It’s December 3rd, Tuesday, and here we have the 3rd entry of the Taalem Advent Calendar. And as I was familiar with the previous artists, Compest is a new name for me. Yes, there was an earlier release, too, in 2005, but I had never heard of Martin Steinebach from Kahl before. This is weird because he’s active as Compest, Conscientia Peccati, EM1V, Monoid, StillStand and Karma F.I.S.T. It’s ranging from noise to rhythms to ambient and just about everything. Someone to remember. “Zustand und Stasis” is an excellent drone with a corrugation sound (feel free to google it) as a recurrent theme forming an ever-so-gentle basic to build from. And that building is done great. There is a good balance between all the layers, and even though the composition is fully plastered with sounds, there still seems to be enough open space to fill with additional sounds or layers. Well done.
