Very ambient, very convenient, but not at all a convenience - You can opt to stream it in the background or to listen attentively and discover secret worlds.
Favorite track: Number Of The Mind.

about
Markus Reuter has become known for the brainy, brooding and atmospheric ambient music he creates using a touch guitar, a metal stringed guitar-like instrument designed for two-handed playing and extended sound generation. His musicianship moves beyond the virtuosic with the addition of several layers of echo, reverb, pitch shifting, long and short delay lines and other forms of digital processing. On Trepanation (79'33"), Reuter asks the often missed yet most basic question: What kind of music can be made using this gear? The result is a confluence of processes, intuition and innovation. Perhaps his recent re-imagining of loop music comes by way of collaborations with the likes of Bernhard Wostheinrich and Ian Boddy. Their works with Reuter are more about improvisation and turning sound inside out than floating textures and breathing washes of sound - as on Reuter's earlier releases. On this album, Reuter creates a truly unique dream-like mood. The 8 tracks are reminiscent of the sleeping mind as they wander unconsciously from theme to theme in a free association of half-thoughts, lost memories and forgotten places. Each composition eventually settles into its own odd ambient area. Characterized by the reiteration of extended phrases and weighted by unpredictable shifts in timbre, Reuter's work is in some ways minimalistic. But the primary force shaping Trepanation is Reuter's bold creativity and technical skill as he effectively combines the ethereal with the surreal.

WOW! This is excellent stuff! Is it Jazz, is it Prog, is it something else? Just don't care, this is groovy and f***ing complex at the same time. Foot tapping and headbanging in weird signatures.

OWARI
by Stick Men featuring Gary Husbandsupported by 104 fans who also own “Trepanation”
About 1/3 thru it so far, and already i agree that this is an important performance to release to the public. “Cusp” and “Larks 2” are worth the price of admission alone. (Frustrated to learn of this October release in December, but i guess that just means i need to pay more attention to social media...?)
