Steinbruchel

Line line012

track 12

First full length CD and first US release. This CD is based upon a sound installation "zeit=", meaning 'at the same time'. All of the sound sources are derived from rain sounds, but then heavily processed. In the installation he used sixteen speakers spread throughout a park. I am not entirely sure how these sixteen speakers translate to the twelve, six minute tracks on this CD. Things hum and crackle, like rain falling on a roof, on the windows or just on the ground. With sound processing creating smaller and thicker clouds of sounds, this work is surely one of the better inside the Line catalogue and most defintely the best work of Steinbruchel to date. Quite synthetic, but also quite warm at the same time. Highly recommended laptop ambient.

雨音を素材として、微妙なゆらぎや心地の良いノイズ、サイン派など様々な音へと変換されている。１６台のスピーカーを使ったインスタレーションを音源化したもの。まるでシャルティエとソガーの中間のような、デリケートで美しいサウンド。
