Last.But I'd Rather Have a Bowl of Audioscrobbler.Triple R also runs his own label, Traum
in addition to being an active DJ and journalist.But Brinkmann wasn't
always so active in the music community.For nearly 10 years in the 80s
he had been almost completely out of the music circuit.So, what changed
his ways?This love led to a sudden flood of
solo projects and collaborations, all in a very minimal style of techno.Both Richie and Mike are more or less based
on the 80s, and I think I'm more based on the 70s.Brinkmann's recent Soul Center
series.Take architecture from ancient Greece, for example.People like the simple structure of architecture, precise styles, and
in this sense it's the same for both architecture and music.There is a programmatical
structure in many different aspects of life.He responded by saying that he and Triple
R usually play at clubs, constantly changing venues, parties and festivals.It's in the black box where things are changed.They are dead, from one museum to another.This is the white cube, an established institution or accepted way of
thinking.We choose where to play, we don't have a booking agency
or anything like that.It's like a catharsis, so that you feel that there's
no tomorrow.Too much privacy is like a grave.But maybe this is putting
too much importance on the role this music plays in our lives.And this is something that both Brinkmann and Triple R
have consciously been avoiding during their careers in the arts.It's not useful to take truth as a static term, you always have to think
'new' about what it means.It was a real pleasure talking with both Thomas and Riley.Cologne, where, even as you read this, the ground is undoubtedly
shaking in time with their minimal grooves and driving rhythms.SiteCatalyst code version: H.You may give each page an identifying name, server, and channel on

CommentMon, 1 May 2006RA.First compilation of tracks that was issued by Germany's Thomas Brinkmann, original released in 2000.With one bonus previously unreleased track.EP devoted to the Michael Jackson chart breakers "Rock With Me" and "I Can't Help It."Schmickler are responsible for the rest.The last tracks on both sides are the pure string arrangements.Brinkmann's compilation of his classic "cut" (with a knife) techno tracks on the Max Ernst label.CD The whole project is based on a loop which was done in the 70s on a 'Tamla Motown' record by Thelma Houston.While the needle was going round and round, the idea arose to take a cutter and scratch directly into the vinyl, into the last groove, the locked groove.The strong ground noise is a result of about more than 1000 revolvings of this loop to be found on 'Feran Loop' (suppose 07) but less noisy.Track listing: "Corvette" (from max.Oral CDR), "Loplop" (from max.If you strip the surface, you'll often find the same underlying structures in different artistic fields.Take architecture from ancient Greece, for example."Sound can be a strongest narrator.And yet, there are certain tones that our ears are not able to perceive as specialties that are worth capturing and analyzing.Analyzing, because those sounds are the very basics of our brain machineries.Without ever knowing, just like millions of unnoticeable smells, the most ordinary sounds control our unconscious much more then any other music on tape or perfume in a bottle.And even if we realize it, we're unable to mute it.The only thing we can do is to explore it, just like any musical piece or movie and track it's input through us.The more we're completely integrated into this sounds, the more alienated we become while encountering them in the closed room, where all this same noises gain gravity and become one concrete sequence.Our brain starts to resist the resemblance of these noise with the musical tunes.As we thoroughly listen to 9 tracks, we first find ourselves in a certain maze of discouragement, which is derived from incapacity of finding the similarity and comparison.Shortly this illogical puzzle vanishes along with the walls and geographical borders and we find ourselves in the middle of the unknown culture and location.This virtual traveling becomes in fact most factual in next moment, bringing our entire body into motion, moving through the places where the sounds have been initially captured.This is a concrete tour that initiates in Tokyo and rounds up in Ikaria, where the music ends and motion and sound around us return to their usual level of display and perception with one definite note: we can loose ourselves and repeat this tour over and over again."Morrissey can be heavier, as in "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get," the Smiths tune here augmented and darkened by lovely vocals from Tusia Beridze (aka TBA).Even "Lucky Hands" stumbles upon Talking Heads skronky angularity better than the band itself.ROW" with the optimistic and timeless sounds from '20s swing and gypsy jazz musician Django Reinhard.Thomas Brinkmann offers a tribute to the pinball machine, on Klick Revolution.Sisyphus playing pinball with a rolling stone, in the ultimate expression of the tragedy of fun.Lucky Hands is the culmination of action, will, coincidence and two lucky hands."More danceable extracts from the Klick CD.Still comes with the free CD."Corvette", the Art of Perception track, first release of a remix of Water Lilly (Mental Groove artist), a bonus video of "It Never Was You"), etc."Thomas Brinkmann displays his perspective of 5 years of Traum music.Thomas Brinkmann has chosen music from Traum he likes a lot and music which he can manipulate and interpreted.Not only has he changed the contains of some of the tracks, but he has also shifted the frequency range to a sphere which we call the Brinkmann sphere, means the bass heavy active basslines which he develops in his laboratory on his incredible p.Thomas sees and hears things differently and twist and turns them to the better, he might argue.Some of the tracks have not been released on a CD before, like Oliver Hacke 'Polar 1', a favorite of Daniel Bell and many other DJs appreciating the deep end on things. |
