8 May, 2012 Orkester Kubiczek, Altes Wettbüro Dresden

More Information (german only):

Den Auftakt dieser neuen Veranstaltungsreihe im Alten Wettbüro gab es bereits im März diesen Jahres zu erleben. Das Zusammenspiel von akustischen Instrumenten und elektronischer Musik mit viel Freiraum zur Improvisation. Eine Vermischung beider Ebenen. Offenes Ende. Improvisation. Kommunikation. Fähigkeit. Jazz!?  Messing spiegelt genau diese Symbiose von Live Musik und Elektronik wider und ist zugleich der Start eines neuen Kapitels für die 4 Musiker und sowie Dresden’s Elektronik- Szene. Messing besteht aus den Musikern André Obermüller, Jan Bartholdt (beide bekannt als mKono) und den Elektroniktüftlern Kay Pischang aka Enzym und Veranstalter Stefan Senf aka Noize Creator.  Den Abend eröffnen werden jedoch die Herren von Orkester Kubiczek. Hinter dem im ersten Moment ungewöhnlich anmutendem Namen des erst im letzten Jahr ins Leben gerufenen Projektes verbergen sich die Dresdner Elektronik Produzenten Echology und Noize Creator. Auch wenn die musikalische Herkunft beider Acts nicht unterschiedlicher sein könnte, besteht eine direkte Verbindung und eine Zusammenarbeit war unabdingbar. Perfekt ausbalancierte Tonfolgen und chirugisch präzise Rhythmen treffen aufeinander. Keinesfalls Weltuntergangsmusik, dennoch Genreüberschreitend und die jeweiligen Grenzen ausreizend, werden beim Zusammenspiel beider Künstler neue orchestrale Welten erschlossen.

A grumbling 303 forms the backbone of “S51,” with trilling keys and pixelated synths crashing in ever-increasing waves. Unexpected is the voice that repeats “I’m sure you’ll find this amusing, but I’m afraid of the dark,” and so is the presence of such bright and optimistic melodies despite the devilish acid bubbles below. The surprises don’t end there, though, because who’d have thought C-Beams member Sandrow M’s mysterious and radiant deep house groove “The Three Tress” would sound so good with a fractured garage vocal somewhere up top? Not me, but that’s what Uncanny Valley do best—familiar things in unfamiliar ways.

“Amorphed Limits” shakes off the muddled vibes and digs into a far more determined groove, with dry, jacking house beats offset by just a hint of Latin shimmy. No matter how placid the chords, it’s still nasty as anything, with a raw, resonant bass line and even more bite in the drums. As always with Break SL, he keeps the rhythm loose, daubing off-beat accents on top of a swinging, slightly unstable groove. Finally, “Beercase Song” trots out a meandering spoken word over sprightly Rhodes chords and chattering drum machines for a jammy track that would make a fine accompaniment to the close of the night, when the music fades out against the clatter of empty bottles.

Little White Earbuds featured The Living Room Life off Credit 00′s recent EP in their March Charts. That’s what they think about it:
“One by one, the Dresden-based producers who were introduced to the world through Uncanny Valley’s various artists EPs are getting their chance to stretch out across EPs. Happily, the first impressions made by their one off tracks have generally proved to be quite indicative of the quality that’s followed. The latest is Alexander Dorn, better known as Credit 00, who offers a wonky, unpredictable takes on Midwestern techno and electro on The Living Room EP. Perhaps the most straightforward is the title track, in which Dorn’s sense of feng shui affords each element enough space to avoid overshadowing the rest. Its affable, main synth line could be a wheelie chair, feeling free to roam beyond its initial patterns — the blocky bass line acting as an ottoman which follows close behind. Meanwhile, the hi-hat blinds restlessly open and close and the high pitched toms pace the length of the room. The track’s pacing keeps its limited but versatile elements feeling fresh, sometimes leaning forward and others reclining to the beat of a well placed clap pattern. And when dropped at the right time, it give dancers a break from predictable 4/4 patterns without pushing them out of the groove.”
