I just got an email about this new release on Raster-Noton. The samples sound good... might appeal to those who liked Ryoji Ikeda's Dataplex (though I would say Bretschneider's work is considerably less "harsh" than Ikeda's). rhythm is neither pop nor avant-garde, but deals simply with the basic principles of any modern music: rhythm. frank bretschneider takes his, never simple, but all the more heartfelt relationship to rhythm and it’s complexity, to an intense inventory and, this time, works less out of suspenseful abstract sounds, than out of grooves. the terseness and precision of previous works remains, as well as a preference for high-voltage sounds halfway between noise and tone. new is the assemblage of the material. a combination of programming, composition and construction, which draws a clear distinction to his preferred loop-based work on foregone albums, is connected with bretschneider's very idiosyncratic aesthetic of digital sound: controlled and objective. the whole follows simple mechanical states: on/off, forward/backward, up/down, slow/fast, loud/quiet, dull/brilliant, soft/hard and is characterized by the absence of any romanticism. still this return to the elementary, the fundamental, does not diminish the music to dance-floor functionality, instead bretschneider always stays emphatically musical and manages to generate sophisticated and complex rhythm-structures, which respectively induce minimal deviations in frequency and timing relationships to generate a surplus of funk. in all, rhythm is probably bretschneider’s most direct, clear and concentrated work yet. frank bretschneider works as a musician and composer in berlin. since 1996 he has published a number of albums for raster-noton, mille plateaux and 12k. the music for rhythm was created between june 2006 and march 2007. |

You predicted correctly, old tolstoyed. My autechre fan ear holes are liking it and, dare I say.... loving it? It's Ikeda but with real solid objects this time; pushing boulders (grubble) and scraping scissors (silver noise) all..in.. funk time. There are bassy bursts and nothing much very special. Just what headphones need tonight! |
