Frank Bretschneider is definitely one of the vital producers in the
global electronic network. A key member of the prestigious
Raster-Noton collective (that includes the talented Carsten
Nicolai), he has critically acclaimed releases under the names
"Komet and Produkt". Bretschneider has created some of the most
influencial spacial electronics of the late 90's, unlike so much
output in the microscopic music scene, his music has always
flourished with activity. Precise sound placement, volume levels
and the contrast of tones in Bretschneider's production makes his
compositions uniquely captivating.
Bretschneider returns for his second full length release on Mille
Plateaux. Curve takes a different approach that accomplishes the
sensibilities of minimalist pop music. The unessentialist sounds of
Clicks & Cuts that have dominated Mille Plateaux are an intergral
part of Curve, however the evolution of this new genre continiues
with the eloquent construction of majestic complexities.
Bretschneider goes beyond the plug-in or plug research electronics.
He redefins the Clicks & Cuts genre by rendering the parameters
playable, reentering the musical domain with unprecedented ease.
Bretschneider discovers the complexity of the virtual:
microtonality, clicks, complex rhythm textures, melodic fragments.
A perfect musical body. Bretschneider succeeds again in progressing
the new age of laptop production and delivers a stunning exhibition
of sound. --www.force-inc.com
