about

From a contemporary point of view, Atom™’s “Liedgut” may be considered a romantic work. While researching his own past, Atom™ found himself in the Austro-German time, space, thinking and feeling. Between Nietzsche, Helmholtz, Schubert and many other guidelines, Atom™ absorbed a universe striving for clarity and simplicity, where science and irrationality, ornament and mathematic purity were the key elements of a (still) oscillating social and mental order. “Liedgut” therefore oscillates between those poles: scientific exercises on Schubert chord progressions, digital waltzes and romantic lyrics. This research consistently lead him to the post-romantic works of Oskar Sala, Kraftwerk and others, who could be seen as direct heirs of the romantic movement. Upon completition of the album Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk contributed a spoken epilogue, commenting the leitmotiv of “Liedgut” in the track called “Weißes Rauschen” (“White Noise”). For Atom™ the phenomenon of “white noise” perfectly served as an analogue expression of the romantic dualism: scientifically defined on the one hand, it is described in a poetic manner, seeking for a more profound meaning on the other. “Wellen und Felder” (“waves and fields”), which directly connects to “Weißes Rauschen”, similarly refers to both scientific models and philosophic/poetic ideas. Consequently Atom™’s research does not stop here thus managing to convey “Liedgut” into the present. Both form and content appear to be explicitly new and contemporary, yet “ex-temporary” at the same time.
