Beschreibung
Fractal Hair Geometry is Richter's most refined
and original work to date, picking up where the electrifying drone works of his
monumental Double-LP left off. Like the last records this album is centered
around recordings of a variety of vintage organs. While Wir können
leider... often featured pure harmonium sounds and spacious recordings of
chuch organ and mellotron, the new album opts for a more electronic,
effects-laden sound, sending an old Farfisa Compact Deluxe and Casio SK-5
through an armada of analogue & digital effects pedals. The results are
massive one-chord drones layered into dense & ecstatic, flickering &
pulsating clusters of psychedelic electronic sound. Additional wordless vocal
effects, hyperventilating & sizzling drum machines and hypnotic violin and
guitar noises make for a hyperactive sound that never stands still even though
most of the music is pure drones (sometimes consisting of more than 50 recording
layers). Decidedly simple but gorgeous melodies shine through the mist from time
to time, making a Black To Comm record always much more
accessible than your average drone album.
