cymbals are probably the most complex part of a drum set. not only
do they serve as a rhythmic layer, they produce a whole range of
frequencies and sounds, from noise to indicated melodies.
carefully treated they expose a nearly orchestral microcosm of
their own.
these qualities have served as prominent elements in structuring
"cymbalism", the debut album of berlin's hanno leichtmann under
the moniker forest jackson. combining his work as a drummer [i.e.
with jan jelinek] and as electronic musician (static, vulva string
quartet), leichtmann comes up with a synthesis of both, the
beat-driven track and the exploration of sound.
the rhythmic framework, derived from real drums and generated
percussions, serves as an accessible basis, which allows enough
headroom for soundscapes, which easily could be references to
filmscores or a ride through berlin by night, accompagnied by
almost dark orchestral samples or dub-like motives.
an invisible map of urban sceneries, drawn by strings and beats,
guides the listener from the center of town to the suburbs and
back. the logic finale seems to be the pushing "cymbalism" remix
by rechenzentrum.
