Modelbau - Movement mp3 download

"Here's another release by Modelbau - one of the more recent additions to an impressively extensiveset of monikers used by Frans de Waard. All material on this cassette was taken from one singleevening-long session. Opener “Mechanik” consist very aptly of a dense mechanical drone that isaccompanied by noise based cuts & clicks - a bit like a slow fuse box singing along to chaotickaraoke versions of Stefan Betke’s Pole. This goes on until modulated high end synth fragmentsmake their way to the foreground while the glitches recede. “Measure” is a pleasant dive into amore distinctly synthesised sound that is perhaps somewhat akin to that of Thorofon; a darkmodulated synth drone, analogue glissando pulses and a distorted ray of monotonous mid rangeradiation. The track builds up to a point where it just drops all parts except for the mid range layerthat then modulates for a while and slowly echoes away into infinity. “Mass” is a filthy old generatorfaithfully simmering on, half-submerged in a vacated, muddy, construction light-lit excavation site,slowly waiting for the builders to return while rain starts pouring down. Quite evocative in adifferent way is “Malfunction” in which we hear the alarm of a fancy Enterprise class spaceship onthe verge of a warp core meltdown. Then suddenly somebody manages to either fix whatever waswrong with the core, or.. just muted the siren. The stifling tension of possible impending deathbecomes almost tangible during these last few minutes, not knowing whether it is the one thingor the other. Still in the end, ostensibly having dodged the bullet, we live. And to wrap up,“Moribund” brings us another lonely machine, but this time a snidy one inside a factory hall,concocting a megalomaniacal plan for world domination via Internet enslavement. It continues tosend out its addictive pulses into the ether, knowing that one day we will falter and it’ll be matrixtime... Quite a trip this one and only 50 copies available so you’d better are quick." (PJN, Vital Weekly #1070)
