Just in time for new year's eve, it's Moinlabs' great pleasure
to announce yet another album release:
Weird Specialist contains
material by Straschill from the timespan of early 2004 (just after the release
of the last solo album Neinnein auf dem kleinen Weg) up
to the present day. Just like on preceding albums, the material consists solely
of freely improvised music using live looping
technology.
As this is
album is a set of material created independently of each other from a time span
of close to four years, sometimes even stemming from different sources - in
addition the studio tracks, we find two live tracks from the Y2K6 International Live Looping Festival
and an outtrack from a kybermusik session - the approach
seems just like that of a "compilation" album. It is obviously due to
the skill of the editing "Weird Specialist" that this manifold of building
blocks (the title track alone consists of ten individual recordings) form a
homogenous, if slightly whimsical whole.
As with the
last release, this album is available as a free download from www.jamendo.com
- donations will nevertheless be gladly accepted, as well as any comments and
online reviews. And those people who actually buy a real CD will no doubt be
enchanted by the cover art, which has - as with the SAUBER! album - been done by Anna
Bejenke.
And with that, I'd like to wish you a perfect start into the
new year with that music,
your weird specialist,
Rainer
