about

»The title ›And IV (Inertia)‹ refers to a fictionalized successor of the Baksan Neutrino Telescope in the Caucasus region. At first, it has been an idea for a novel, based on the consideration that it is impossible to deal with the topic of a ›Lebensraum‹ like Berlin without being hit by stylization – so I had to experiment with strategies of fiction.«

With »And IV (Inertia)«, Grischa Lichtenberger presents his first full length record on raster-noton after his participation in the unun-series. For his musical production, he uses field recordings of his environment which are manipulated and broken down to their bare nakedness until only fragments are left. Apart from analogue sources, he also uses digital sound data which is likewise turned and twisted until the boundaries between analogue and digital are blurred.

The arrangement of these atomic elements results in a rather rough and brute, machine-like cut-up sound with an outstanding dynamic – almost none. It seems like that the 21 tracks only consist of a minimal set of elements, but which are rearranged in a virtuous manner and with a high degree of variation. Broken beats and dribbling basses allude to downbeat tunes, let one stumble because of their arhythmicity, to eventually take up the underlying groove again. Equally, there are fierce and harsh technoid elements. And towards the second part of the record, there is also room for new developments where more introverted and airy songs take over.

Lichtenberger’s musical production on »And IV (Inertia)« goes in line with his general artistic work, which also comprises other artistic genres such as installations and paintings. There is a mental attitude behind all this, and while the music sounds abstract, one may still identify his personal note. In this way, »And IV (Inertia)« is the extension of a concept he already started with his »~Treibgut« EP, "to define aspects of legitimation for an artistic work in engagement with the concreteness of one’s living situation."

This album feels like the soundtrack for an exploration of a jungle planet full of sentient plants and insectoid aliens. Objekt's use of reverb and negative space creates the sense that sounds are whizzing past you, speeding towards you, and being flung up into space. josh epps

Thanks Joshua for resuming this project. I was lucky enough to see TTA live in Austin (2004), and this is more than a fitting tribute, this is an evolution! I've also lost a partner, and I applaud your effort to forge on! noddy26
