Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"I can never work out whether it's better to cut the chase with reviews or write a lengthy preamble. Some albums need the have a scene set. They need to let you know what you are getting yourself into, or the reason why there was a lengthy gap between releases. But is this really necessary? Do you care? Is all you are really interested in whether or not the album good or not? Possibly. So, for once, let me cut to the chase and give you what you want before I start to wax lyrically about why. Torsten Papenheim's latest album Hellerau is brilliant. Plain and simple.

There is something deep in its DNA that just works and is a joy to listen to. It isn't the most abrasive album. Nor the most abstract. Nor is it the most complex, but there is something about the sparseness of the playing, bockety time signatures and tones Papenheim gets that is captivating from start to finish. 'Nachtprogramm I' is filled with driving basslines, sonorous horns, and lopsided percussion. It is both structured and all over the shop at the same time. This juxtaposition works incredibly well. It gives you something to both latch onto and be confused by. As it progresses lopsided melodies present themselves, before collapsing under their own giddy movements. Like a toddler who has run around in circles too much and now is exhausted and dizzy. 'Syntax A' is an utter delight. All the way through it sounds like there is a ship in the distance, eclipsed by fog, that is making its way towards the harbour. It blasts his horn every few seconds to warn of its approach. At times other ships use their horns to show their position to it. It sets out its premise early on and sticks with it. This is effectively what happened for nine-minutes, but the song is far greater than these terse sentences. It is about movement, or lack of at times, and how this creates a vibrant dynamic. Or it is just a series of long horn blasts. Either way, it just works.

While listening to Hellerau I am transported into a Jim Jarmusch film that doesn't exist. In my head, I'm seeing pictures of people walking the desolate back streets of a busy metropolis. Going into dive bars to use the toilet and meeting characters that fuel the next stage of their saga. Taxi drivers picking up transients for free and endless cups of coffee being consumed while on a stakeout. It's all there in the wonky melodies and ad-hoc rhythms. I said it was brilliant."-NR, Vital Weekly


Artist Biographies

"The music of Berlin-based composer and guitarist Torsten Papenheim (*1980) is located somewhere between melody and noise - to be taken either as a combination or a counterpoint. His music can be heard on several records and during the recent years he played numerous concerts in Germany and all over Europe. As a performing musician Torsten Papenheim is active as soloist, with guitar-drums-duo rant and his quartet Tru Cargo Service. Besides that he has recently established two new groups: Karm (with Prague-based reeds player Michal Wróblewski) and a Duke-Ellington-project together with Daniel Kartmann, percussionist from Stuttgart. In his compositions Papenheim often works with unusual tunings and deliberately uses ambiguities to enable improvisational freedom in the interpretation of his works. From 2004 to 2016 he was running the CD label schraum."

"Axel Haller (*1969) is a berlin based musician, who works mainly in the fields of improvised and experimental music. as a bass player he is exploring the sonic potential of the electric bass and has developed a very individual approach towards his instrument, including a unique bowing technique and working with several kinds of preparations and feedback drones.

he also incorporates found objects in his playing, usually without amplifying them, working with their own sounds, amplified only by the room itself. these objects might be made of wood, metal, plastic, glass and especially paper or cardboard, varying in size and structure.

current projects include inien (with johannes tröndle - cello), trio vopá (with roland spieth - trumpet & cornelius veit - guitar), attacca (with matthias müller - trombone & dave bennett - guitar) as well as the label schraum."
