Epsilon! Die MENGEN-Serie mit rein digitalen Klängen geht weiter, auf dem US-Label LINE/12K! Wenn je für Musik die Charakterisierung „ANORGANISCH“ zutrifft, dann für diese !!
“LINE is proud to present e-Menge the new installment of the Mengen series from influential German electronic music pioneer Asmus Tietchens. LINE will be releasing the subsequent works in this series. Epsilon-Menge means Epsilon quantity.
- The four pieces of this recording represent my aesthetic approach to space. Space not as in a "spacey" or astronomic sense, but space as an extension of the three-dimensional region in which we exist. Caused by acoustic foregrounds and acoustic backgrounds, spaces of different capacities occur. In the early 20th century the fine arts began to abolished spatiality, I wish to restore it by sound.- Asmus Tietchens, 2005 “ [label info]
“....This new work, and so did the previous three, are works that shows that Tietchens is connected to the world of microsound. An almost empty sound, or maybe some faint background hum, and on top some sort of rhythmic construction, which is being repeated every now and then never seems to form any sort of repeating rhythm. Tietchens says that his work deals with space; not the one above our heads or anything astronomical, but as in three dimensional. Some of the sounds are in the foreground and some are in the background. The background is usually the humming part and the foreground the rhythmic constellations - which, excuse me, sound like rotating planets and stars shooting by. As a truely devoted Tietchens man I can only applaud this CD, another fine small masterpiece.” [FdW / Vital Weekly]
