Drawing In Sound by Christoph Lammers and Andreas Usenbenz

Karl Grümpe

Christoph Lammers and Andreas Usenbenz | Drawing In SoundKlanggold (12”/DL) Abstraction is the quality of dealing with ideas rather than events or the freedom from representational qualities. That being said, we’re about to venture into something bearing the above principal, but in a more fluid way. We’ll deal with abstraction, ideas and an event, free from strict representation. In spring of 2018, experimental sound artist Andreas Usenbenz (Ulm, Germany) and illustrator Christoph Lammers (Munich) came together and tried to approach the concept of “meadow”. They collaborated for the opening performance of the Wiese (meadow) exhibition, at Städtische Galerie, Rosenheim, Germany. … Continue reading Drawing In Sound by Christoph Lammers and Andreas Usenbenz

KE I TE KI by Akio Suzuki & Aki Onda

Giuseppe Pisano

Akio Suzuki & Aki Onda | KE I TE KI Room40 (CD/DL) Review by Giuseppe Pisano When we talk about music we often tend to talk about time. The way a composer manages and builds structures over time. But sound is as much depending on space as it is related to time, everything from room acoustics to the way weather influences the qualities of sound in a radical way and taking such considerations into account this has become a crucial set of elements in the aesthetics of many modern day composers.

How To Destroy Angels by Coil x Zos Kia x Marc Almond

TJ Norris

Coil x Zos Kia x Marc Almond How To Destroy Angels (Cold Spring; CD/LP/DL) With a disc out on 8/3 and a platter expected 9/10 it’s one of those rare moments in time when a seminal label digs up a thirty-five year-old gem in all it’s dusty profound glory. Combining the triad of underground talent between Coil (John Balance + Peter Christopherson), Marc Almond and Zos Kia (aka John Gosling), we have, for the first time, a remastered and exclusive, complete live recording of A Slow Fade To Total Transparency (Air Gallery, London, 1983). This has been broken into three … Continue reading How To Destroy Angels by Coil x Zos Kia x Marc Almond

Live.Bites^^//.. [FA#08] by Owlbites

TJ Norris

Out of Left Field (& Back Again): Recently released on Faux Amis from Utrecht we are listening to Owlbites (Thanos Fotiadis) new live album, Live.Bites^^//.. [FA#08] (CD, Digital). The title throws me a bit, perhaps it’s simply a digital signature of some sort. Releasing music since 2015 out of the Netherlands, this is my introduction, and it’s a fully realized listening experience, and I mean that in an illuminated storytelling sense. Broken into three tracks that each run for a bit over twenty-three minutes I can’t help considering numerology. The meditative church is like a radio play, with a dogmatic … Continue reading Live.Bites^^//.. [FA#08] by Owlbites
