PRESS RELEASE
Stage is Steinbruchel's second full-length solo release on
LINE. The album contains 10 scenes that move between warm
organic and melodic digitalised sounds and cold
crystalline-like sparks. The sounds and compositions are even
more detailed and have a more melodic approach then previous
recordings by Steinbrⁿchel. Single isolated and stretched tones
are structured together with smaller loops and particles of
clicks and noises into dense atmospheres. Parts of the sounds
used in several scenes are based on piano recordings by Bernd
Schurer and/or guitar recordings by Tomas Korber. For the first
time Steinbruechel has used and processed recordings of
acoustical instruments to this extent in his compositions.
Stage brings to life once again a collection of precise and
carefully composed structures and textures, which are formed
into different scenes where they all interweave with each
other.
All the tracks were composed in 2005 for the interactive dance
performance HYBRIDOME, produced by Avventure in Elicoterro
Prodotti ¡ Ariella Vidach AiEP. The tracks on the CD release
are in a different order and are also structured differently
than the actual still unfinished dance performance.
Ralph Steinbruechel, born in 1969, studied Communication Design
at Central Saint Martins School in London, where he acquired a
Masters of Arts and Design with distinction. He now lives and
works as a musician and graphic designer in Zurich,
Switzerland. In 2002 his composition zwischen.raum [domizil]
was distinguished with the Max Brand Award for Electronic Music
[phonoTAKTIK.02 Festival, New York]. In the same year he
received a compositional scholarship from Pro Helvetia, Arts
Council of Switzerland, to work on his release circa [LINE,
US]. Last releases were the solo-CD skizzen [Binemusic,
Gremany], the collaboration status [12k, US] with Frank
Bretschneider (raster-noton) from Berlin and the composition
opaque [room40, Australia] together with five additional
reinterpretations.
