German producer (and bassist for FSK) Michaela Melian
turned heads in 2005 on the release of her debut solo album
'Baden-Baden' thanks to its blend of sultry 4/4 beats and a
matchless sense of instrumental ambience, strange then
that for her sophomore album she has lost the beats altogether.
This time travelling half way across the world to reach the
sun-drenched city of angels, Melian has stripped down the
percussive excesses that previously defined her sound and has
come up with this beautiful selection of instrumental
experimentations.
Fusing the kind of deep electro-acoustic manipulations you would
more likely expect to hear on a To Rococo Rot record with expertly
drawn out drones and pads we end up with a simply beautiful work
with tracks ranging from the comical ('Convention') to the choral
(album highlight 'Angel') to the melancholy ('F÷hrenwald' but within
each track is a sense of femininity, something which is sadly almost
always missing from modern experimental music.
Sure comparisons will be made to similarly sexed Colleen, but where
Cecile Schott leaves her compositions almost unprocessed, Melian
manipulates her instrumental pieces into glorious celebrations of
electronic production. Lovely stuff.
