released August 1, 2011

On the two 10-minute pieces that make up this release, EMERGE uses samples from bass guitar (track 1) and prepared electric guitar (track 2) to create reverberating sonic environments that combine his characteristic dark drones with chords and melodic fragments that lend these compositions an unusually warm, acoustic sound.

EMERGE aka Sascha Stadlmeier is the founder and curator of the Attenuation Circuit label. Underlining the label’s collaborative spirit, EMERGE has invited label artists Eazy and Gerhard Zander, with whom he also collaborates in live improvisations (see “Betrachtung”, ACC 1001), to contribute snippets of their playing the bass guitar and prepared electric guitar. While most of EMERGE’s earlier works process their source materials way beyond any possibility of recognition, the two compositions on this disc are markedly different. Not only does the processing sometimes enhance the acoustic, analogue, and rather delicate feel of the source instruments, instead of sculpting the source materials into massive, bass-heavy blocks of sound. What also adds a new dimension to EMERGE’s catalogue of austere, abstract dronescapes is the fact that the two pieces, especially track 2, use a varied palette of seemingly rather referential sounds, conjuring up associations that range from the zoomorphic to the oriental.

BAD ALCHEMY

Bei Contrition (ACM 1004, 3" CD-R) variiert EMERGE, das ist Labelmacher Stadlmeier selbst, seine dröhnambiente Musique concrète-Handschrift insofern, dass er das eingemischte Basismaterial, nämlich eine Bassgitarre und eine präparierte E-Gitarre, gespielt von Gerhard Zander und EaZy, erkennbar dominieren lässt. Die Imagination wird mit dumpf dongenden, abwärts kaskadierenden, aber gelegentlich von Lichtstrahlen durchschossenen und hell aufgesprudelten Sounds in die Tiefe und ins Blaue getaucht. Die präparierte Gitarre wirft dieses 'Licht', aber so, wie die bizarren Leuchtfische der Tiefsee ihr Licht werfen und dabei einen Blick auf ihre eigene Unwahrscheinlichkeit erlauben.
