Black To Comm Is The Solo Venture Of Dekorder Label Boss Marc
Richter. Having Released Two And A Half Albums On His Own
Label He Is Slowly Establishing Himself As One Of The More
Prolific Drone Artists Out There With A Forthcoming Album On
The American Digitalis Label, A Collaborative Cd With
Datashock On Ikuisuus, A 7" On The Irish Trensmat Label And A
Collaboration With Xela In The Works
"Fractal Hair Geometryô Is Richter's Most Refined And Original
Work To Date, Picking Up Where The Electrifying Drone Works Of
His Monumental Double-Lp Left Off. Like The Last Records This
Album Is Centered Around Recordings Of A Variety Of Vintage
Organs. While "Wir K╓Nnen Leider..." Often Featured Pure
Harmonium Sounds And Spacious Recordings Of Chuch Organ And
Mellotron, The New Album Opts For A More Electronic,
Effects-Laden Sound, Sending An Old Farfisa Compact Deluxe And
Casio Sk-5 Through An Armada Of Analogue & Digital Effects
Pedals. The Results Are Massive One-Chord Drones Layered Into
Dense & Ecstatic, Flickering & Pulsating Clusters Of
Psychedelic Electronic Sound. Additional Wordless Vocal
Effects, Hyperventilating & Sizzling Drum Machines And
Hypnotic Violin And Guitar Noises Make For A Hyperactive Sound
That Never Stands Still Even Though Most Of The Music Is Pure
Drones (Sometimes Consisting Of More Than 50 Recording
Layers). Decidedly Simple But Gorgeous Melodies Shine Through
The Mist From Time To Time, Making A Black To Comm Record
Always Much More Accessible Than Your Average Drone Album.
There's Even A Heavy 4/4 Bass Drum Smuggled Into A Track
Dedicated To The Late Leigh Bowery, One Of The Most Enigmatic
Creative Figures Of The Mid-80'S Uk Club Scene (And Singer Of
Minty).
Guests Include Jonna Karanka (Aka Kuupuu) On Piano, Guido
M╓Bius On Trumpet And Current Black To Comm (Live) Band
Members Renate Nikolaus On Violin And Ulf Sch▄Tte (Of
Datashock, Aosuke, Etc.) Adding Electronic Sounds.
Along The Lines Of The Music, Seminal German Artist Oliver
Ross Has Created A Massive Multi-Layered Neon-Coloured Collage
Artwork Which Is Printed On Special Ultra-Heavy Cardboard
Stock.
