[Vital Weekly] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 More Info listen: https://klanggalerie.bandcamp.com/album/lumi-res Kooperationsalbum der beiden lange befreundeten Hamburger Klangkünstler und Avantgardisten als CD im Digipack auf Klanggalerie. Asmus Tietchens ist Klangkünstler und Komponist aus Hamburg. Sein Interesse für Musique Concrete entdeckte er bereits im Alter von 10 Jahren als er eine deutsche Radiosendung hörte. Ab 1965 begann Tietchens mit Tapeloops zu experimentieren und daraus musikalische Collagen zu erstellen. Bald kam der Einsatz von Synthesizern hinzu. 1980 erschien sein Debütalbum “Nachtstücke”, produziert von Peter Baumann (Tangerine Dream). Es folgte eine Reihe von Alben mit elektronischer Popmusik für das Label Sky, Heimat vieler berühmter Krautrock-Bands. Tietchens verwendet für seine Kompositionen oft Klangquellen wie Wasser, menschliche Stimmen oder Papier. Auf Labels wie United Dairies, Esplendor Geometrico oder Dom Records vertreten, ist er mit der Industrial-Musikszene verbunden. Tietchens hat keinerlei akademischen Hintergrund, alles was er tut, ist autodidaktisch erlernt. Trotzdem war er viele Jahre Professor für Sounddesign in Hamburg (FH für Gestaltung). Tom Fleischauer aka. Alice Freshmouth ist als Musiker, Komponist, Engineer und Produzent seit Jahrzehnten im Hamburger Underground und darüber hinaus bekannt. Seit 40 Jahren miteinander befreundet, haben beide Musiker hier erstmals zusammengearbeitet, die elf Tracks bilden eine ideale Schnittmenge ihrer unterschiedlichen musikalischen Universen. Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio programme when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut album Nachtstücke was released, produced by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the Sky label, home of many Krautrock bands. Tietchens often uses special source materials for his compositions such as water (Seuchengebiete), human voices (Von Mund zu Mund), paper (Papier ist geduldig). He is associated with the Industrial music scene through his collaborations and releases on labels such as United Dairies, Esplendor Geometrico or Dom Records. Tietchens never studied composition, he has no academic background, everything he does is self taught or learnign by doing. Nevertheless, he was professor for sound design in Hamburg in recent years. Alice Freshmouth is an anagram project by Tom Fleischhauer. Tom plays guitar and bass and has worked as producer, live sound engineer, booker, promoter and composer. Him and Asmus have been friends for over 40 years, they regularly meet in Hamburg, either as musicians or attending concerts. When Tom played Asmus his most recent musical compositions, the two decided that their work was not completely compatible, but shows enough similar approach to start a spontaneous collaboration. Soon afterwards first ideas were exchanged and half a year later an album was born. Both musicians think that there is equal measure of each of them to be heard on this CD. Full tracklist: 1. Courbé 2. Drone Léger 3. La Lueur 4. Bruit De Nuages 5. Sombre 6. Long Souffle 7. Sous La Lumière 8. À Partir De 9. Lune Souriante 10. Blanche 11. Claire. https://www.klanggalerie.com/gg482 "Let’s assume Asmus Tietchens needs no introduction; in about 1000 podcasts (yes, a small celebration coming up in Vital Weekly 1470), he appears 48 times. It’s also no secret I love his work very much. In recent years, Tietchens has worked with many people, mainly by exchanging sound files through the Internet. I am unsure if that’s also the case of Alice Freshmouth, which is an anagram of Tom Fleischhauer. I had not heard of him, but he’s a guitar and bass player and has worked as a producer, live sound engineer, booker, promoter, and composer. More importantly, he’s been friends with Asmus for 40 years, and they meet regularly at concerts. They believe their current work could have been more compatible, but a similar approach led to a spontaneous collaboration. Ideas were exchanged, and only a little later, there was an album. It could be like Tietchens’ approach to the studio-as-instrument that he could work with anybody. Yet, this album’s music also sounds a bit different from other recent Tietchens collaborations. The typical Tietchens sound he gets with the sort of processing he does is part of this, but unlike many other times, it’s embedded in whatever Fleischhauer brings. It is hard to say what that is, but the music sounds more musical or less abstract than what we usually hear from Tietchens (with or without guests). It is sometimes industrial or ambient, but always with that vague notion of a melody, or at least a trace. Also, there seems to be a greater diversity of sounds in the music here, with more field recordings, straightforward drone sounds, and vaguely industrial soundscapes. It is a vastly varied release, so it’s somewhat surprising. Indeed, this is the most different of his recent collaborations. Suppose what I suspect is accurate, and they recorded this together in the studio or sat together while working on the final mix. In that case, this might mean Tietchens should, perhaps, let more people in the studio and change his modus operandi, as these results are excellent. Following a string of re-issues, this is an all-new work for Tietchens on the Klang Galerie label." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
