Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Auf Abwegen aatp80 Release Year: 2022 Note: their second "solo" collaboration album, DIRK SERRIES delivering sounds on acoustic guitar. TIETCHENS created 16 pieces with this: " In many of these pieces, the acoustic guitar is to be recognized. Tietchens cuts up the material, creates loops, and finds interaction between these re-arrangements... there is a great variety in approaches here, as already noted, and it makes up quite a remarkable, different album for Tietchens." [FdW / Vital Weekly] - ed. of 300 copies Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info "Dirk Serries and Asmus Tietchens worked before, mostly as Vidna Obmana and Asmus Tietchens. Now that Serries no longer releases new music as Vidna Obmana, and he has new found love for improvised music, he releases music under his own name. The first time they worked s such (Vital Weekly 1197), Serries delivered sound material from wind instruments. For this new collaboration, he delivers source material from his acoustic guitar, a Höfner. Tietchens uses twelve sections, some he uses a few times, so there are sixteen pieces of music in total. It is interesting to hear what kind of processing Tietchens applies to the guitar. I expect some heavy analogue or digital processing so that the guitar is no longer recognizable, but that is not the case. In many of these pieces, the acoustic guitar is to be recognized. Tietchens cuts up the material, creates loops, and finds interaction between these re-arrangements. He then feeds it through modulators, pitch shifters, and such until there is some kind of dialogue between the recognizable guitar and the electronics. The approaches are pretty diverse; sometimes, I had the impression I was listening to Serries solo, maybe applying a few sound effects himself, but sometimes, the level of abstraction is much higher, such as in 'Höfner Akte 3C'. Tietchens is a master in keeping the music precise and to the point. This new album is no exception. Many of the pieces are between two and three minutes and say everything there is to say. Also, there is a great variety in approaches here, as already noted, and it makes up quite a remarkable, different album for Tietchens."
