Bach Eingeschaltet - Zweiter Band

Nature Morte · 2009

Picking up where its predecessor left off, this second volume deepens Nature Morte's project of processing J.S. Bach through layers of degradation and electronic dissolution. The source material — recognizable fragments of Baroque counterpoint — is buried under static, room tone, and slow tonal decay until melody becomes texture and structure becomes drift. There's a productive tension between the mathematical precision of Bach's original architecture and the entropy applied to it. The familiar shapes of Bach keep showing through the damage, which makes the decay harder to ignore.
