This is my introduction to this German musician, and yours too, as this is his debut album. The label describes the album as "a collection of pulsing, shimmering electro-acoustic pieces. A multitude of sound sources, (including piano, percussion, synth and others I can't identify) are treated and layered up, often underpinned by a strong pulse. Sometimes the pieces sway heavily into the digital realm, with precise edits, clicks and cuts, other times the processing is more gentle and reserved."

The disc opens up with "Konfusion," which brings to mind a patchwork quilt of sound. There's a little bit of everything thrown into here. Bits of metal rattling together, someone pounding on wood, noisy synth washes, bits of synthesized voice. But like any good Patchwork quilt, it hangs together well. All of the pieces fit together in harmony. " Strömung" also takes a similar patchwork approach but has a different feel to it. Arpeggiated analog synth and static put together with kind of ethno-ambient with a beat that one would expect from a group like O Yuki Conjugate. Quite nice. If you ever wanted an auditory representation of what dizziness feels like, "Uppehåll" has you covered. Swirling synth gives a sense of motion and disorientation. "Verflechtung" is up next, and is all about the rhythm and heavy bass. It sounds like he's hitting wooden blocks, metal pipe, and whatever he can get his hands on. Throughout the track there's a heavy bass beat that keeps suddenly shifting with synth drone as the occasional sparse piano filter throughout. "Zwischen" begins with a resonant drum beat that goes through most of the track like a heartbeat over some sparse ambiance. Part way through, the track shifts into beautiful intense drone. This isn't smooth; it's got an edge from the sawtooth wave in the middle of it that gives it a little bit of dissonance. In the end it all goes back to the sparse feeling. Quite nice. Finally, "Sekundenschlaf" closes it off with a 10 minute track of spacey atmosphere and chimes that evokes the opening of "Time" by Pink Floyd. This goes on for a while until it starts becoming more and more intense with the drone. You can think of this as liquid condensing on the side of a glass until it becomes fully liquid and water vapor condensing until it becomes fully liquid and then dissipates again.

Overall, this is quite nice and well worth checking out if you like interesting atmospheres. This album weighs in at around 44 minutes.
