Composed By, Performer [Treatments] - Asmus Tietchens
Performer [Feedback Source Sounds] - David Lee Myers (aka Arcane
Device)
"Calling himself Arcane Device after his recorded experiments
became popular enough to warrant a name, David Myers' exploration
into manipulated feedback resulted in several album and
cassette-only releases beginning in 1987 and ending in 1994, when
he felt the experiment had run its course.
Myers came of age during the era of the Beatles and formed a rock
group like hundreds of other teenagers during that time. However,
Myers found himself drawn more toward the feedback possibilities
of rock music and the various effects boxes associated with
electronic music (in the purest sense of the term). After later
being influenced by Robert Fripp's Frippertronics and Brian Eno's
ambient music, he eventually came round to building a system that
would produce feedback to be manipulated by numerous dials, knobs,
and buttons, all Frankensteined together from various effects
boxes and reshaped. The results sound nothing like feedback as we
have come to know it -- depending on Myers' treatments, the sounds
produced feel like synthesizers, rhythm boxes, industrial noise,
and ambient drones.
In 1987, Myers sent a tape of his first experiments to Chris
Cutler, former member of Henry Cow and numerous other music
projects, and head of Recommended Records, who then put out the
tape as 1988's Engines of Myth. Myers spent the next seven years
bouncing from obscure label to obscure label, though Staalplaat
now takes care of the CD reissues as does Myers' own homegrown
label Pulsewidth. AD's sound evolved and shifted, from
near-unbearable noise (1992's Diabolis Ex Machina) to ambient
(1994's Envoi in Cumin), though never in a linear fashion. Myers
did not keep his Arcane Device projects studio-bound -- the
unpredictable nature of the electronics in his setup led to
several live appearances and improvisations. Myers' also
collaborated with other experimental artists, including PGR on
1990's Fetish (more a shared CD than a collaboration) and Asmus
Tietchens (1993's DBL_FDBK and 1996's Speiseleitung). In 1994
Myers took a break from recording, but returned in 1998 with
several new projects under his own name."
Ted Mills, All Music Guide
"Synthesizer experimentalist and musique concre`te producer Asmus
Tietchens began recording in the mid-'60s and continued to record
three decades after that. Born in 1947 and based in Hamburg,
Tietchens listened to German radio as a child and heard pioneering
electric transmissions by the likes of Stockhausen and Gottfried
Michael Koenig. He began recording his own home experiments in
1965 with crude reverb devices and picked up a MiniMoog several
years later. Also influenced by atonal Kraut-rockers like Cluster
and Faust, Tietchens met Okko Bekker and began a partnership that
lasted for decades (Bekker has produced most of Tietchens' work).
After Tangerine Dream's Peter Baumann heard a tape of his work, he
produced Tietchens' debut album Nachtstⁿcke, released in 1980 on
Sky Records. His four albums for Sky during the early '80s focused
on surprisingly accessible electronic pop, though 1984's Formen
Letzter Hausmusik (recorded for Nurse with Wound's United Dairies
label) began a period of more abstract, concre`te recordings that
often use tape experiments as well as synthesizers. During the
'90s, Tietchens recorded for experimental labels Barooni,
Staalplaat and Syrenia, the latter a 1996 collaboration with Vidna
Obmana. Since 1990, he has also taught sound at a Hamburg
university."
