Fieberflug - Ernte


Licht & Stahl

One tape on Licht & Stahl which is already a bit older is 'Ernte' by Fieberflug. Somehow the tape got stuck (and this is said in the nicest way possible) in my player and I must have played it a dozen times already since receiving the promo. Fieberflug is a side-project by Flutwacht which makes the release even more intriguing, because it doesn't sound like anything I've previously heard by him.

Instead of the heavy noise-sculptures we know Flutwacht for, this tape is filled with slow evolving loopbased drones and sounds. Additinal - almost inaudible but definitely incomprehensible - vocals create an atmosphere which has fragment of PE bands in their doomiest moments, as well as the trance inducing loop-behavior with heavy use of delays we know from :zoviet.france:

At other moments the sounds develop into a minimal yet intense cacophony of glitchy spooky sounds with are carefully placed over layer of synthetic or organic origin. It only adds to the intruiginess (my God, how I wish that was an actual word).

The tape end up in being a really very nice approach to sound and atmospheres. Maybe not all too original, but if something is good listening material for way more then "just once": Who cares?
