Lehn/Schmickler - Navigation im Hypertext/Kölner Kranz

navigationThomas Lehn and Marcus Schmickler have been touring together since 2000. In "Navigaion im Hypertext", we can hear some of their best performances recorded in 15 concerts. Lehn, who has worked with Tom and Gerry, Konk Pack and e-rax, and Schmickler, who is known for Wabi Sabi and Param, here create a vivid combustion of sound. "Navigations im Hypertext" is a collection of obscure tones, flickering beats and silence combined to create a sound dimension of outer wolrdliness. The special Edition "Kölner Kranz" is two long tracks of intense, gravity defying electronic sound which aptly combine elements of the impulsive and the composed. It reveals more of itself on each playing and no doubt to each listener. Track one builds from nothing, as if a new creation is in progress through a black hole, the vacum taking more sounds and giving more power as it grows. Track two nicely develops through screams and chirps into a distressed sonic rainforest. A sense of destuction ensues through digital waves, winds and cracks. One listening, however, only provides a glimmer of this world provided by Lehn and Schmickler. It is intense and heavy, but very interesting and becons for another listen, and then maybe another, to find out what else is in there.
