An 8-track album that seems to carefully weave together memories of his mother, drifting and wandering between classical-contemporary, reggae & dub, minimalism, electronic music, and ambient sounds. Exquisite timing. The album’s closing track, B5 “Gnossine,” is an avant-garde jungle track that incorporates distorted recording material of his mother performing Satie’s “Gnossine.”
German electronic musician and genius F. K. Raeithel—a unique study in electronic rhythms and sounds created using a Buchler and a transistor mallet—was also an intriguing and excellent release, put out by the distinctive Hamburg-based artist on his own label, sozialistischerplattenbau.
