Kenia Meets Krautronics Stefan Schneider & Sven Kacirek |
|
| Beschreibung: | LP+CD version. Kenya meets Krautronics. Stefan Schneider and Sven Kacirek bring African rhythms into dark electronica. Under the auspices of the Goethe Institute and Unesco, Stefan Schneider and Sven Kacirek have spent a fair amount of time in Kenya in recent years. As they travelled the country, they recorded rare, traditional music in different locations, subsequently releasing two albums of unembellished field recordings to document their findings. Shadows Documents takes a different approach: Schneider and Kacirek graft their acoustically-gleaned impressions of Kenya onto pure electronic templates (with analog accents). Field recordings as such cannot be heard. A central role is played by the repetitive, hypnotic element which is so integral to tribal music with it's complex rhythms. Both musicians share a fascination with these very rhythms, a recurring theme in their careers to date: clearly audible in Stefan Schneider's work with Kreidler and to Rococo Rot, as well as on his albums with Hans-Joachim Roedelius. In Kacirek's case we can look to his solo albums for evidence, in particular on the much-lauded Kenya Sessions. The duo's modus operandi differs from that of renowned Krautrock pairings such as Dieter Moebius/Mani Neumeier or Michael Rother/Klaus Dinger (= NEU!), where the drum kit plays a dominant role as the driving force. With Schneider and Kacirek, drums mutate into a sort of synthesizer instrument, almost subliminally melting into the sound of other instruments as a virtual observer, adding a certain nuance here and there, rather than performing a more catalytic function. Played with greater restraint, the drums create variations, translating physique into precision. Synthesizers, meanwhile, assume many of the percussive duties. A prominent guest musician joins the duo on one track: Niklas Addo Nettey, a Berlin resident since the early '80s, played with Fela Kuti 70., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Labelcode BURB175.1"Shadows Documents" ist das neueste LP-Release des innovativen Duos Schneider/Kacirek und erscheint bei Bureau B / Indigo. Das Album besticht durch eine einzigartige Mischung aus elektronischem Minimalismus und organischer Percussion und erschafft so eine atmosphärische Klanglandschaft voller Hypnose und Tiefe. Die Platte erforscht subtile rhythmische Strukturen sowie melodische Fragmente und zieht die Hörer in eine Welt zwischen analoger Wärme und experimentellen Texturen hinein. Schneider/Kacirek haben bereits mit früheren Kollaborationen wie "Shadows Documents" große Anerkennung für ihren einfallsreichen Umgang mit Rhythmus und Sounddesign erhalten ? ihre Musik schlägt Brücken zwischen Genres und spricht Liebhaber von Avantgarde-Electronica ebenso an wie Fans zeitgenössischer Instrumentalmusik.
Bureau B / Indigo steht für hochwertige Veröffentlichungen im Bereich Experimentalelektronik sowie Krautrock von etablierten Größen bis hin zu aufstrebenden Talenten der Szene. Mit einem Katalog namhafter Künstler wie Cluster oder Roedelius hat sich das Label als feste Größe der europäischen Independent-Musikszene etabliert. |
