About a decade ago, well before the "Sound of Cologne" reached
public acclaim, Carsten Schulz (C-Schulz) und Hans-Juergen Schunk
(Hajsch) formed the nucleus of a small scene which, altough based
in Cologne, was already operating on an international level. They
had teamed up with various musicians, artists and producers to
design a music that was more than mere experiment. In 1996, the duo
ceased their public performances, and have since limited their
activities to producing music - to them the most challenging way to
grapple with sounds. Their new album, which took C-Schulz & Hajsch
three years to make, is out now.
This album - which necessarily had to go untitled - represents a
new, complex music, realized through clearly structured
arrangements of microtonal material. It blends accoustic
instruments (tuba, harmonium, guitar and clarinet, among others)
with field recordings and concrete sounds. Still, the studio
remains the most important instrument. So that this quiet, gently
prodding music takes on surprising depth and dimensionality. Call
it Ambient, but it's far from the over-simplifications.
Turning their back on the scene's bustling activities, and
focussing on a reduced set of musical parameters, has given
C-Schulz & Hajsch the possiblitiy to take up and extend Cologne's
long-standing tradition of sound research. --c-schulz.org
