Bersarin Quartett - Systeme - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Finally the 5th album of the imaginary German quartet - as always via Denovali. Although the title InchSystemeInch suggests a perhaps rather distant-cool album, it is the most personal and concentrated soundtrack so far created by Thomas Bücker from Münster in his InchE-Smog-PlaygroundInch studio. In 2008, the quartet still flirted with cyrillic-mysterious melancholy and red wine-swilling trakl melancholy. 15 years and four albums later, it seems almost cynical to simply continue at this point. Because late modernity delivers it's very own complex tragedies - in real time.This feeling of InchSomething's not right hereInch runs like a thread through the entire new album. While it still sounds popularly symphonic here and there, there are also many soundscapes that have an observing, almost unmasking effect. Microtonal shifts, polyrhythmic structures, tempo fluctuations and sound aesthetics torn out of context create a fragile, unpredictable foundation - as if Talk Talk, Tim Hecker and Skrillex were making music together and challenging our tolerance for ambiguity.Typical of the Bersarin Quartet sparks of optimism shimmer through everything. However, sitting back and enjoying doesn't really want to work - necessarily. Because that makes it exciting without freezing in escapism - fortunately.1. Gespenster 3 162. Exo 3 333. Licht 3 144.
