Tender or furious, resolutely contemporary or romantic, sometimes evoking of old demons of 20th century music and even those of more ancient times but not hesitating a second to be propelled beyond the imaginary the more unslung and with a name predestined to generate trouble, Rosa Luxembourg quintet is the un pleasant small black sheep with 5 legs of the improvised music. The utopian zoologists having studied the animal say of this gathering of individuals clearers and without musical borders that in any case they will never know any more than in their first discovered, the surprises being total, extreme, renewed, innumerable and even more…

Ian D Hawgood – A Life In Abstract Colours

Hawgood

GENRE: Electronic, ambient, drone

Label: Resting Bell
Release date: 2008
Total running time: 0:59:20
“A Life In Abstract Colours” contains 5 pieces with a duration of nearly 60 minutes. It is a monolithic work. Walls of guitar- and piano-drones are shifting slightly from one ear to the other. Compared to the earlier Resting Bell-releases, it’s a pure and stripped-down composition. No field-recordings are used on these tracks, no little melodic lines are dripping into your ears as usual with his work, but instead focus on slowly evolving melodies carefully drawn out.

TRACKLIST
01 – An Open Letter To My Father
02 – Light Staggering Across My Windowless Room
03 – Not Really Arriving Anywhere
04 – More And More Like You
05 – A Life In Abstract Colours

Galdson – Roots

Galdson

GENRE: Classical, pianoIt worth a try!

Label: Jamendo
Release date: 2006
Total running time: 0:50:27
Roots contains compositions about the evolution I experienced during my years as a student. Each song is the result of very different circumstances, of an understanding of music which has gradually ripened with age. Roots is a collection of sixteen songs which correspond to sixteen different times in my life, which tell different stories, which feel different and make up independent works in terms of form, texture and sound. The aim of this work is to make my listeners enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed composing it.

01 – Roots
02 – Old Times
03 – Life Is Good
04 – Come Back Homes
05 – Distance Friend
06 – Sea Heart

ETI – Airline

ETI

GENRE: Electronic, ambient, soundscape, minimalism

Label: Phonocake
Release date: 2009
Total running time: 0:53:42
We just apply the brakes. Tea bowls, pieces of cake and art are perceivable only in slow motion. Relatively free structured sound design let the issue of music and antimusic arise. Design studies and sound collages by a Dresden-based solo-artist, who is otherwise active in the fields of Electro and Hip Hop. Watching from a crumb perspective. Musical Koans, which only illusionary follow conventions. Conventions, that are basically already discarded. Indeed the single tracks ‘see’ and ‘meet’ each other, but do not really find together. Here you find a story of disengagement und passing one and another. Those, who try to catch the complexity will be left behind with a hand full of sand, which leaks through the fingers.

TRACKLIST
01 – The Rules I Don’t Make
02 – Strength Pt. 1
03 – Cybachrome
04 – Alternate
05 – Drip, collide
06 – Corn Rain
07 – Moments of Error
08 – Old Magic
09 – Drivers
10 – Strength Pt. 2
11 – Curve

I Am The Architect – 11

I Am The Architect

GENRE: Classical, Instrumental Rock, Post-Rock

Label: Lost Children
Release date: 2008
Total running time: 0:30:05
I AM THE ARCHITECT found their place in student-town Muenster (Germany) in autumn 2007. Having a diverse musical background the four members focussed on a certain goal: Finding a unique musical style that relies on Post-Rock, early ninetees Shoegaze and classical music.
Out of this mixture occur songs that are able to combine contrasts. Complexe structures meet catchy melodies, a melancholic atmosphere opens the door for brute soundwalls. No song sounds like the other but nevertheless an intense closeness emerges, especially live!
The music of I AM THE ARCHITECT is not limited by musical boundaries in order to develop a diverse sound which is enriched by instruments like violin, cello or transverse flute. Together with a distinctive basement of keyboards and synthesizers you’ll hear an impressive musical broadness.
In a relatively short period of time the band became an important part in the music scene of their hometown and the area around it. The discrete songs and the passionate live-shows met with high approval by audiences and critics. A highlight has been the support show for THIS WILL DESTROY YOU in April 2008.

TRACKLIST
01 – Quit
02 – Remote Control
03 – Silence Silence
04 – Solitude
