TARKATAK — Mormor
More Info
"Tarkataks MORMOR schafft es mit einer bezaubernden Leichtigkeit, unser Hren in Bewegung zu versetzen. Wir finden uns am Ende der Nacht auf einem Flo, in einem Gewsser aus Klang, soweit das Hren reicht. Akustische Rume ffnen sich, und bieten behutsam bearbeiteten Klngen zuvorkommend ihren Platz an. Melodien singen von ihrem eigenen Entstehen und Vergehen. Statischer Dunst verhllt die nahe Dmmerung, bis in der Ferne mechanische Oszillationen von einem Ufer und frhen Vgeln knden. Klippen unter der Oberflche erzeugen schimmernde Interferenzen. Der Ort ist erfllt von einem fernen Echo letzter Hausmusik, und verstrte Endlosschleifen erzhlen in fremden Sprachen von einer unmglichen Insel, auf der Menschen und Maschinen einen gemeinsamen Rhythmus finden. Vershnt besteigen wir wieder unser Flo - und lassen uns von MORMOR auf erhabenen Wellen zum fliehenden Horizont tragen." [label info]
"...Tarkatak's music is still highly atmospheric, but much more sparse these days. Each of the four long pieces is built around just a few loops, which Tarkatak plays around with, changing the color of them, getting them out of sync and back in sync again, and such like, and creates a wonderful textured sound. There are times when 'Mormor' reminded me of Taylor Deupree, but then a bit more dark, but it has the same relaxed feeling to it. But there is also the featuring of rhythm, which is also an entirely aspect, certainly when it comes down to stripped down techno rhythms. Quite a break with the past, I think and quite a step forward. Including is a film for one of the tracks, which depicts the sea and the sand, along with a lonely man - the sort of film you'd expect with this lonesome music. Great CD, and hopefully bringing him some more recognition" [FdW / Vital Weekly]
