while i was at the
cologne commons conference and music festival last weekend, i had the good fortune of meeting Simon of the
12rec netlabel and
Emil Klotzsch, which gave me a good reason to revisit Emil's wonderful collaboration with Ruediger Krey,
Through All These Years Of Trying To Belong. Emil's work as a
sound designer for film is apparent, as this is an album of expansive audio-visual depth. subtle processed field recordings and ghostly pads loom far on the horizon.. in the middle ground, mournful piano chords.. and close in the foreground, a solo clarinet (and occasionally voice), recorded with intense intimacy, capturing every hiss, squeak, clattering sticky key and half-breathed note. a startling and original ambient work.
