Black Rose Recordings are proud to present the exceptional new album by Asmus Tietchens. Corrosion is a degradation mechanism. It is an insidious process often difficult to recognise until deterioration is well advanced. Are these new pieces a comment on the current state of noise music, serious music or both ?
As a pioneer of electronic composition his work spans over three decades and doesn’t fit easily into any one category. Early recordings ranged from experiments with tape machines and electronic sound through to experimental pop. Later works were a more sculptural blend of abstract microelectronics, industrial sounds and musique concrete.
Never straightforward or obvious, always unpredictable and innovative his ground breaking music influences many working in today’s experimental music scene. He has worked almost exclusively as a solo artist but recent releases have seen him collaborate with well known and diverse artists such as Dieter Moebius (Cluster & Harmonia), Thomas Koener and Richard Chartier.
Pionnier de la musique électroacoustique, Asmus Tietchens produit depuis plus de 30 ans des musiques qui ne se classent pas facilement. Dans ce nouvel opus, il semble apporter un commentaire sur l’état actuel de cette musique (dans ou hors académie) en lui appliquant un principe de corrosion et il nous précise que “La corrosion est un mécanisme de dégradation. Il s’agit d’un processus insidieux souvent difficile à reconnaître et qui indique que la détérioration est déjà bien avancée.”
