I know I don't post much to this list but I do lurk quite intensely, following many of the interesting and informative threads. However, I now have a new release! Markus and I both utilized loops throughout: DiNDDL08 - Markus Reuter & Zero Ohms - The Sun Is Just The Sun, But The Stars They Call The Heavens New collaboration between the German touch guitarist Markus Reuter & American woodwind experimentalist Zero Ohms. The name of Reuter will be familiar to most DiN aficionados for his three solo collaborations with label boss Ian Boddy although his musical influence extends well beyond DiN. He is rapidly establishing himself as a producer, performer and contemporary composer of note with a multitude of projects including most notably his collaboration under the banner of Tuner with King Crimson's drummer extraordinaire Pat Mastelotto. Zero Ohms is a new entrant into the panoply of DiN artists but he has been very active for many years in the fields of ambient electronica with his unique combination of flute, woodwind and electronics. He has released many albums including most recently Beyond The Portal (a collaboration with synthesist Craig Padilla) on the Lotuspike label. The Sun Is Just The Sun, But The Stars They Call The Heavens is being released as a digital only release on the DiNDDL label and features seven tracks spanning almost 68 minutes of beguiling, atmospheric ambient tracks. The creative process involved Reuter sending Zero Ohms a mesmerising collection of his touch guitar loops and atmospheres. Ohms then sifted through these selecting out the tracks he felt the most empathy with before adding layers of flutes and wind-synths as well as a selection of field recordings that add a dreamlike tapestry of extra detail to the tracks. The pieces where then sent back to Reuter for mixing and further refinement with the final result showcasing a seamless blend of the two composers artistic palettes. Richard Roberts ZERO OHMS "We are no longer the same after hearing certain sounds, and this is more the case when we hear organized sounds, sounds organized by another human being: music." - Karlheinz Stockhausen "If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. "Music is one of the basic attributes of matter; into whatever forms it may be organized." - John Muir DiNDDL08 - Markus Reuter & Zero Ohms - The Sun Is Just The Sun, But The Stars They Call The Heavens New collaboration between the German touch guitarist Markus Reuter & American woodwind experimentalist Zero Ohms. |
