Alexander Wendt - Unreleased - Music For Visualizers
Unreleased - Music For Visualizers was conceived over a period of several years and is presented as a triptych, exploring expansive terrain with Confluence Of Two Rivers, microscopic structures in trio-log (which itself circling the complexity of 3 - in this case three-letter linguistic elements) and presents a 20 minute recording conceived in a live scenario. Unreleased Music For Visualizers connects concepts of ambient music, familiar to listeners of Brian Eno (Music For Airports/Films) and Erik Satie (Music D'Ameublement) with todays communicational default devices ñ performing a leap from the ambience of the past century to the commodity of todays visual-music machines.
Reviews
"It's a great image of scale and conflicting currents"
Janek Schaefer / July 2008
"... this is glacial electronic music from the Ryoji Ikeda/Alva.Noto school of composition at its very best; ... where Wendt is carving out his niche is in the blend of minimalism and a distinctly British sense of lilting romantic harmony. This is an easy album to get lost in, ... Highly recommended."
Boomkat, October 2008
"... a walkthrough of how to make a classic album ... wonderfully processed tones that are atmospheric and challenging,... This is a superb contemporary minimalist work and comes highly recommended to fans of Line, Dragon's Eye and other labels in the genre. Excellent."
Mike Olliver, Smallfish, October 2008
"You may have caught Alexander Wendt stalking the unlit corners of Resonance FM; until recently he hosted a show (FREQUENZEN) which doggedly documented environmental electronica. His own music roams similar terrain - this survey dates back to 2002, fusing finely-tuned miniatures into an overarching three-part narrative. Wendt's strengths as a composer are clearly stated by the opening "Confluence Of Indus And Zaskar", where the glint of high frequency shards of sound at first distract from the stealthy arrival of a sonorous chord progression in the lower register. The balance between the scurry of astringent detail and the slow emergence of an almost amniotic whole is just about perfect. "trio-log" is similarly incremental in impact - sparse digital
events gather pace before arriving (in "bus") at an almost alchemical chime; it's likethe moment of nuclear fusion, and the etiolated, uncanny drones which follow sketch the contour of a landscape forever altered."
