Split 12“ des melancholischen Digital-Songwriters aus Gent / Belgien und dem australischen digital-droner & Glitch-Experimentalist. Sehr minimale & exquisite Klänge von PIMMON, während KÖHN eher sphärisch-dronig vorgeht.
„ Mixer invited Belgium artist Köhn and Australian Pimmon for a split LP release. Both artists have a strong melodious and harmonic sound, though both with a very personal twist. Pimmons more recent works show wide stretched sound-streams, freshened with little sharp elements floating around. His side on this split-LP is made up from 4 tracks, showing his desire for reduction. These tracks are among his most minimal work, consisting of not much more than a few chords, strings and occasional melodies. Layers are shifting out of and into place, building a lot of tension in this universe. Because of this, the few but well placed cutting interruptions are able to achieve changes in atmosphere without losing grip on the build-up. Pimmon has a great talent for creating organic-like sounds and processing these together with noise-elements, creating a unique flowing environment. The B-side also shows 4 tracks. Köhn's music from the lowlands is surely hard to get in the sense that it's pleasantly unclear what he will come up with next. Köhn's answer to contemporary glitch culture can be heard in the first 2 tracks, although there's too many musical
elements surrounding to make any mix-up while tracking down the artist responsible. Microscopic fragments in a wide range of high and low-end sound, arranged to build strong rhythms and adding a lot of groove... glitch as a source, not as a goal. The remaining 2 tracks show a melodious whole of loops synchronised in such a way that things are building up instead of repeating. Spacious and open music, although using small sounds, with a melancholic atmosphere..Definitely coming from a man shaped by the non-blocked view of flat landscapes. [press-release]
