| Tragically beautiful music "my (musical) world is a little bit |
| dark... a little bit off-center. i think of it as tragically |
| beautiful. that is how i would describe what i love best: |
| tragically beautiful." (angelo badalamenti) there are 8 new |
| titles on stefan schwander's latest album "the blackout quintet", |
| all composed by the techno dandy himself. |
| |
| this is schwander's fourth album (not including the 12" cd |
| compilation "me, the disco machine") under the alias antonelli. |
| the music on "the blackout quintet" is best described not just as |
| haunting but as positively ghostly. it is set in the hours of |
| transition between day and night, in that shadowy no man's land |
| from dusk to darkness or darkness to dawn. |
| |
| this emphasis on time and time passing is reflected not just in |
| the music but in the titles of the tracks themselves: after the |
| night, the morning, the quiet night, gespenster (ghosts). and to |
| project day and night metaphor onto the techno or club context, |
| the music could be said to belong somewhere between dancefloor |
| and after-hours, or even to that private zone after after-hours |
| when the party is over and you're floating gently back to |
| reality. antonelli's dreamy melodies create feelings of abandon |
| and paranoia at the same time. in two pieces (topaz, the wave), |
| the intensity of the music is generated by a synphonic, |
| feedback-like wall of sound, which builds up in layer upon |
| insistent layer. other tracks on "the blackout quintet" (e.g. |
| after the night) recall the music of angelo badalamenti, the film |
| composer beloved of david lynch (twin peaks, mullholland drive) |
| who is also celebrated for his pop music (including songs for the |
| pet shop boys). more than anything in fact, "the blackout |
| quintet" does beg to be described as film music, despite there |
| being no film to go with it, nothing to give the music a concrete |
| visual structure and nothing to subordinate it to or put it on a |
| level with images and events. indeed, "the blackout quintet" is |
| intentionally self-sufficient, and as a result achieves that |
| freedom and breadth which enables music to put its listeners into |
| a state of semi-delirium, allowing them, if they are lucky |
| enough, to catch a glimpse of a ghost or two. |
| |
| stefan schwander is one of the most versatile producers and live |
| performers on the international electronic scene. his projects, |
| including "rhythm_maker"(techno), repeat orchestra (house), a |
| rocket in dub (dub) and the bad examples (exotica) have enjoyed |
| releases on various labels, and his techno venture pop up with |
| joerg burger (the modernist) has attracted much positive |
| attention. he is currently working, under the alias of |
| swimmingpool, on a new album with michael scheibenreiter |
| (phoneheads). |
| |
| antonelli is his main project though, and schwander has spent a |
| lot of time over the last few years taking it live to cities as |
| far afield as tokyo, barcelona, madrid, paris, london and |
| copenhagen. he plays a rocking, euphoria- inducing techno set as |
| antonelli, and his numerous 12s have provided us with one club |
| hit after another (automatic music, the vogue feat. miss kittin, |
| kung fu...). he is also very active on the remix front, and has |
| cooperated with michael mayer, freestyle man, farben, lawrence, |
| steve bug, ego express, elektro musik department, oliver hacke, |
| error error, mondo grosso to name but a few. the vinyl version of |
| "the blackout quintet" contains a bonus 12" with remixes from |
| lawrence (dial/mute), error error (italic) and oliver hacke |
