Spät-Europa Die Stadt DS68 CD £12.99 Asmus Tietchens is a major player in the European avant garde and a consistently prolific thinker who has single-handedly formulated and discarded a whole host of advanced operating paradigms. His career stretches right back to the late 70 when he collaborated with the German electronic duo Cluster during the same period that they were engaged in working with Brian Eno. From there he launched a series of beautiful electro-harmonic recordings that pushed the envelope for machine music in much the same way that the early Harmonia and Cluster releases had. In the mid-80s he became involved with Nurse With Wound and Christoph Heemann’s HNAS and his own music became more focussed on blank tones, Industrial-scale ambience and the philosophy of decay and despair as articulated by the Romanian philosopher E M Cioran. These days he also works more rhythmic territories, often in the company of Thomas Köner as half of Kontakte der Junglinge. |
