about

This one was scheduled just 14 years ago.
I think this is not longer slowlyness. This is almost entropy.

Thank you, Mars, for your patience.

Licht-ung is not just the name of the label; it is also the musical project of Milan Sandbleistift. There is a bunch of very limited lathe cut records on his label, many of which are split records with other artists, such as in this case with the Dutch musician (ad)Vance(d), also known as Mars Wellink, one half of Vance Orchestra. This was to be released fourteen years ago but with some delay, now available. It has been a while since I last heard music from Wellink, but his 'Ubungspause' is a quick reminder of his well-known ambient style. Loops are carefully structured and layered and form a fine rotating pattern, once everything is in full play mode. This is the classic ambient-industrial approach of his solo project, which was also a presence in the work of Vance Orchestra. The repeating patterns of mechanical objects, with a dash of delay and other sound effects. It is a great piece, not too quiet, not too loud, perfect classic drone stuff. 'Lichtpause' by Licht-ung is an entirely different beast then. This is an exercise in feedback and noise, chaotic and distorted but strictly linear, almost as if this is a live-in-studio recording. Following the careful approach of (ad)Vance(d), this is quite the contrast. I am not sure if that was the idea behind this project, to do highly contrasting pieces of music, and I am not sure if it worked well, for me that is. I would think that supplements would have been better, even though I enjoyed both sides, with a slight preference for (ad)Vance(d).

licht-ung Leverkusen, Germany

Auf einmal waren sie da. Viele Schallplatten, weiße Cover, mal ein Foto, mal fast
nichts. Kryptische Minimalästhetik, keine Namen, keine Titel, aber wahnsinnige
Krach- und Klangexkursionen. Licht-ung: Lyrik,
Essays, Bilder, Fotos und… Musik. Punkkeinrock nennen sie das. Viele
Konzerte gab es noch nicht und die, die bisher stattfanden, waren alle anders.
Wir sind gespannt.-twisted knister ... more
