Martin Haidinger caused a bit of a stir with his first album as
Gimmik, Slow Motion Process, placing his music firmly alongside
that of Boards Of Canada and Isan as he privileged beautiful
melodies and luscious sonic landscapes. After a releasing a series
of EPs and an album as Abfahrt Hinwill, all released on
London-based Toytronic, Martin Haidinger finally revives his
original project for a full-length release, and he has lost none
of his visionary touch.
Hailing from Austria, Martin Haidinger produced with Slow Motion
Process one of the most engaging records of 2001. Displaying
luscious melodies swathed in warm analogue waves and disarmingly
simple beat structures, the album placed Gimmik at the more
accessible end of the electronic range. With a handful of EPs
released on Toytronic under his belt, he started a collaboration
with Chris Cunningham (nothing to do with the visual artist of the
same name) as Abfahrt Hinwill. With this new project, Haidinger
and Cunningham embarked on a journey through early electronica,
with a distinct Artificial Intelligence flavour, eventually
collecting a series of EPs on the Links Berge Recht Seen album.
HaidingerÆs second album under his Gimmik incarnation follows on a
similar path. Entitled Back To Basics, it very much describes the
manÆs approach as he carves sumptuous melodies on beautiful
soundscapes. Tracks such as Un Jour, Le Ciel or Syntax build
superbly on the legacy of Slow Motion Process, and when Haidinger
investigate more introvert terrains, as on LÆAppel Des Cors, From
A-5310 To TW2 7Q7 or 7th Of May, the simplicity of his melodies is
revealed even more clearly. Yet, he also injects some rawer
elements on this album. The opening track, LetÆs Play Cricket
shows Gimmik as he ventures in more playful territories, adding
digital abrasion to him warm sonic waves. Later on, on Square Two,
he confronts his blend of analogue and digital processing with
discreet microbeats, but it is on the impressive Booga that Gimmik
causes the most disturbances on his environment. The bastard child
of Boards Of Canada and Aphex Twin, this track combines textbook
drill and heavenly melodic cuts. As unlikely as this could sound,
it actually proves to be a phenomenally fun composition and is
definitely one of the highlights of this album. Back To Basics
comes to a close with the superb cinematic title track, which
shows Gimmik at his most melodic.
If Back To Basics doesnÆt unleash new musical grounds, it however
takes some liberties with a variety of existing genres and defines
some interesting areas of experimentation. Not only Martin
Haidinger revives his original sonic landscapes, but he actually
takes them to a new level, reaffirming his place on the electronic
scene with confidence.
