cumslegborenail Imagine driving into a shopping centre blasting this tucker fucker boom bap rust guts! You combine some real woodwinds with a wall of modular and you is grandmother's antique. Favorite track: sinus lfo graindrloop phrasiert.

Finn of Tomland Since i like the sound of Mr. Lichtenberger a lot it is a joy to hear were he started so to speak when his 1st release gets a reissue on lovely Raster.
And from what i have heard from the snippets it's filled to the brim with experimental distorted glitch and abstract beats so what's not to like.
A must have release.

about

Originally released in 2005 on his brother's online label Tokyo Trauma, »Die Wiederholung der Geschichte der amerikanischen Heimatlosigkeit« is Grischa Lichtenberger's debut release, predating his involvement with raster. Anticipating and framing his later works, the visceral sound palette, ranging between harsh digital noise and compelling analogue roughness, is put to play in a very unconcerned and uncompromising way on this release, in harmony with an idiosyncratic beat science and an organic, natural feel of song structure and melodies.

The influence of independent rock music of the 90s, as well as an artistic experimental approach center this record, as his brother David Lichtenberger put it in his description of the record: "Very arty stuff, but first of all characterized by an incredibly direct and heavy sound oscillating between punching beats and digital harsh noise making your ears bleed and you (me at least) scream for more."

Conceptionally, »Die Wiederholung der Geschichte der amerikanischen Heimatlosigkeit« (the repetition of the history of American rootlessness) parallelizes the history of European and American relations with the dialectics between digital and analogue technologies. Experimental methods of electronic music are put in a metaphoric relation with a historical topic, like in »Durchquerung 3« scrubbing a wave form of an audio file that is put in a relation to the crossing of the Death Valley by early American settlers. Using the compressor as an expressionistic tool of composition, overshooting the 0db barrier creating noisy artefacts, time stretching, collaging all work as tools for regenerating material, create a relation to an acoustical subconsciousness of recorded sounds (similar to the optical unconsciousness of slow motion and montage that Walter Benjamin described in his first analyses of cinema in the 1920s).

raster is pleased to reissue this early work of Grischa Lichtenberger, remastered and for the first time in physical format.

I so hope that all 5 of these 10" will sound just as great as this one because then i have some lovely shopping to look oh so forward to. Mr. Ripatti is from my point of view a master at experimenting with both sound and rhythm and some might say that he needs to clean up his act but i so don't think that's for him nor us that like this kind of music that sounds as if it's eroding on itself. A must have release. Finn of Tomland

something I can deeply relate to. anxiety, confusion, dreams, and from time to time, loss of the sense of reality. this is what everyday life sounds like in my head. been listening to it on repeat 24/7, thus the album has quickly grown very intimate for me. thanks Ripatti <3 miko yli-lankoski
