Wieder ein neuer / uns bisher unbekannter Name auf MYSTERY SEA, dem Explorer-Label für ambiente & dronige "ozeanische" Klänge, verbunden mit Wasser- und Tiefsee-Metaphorik.
JAEGERs 5 Stücke tauchen ein ins grosse unbestimmte Rauschen, wenn field recordings bis zur Unkenntlichkeit verfremdet und effektiert werden, alles geschieht hier in anderen Zeitdimensionen, langsam & schwer; konkreteres Material wird mitunter "sichtbar", unglaubliche Sounds kommen ans Tageslicht, aber alles bleibt immer recht undurchdringlich & fremd... KASSEL JAEGER ist das Pseudonym eines französischen Komponisten aus dem INA GRM-Umfeld, dementsprechend neue Impulse gibt es hier für das "Oceanic Drone"-Genre...
".... I must keep on guessing, as to the sound input, which seems to me field recordings, which are heavily processed. None of the sounds in any of the five tracks can be easily traced back to it's original form. The end result is what counts of course and the endresult may be heard! In trying to change the underworld of deep sea life, Jaeger has something new on offer that sets him apart from his peers. His music is somewhat louder and grittier than others. A bit more noise based, although this is still far away from Merzbow. At the same time it's not ambient industrial, but rather more academic in approach, even when the compositions themselves are not like serious computer avant-garde. You get my drift? Jaeger's music moves between the lines, off side microsound (too loud), off side noise (too soft) and off side musique concrete (the pieces are too minimal). This all makes this a highly interesting release. Rough and not entirely refined, this is certainly also an odd ball for this label!" [FdW / Vital Weekly]
"Kassel Jaeger is an elusive shadow, a password, a catalytic entity, not a real name anyway... Behind this cover hides a French sound engineer largely involved in the GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales)...
this rather enigmatic self-effacement serves the purpose of an equally impenetrable aural art... One thing is sure, Kassel Jaeger is assuredly a fine soundsmith, and he presents here his debut which should definitely intrigue and draw you into a multifoliated sonorous world...
Passengers on a rough shore, we listen to the wind moanings & faraway voices under the swaying sky... Still stones turn to sand,
to tiny grains rolling down our dreams... Pools warp our image,
reducing it to a volatile emanation... This is the sound of within, skin deep... the sound from turmoil, as a sign of another life,
a new creeping language into the folds... -
Faded forms under the melting sun, blurred silhouettes inhaling a golden mist... "ee[nd]" draws an intricate layout of disturbances,
a corrosive sea of transmutation... " [label info]
