all music by Terre Thaemlitz
performed by zeitkratzer

erre Thaemlitz developed the present pieces for and with zeitkratzer. The starting points were Thaemlitz’ releases „means from an end“ and „couture cosmetique“, which present him as an electro acoustic composer with an amazing sensibility for sound and harsh cutting techniques. This is especially evident in „sloppy 42nds“, and moreover, Thamlitz’ filtering techniques are transformed into a complex, nearly surrealistic instrumental sound in „Superbonus“.

Thaemlitz’ provenance as a New York underground DJ is recalled, as well as his political engagement in „Down Home Kami-Sakunobe“ and „Hobo Train“. On this CD you will find the most Pop oriented music - including references to dance and  house - zeitkratzer has ever released! But don’t forget to listen to the main track, hidden as “superbonus”…

Reviews

la plus périlleuse de ses collaborations … c'est vraiment le sentiment de liberté totale qui s'impose ici
GouteMesDisques, F, 2/2009

großartig gespielt! Im syntaktischen Sinn vermehrt die Störung den Informationsgehalt des Gesamtsignals, weil es seine Vielfalt vergrößert", wird Robert R. Höldrich im Booklet zitiert, und genau darauf kommt es diesen Kompositionen an: die Vielfalt zu vergrößern, sich zu trauen, alles Mögliche auch tatsächlich möglich zu machen.”
Titel Magazin, D, 12/2008

lebendig und frisch, überraschend und, aber ja doch!, verflixt groovy
Felix Klopotek, Stadtrevue Köln, D, 12/2008

This is surely a great piece.
Vital Weekly, Frans de Waard, NL, 2/2009

complejo cercano al surrealismo instrumental
ESP Radio Nacional de España, 3/2009

it's difficult not to find yourself completely enthralled with the track's sheer audacity, acoustic warts and all, sans circuitry. All such contemporary reinterpretations should be so empathetic and mimetic.
