Licht und Schatten is the new venture from Germany’s Field Rotation,
and also the prelude to his main album due for release on Fluid Audio
in 2010.

Field Rotation was founded in 2008 by the electronic music composer and producer Christoph Berg in Kiel, northern Germany.

Experimenting with electronic and
classical elements this project combines floating soundscapes with
electroacoustic colours to create minimalistic soundtracks renouncing
of visualisation, but interacting with the listeners emotions and
feelings. As a violinist and pianist Christoph combines the synthetic sound
engineering with natural sounds to communicate his short acoustic tales
and impressions.

One of Cologne artist Wolfgang Voigt’s most celebrated aliases, Studio 1 is not so much a title but rather a series of ten influential records. Beginning with the Green record in 1995, Voigt began releasing one Studio 1 record after another, with each untitled record bearing only a different color to differentiate it from its predecessor. The records featured a unique style of ultra-minimal techno, characterized by a palette of bouncy beats at varying frequencies, intricately arranged into a spacious yet complex multi-layered rhythm.

This is Berlin-based Paul Kalkbrenner’s fourth full-length CD on the
BPitch Control label, featuring re-workings of his earlier 12″ tracks
by Wighnomy Brothers, Sascha Funke, Agoria, Ellen Allien & Apparat,
Joris Voorn, Alexander Kowalski, Modeselektor and Michael Mayer.
ReWorks is a very special project that Paul has been planning for a
long time. He asked some of his friends, whom he also very much
appreciates musically, for remixes. Paul opened his treasure box so
everyone could pick the track he/she likes most and play around with
it. The result is a wonderful remix album that not only gives a new
touch to some of Kalkbrenner’s greatest tracks, but was fun work for
the experienced remixers. Wighnomy Brothers introduce us to the record
smoothly, but in an exciting way. They crafted their version of
“Steinbeisser” without any beats and only concentrated on pure sound.
Sascha Funke’s “Miles Away” gets down to business right away —
striking beats and a sing-along melody of a reverb synth that, towards
the end, builds up to an upbeat peak. The first half of Agoria’s remix
of “Page 1, 2, 3” is a beat that lays itself upon you hypnotically, and
the second half shows off with a great accordion line from the
original. The wake-up call comes from Ellen Allien & Apparat. First
melodic, swinging beats jump around happily, then break, facet and beat
again, in unison with the melody. Joris Voorn’s version of “Press On”
is a blend of thrilling anticipation and impatience. Alexander Kowalski
focuses on a straight and pushing beat of a dry bass drum with a nice
reverbed vocal sample. Modeselektor sound like a techno marching band
with their version of “Gia 2000,” and Michael Mayer is the whispering
fade-out. One chord only is enough to set free all those happy
happy-hormones that make you dance to the stereo and start this CD all
over again!
