When an artist asks the questions: "why do we still create genuine music now that digital equipment has made it possible to recycle every piece of music ever recorded", some people might get mad, mainly because digital music making still isn't fully accepted yet. Yet, that exact question forms the basis of 'Fahl' by German sound artist Asmus Tietchens.
The three pieces on this album, are the results of recycled sounds. They are being altered, changed, deepened, distorted and whatnot to create something completely different. Strangely enough, in the end, that process does create something genuine, something with its own sound and style, something strange and out of the ordinary.
So what can I compare the music with? Well, there are plenty of experimental and ambient acts that come to mind, most notably O Yuki Conjugate again, a band that I still see as one of the pinnacles of the genre. Cordell Klier is another name that comes to mind, just to give you an idea about the experimental nature of the tracks.
'Fahm' is a strange little gem, but certainly one that deserves your attention. I'm curious if this experiment with recycled sounds will continue in the near future and I'm curious for the results. But for now, I recommend checking out this piece of work if you're a fan of odd, abstract and otherworldly music.
