Background/Info:
The
German project Signalstoerung is back on track unleashing its second full
length album. One year after the “S”-album “UU” is a concept album ‘based on
radioactive chemical elements; because of the extreme instability some of these
elements exist only for split seconds – nevertheless they release enormous
power during their short lifespan.’
Content:
The
subject of the concept has been transposed into a microscopic sonic fusion
between experimental- and bombastic rhythms, a wide canvas of noises and a kind
of evasive piano play. “UU” sounds like music coming from a wider dimension, a
sonic universe that still has to be discovered, but which also is the trademark
of experimental artists as Signalstoerung.

The experiment has something delicate; the operator became a kind of
sonic scientist creating noises. The result has a meaningful cinematic appeal
featuring multiple dreamy passages. But other parts are also more anguishing
and dominated by bombast, deep sound treatments and endless effects. The album
is an original and accessible experimental work.

Despite of the accessibility of this experimental work, it however
remains a production that will only appeal to a very restricted and experienced
audience.
Conclusion:
Signalstoerung
remains a particular experience in sound. I’m definitely not addicted, but yet
fascinated!
