r -n 82 frank bretschneider. rhythm - Raster-Noton

-n 82 frank bretschneider. rhythm
rhythm is neither pop nor avant-garde, but deals simply with the basic principles of any
modern music: rhythm.
frank bretschneider takes his, never simple, but all the more heartfelt relationship
to rhythm and it’s complexity, to an intense inventory and, this time, works less out
of suspenseful abstract sounds, than out of grooves. the terseness and precision
of previous works remains, as well as a preference for high-voltage sounds halfway
between noise and tone. new is the assemblage of the material. a combination of
programming, composition and construction, which draws a clear distinction to his
preferred loop-based work on foregone albums, is connected with bretschneider’s
very idiosyncratic aesthetic of digital sound: controlled and objective. the whole follows
simple mechanical states: on/off, forward/backward, up/down, slow/fast, loud/quiet,
dull/brilliant, soft/hard and is characterized by the absence of any romanticism. still this
return to the elementary, the fundamental, does not diminish the music to dance-floor
functionality, instead bretschneider always stays emphatically musical and manages to
generate sophisticated and complex rhythm-structures, which respectively induce minimal
deviations in frequency and timing relationships to generate a surplus of funk.
in all, rhythm is probably bretschneider’s most direct, clear and concentrated work yet.
frank bretschneider works as a musician and composer in berlin. since 1996 he has
published a number of albums for raster-noton, mille plateaux and 12k. the music for
rhythm was created between june 2006 and march 2007.
