The ghost in Lena's machine has possessed it's share of echo
chambers and mixing boards -- it was there long ago during the
delirious sessions at The Ark, where Monsieur Perry would taunt
it's spirit with a fearless and life-affirming Caribbean
insouciance; it's been there when Adrian Sherwood would
unexpectedly lunge toward the console and let fly with a slide of
the volume fader; it's been a vital element in the steaming,
bubbly, concotions found in the Mad Professor's laboratory, and
more recently, it's inhabited the tiny slivers of runoff vinyl that
regroup and metamporhasize into Pole's macro/microcosmic
wallowings. Mathias Delplanque AKA Bidlo, Lena, DJ Jecho, Konstanz,
Paul Shade, has given in to the more radical side of his Bidlo
audio persona, emerging from some very haunted studio sessions as
Lena a sort of idiot savant twin to Bidlo -- more intuitive and
viscerally receptive to the dub ghost than Bidlo. The center of
Lena's universe of sound is a sonic black hole of infra-bass from
which sound particles manage to frenetically escape, spiraling off
into the cosmos in a frenetic rhythm, leaving trails of white light
and buzzing noises which soar past the listener. Lena's first
release, "Lane" was a denser affair, not unlike a jungle's
ecosystem. On this new record he pairs thing down to the sweet
minimalism and groovy melancholy of deep space, whilst remaining
ever mindful of the universal constant that African music taps
into. Suffice to say, it's complex, despite it's sonic immediacy.
Like Bidlo, Lena continues to play live, both as a solo performer
and improvising with other musicians. A recent show opening for
Adrian Sherwood found the ghost in his laptop enjoying the broad
daylight and haunting more than a few festival goers. Tap into the
spirit yourself, and if you like what you've heard, tell the
others. --quatermass.net
