may 2012 release ; ... fifth full-length from the “kindertotenlieder” duo of peter “pita” rehberg & sunn o)))’s stephen o’malley (their first in over three years) ...

... stemming from their last yearsworth’ of commissions from storied experimental-music institutions like the grm, ems stockholm, and centre d’art passerelle, the tone overall deviates heavily from the sturm & drang guitar-blast / digital-corrosion tactics of yore, getting much closer to a fully fleshed-out ensemble sound that’s light years beyond anything they’ve done thusfar, hinting at the chamber compositions of sunn o)))’s “monoliths & dimensions” and/or the historical electronic & concrète approaches of their creative geographies ... highly recommended !!!

mixed at twisted, wien, may 2011 - january 2012

well, that took longer than expected. finally the 5th ktl studio album is ready for release.

whereas their previous album iv was recorded and made in a relative short period in a more traditional rock environment, v turns full circle, takes its time and tackles the complex working processes of the european avant garde.

rooting themselves in such legendary electronic music studios such as ems in stockholm and grm in paris, o’malley and rehberg have delivered a rich set of sound experiments far removed from harsh metal / noise blizzards of their early albums.

they took a step further by inviting icelandic composer jóhann jóhannsson to orchestrate phill 2, resulting in a towering storm monumental classicism. finally, ‘last spring: a prequel’ turns the whole album on its head with abstract alien textures of the gisèle vienne installation of the same name., with text by dennis cooper spoken with devout intensity by long term vienne collaborator jonathan capdevielle.

with full colour artwork by mark fell, v is ktl’s most sophisticated work to date.

may 2007 release; the second batch of grelp from mssrs. rehberg (pita), o’malley (ginnungagap) composed to accompany a dennis cooper theater piece entitled “kindertotenlieder” (literally; “songs on the death of children”) - i’m actually feeling this selection a bit more than the first one - now that i know what to expect ... some nice moog/guitar drone bias buildup in spots, and as always pita’s trademark black-hot granular noise fizz...

emego 085
ktl ktl 2 cd

release date: 07.05.2007

total time: 73:03

stephen o'malley: strings, fx, amps, tube osc
peter rehberg: digital osc, apps, drives

written, recorded & mixed by stephen o’malley & peter rehberg at studio abattoir, angers & manoir kéroual, guilers, december 2006 - february 2007.
mastered at piethopraxis, köln, march 2007

cover by soma

devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed debut cd recorded in a former abattoir in angers, as well as a 16th century manor in the extreme west of france.taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of ‘theme’, the near psychedelic ‘abattoir’, and closing with the twisted romanticism of the closing ‘snow 2’. an upgrade both artistically and emotionaly.

as with the first cd elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece ‘kindertotenlieder’ by gisele vienne and dennis cooper, which was premiered in brest, france, march 2007.

october 2006 release; the debut album from the duo of peter “pita” rehberg and stephen o’malley. what does it sound like? guess... (...) yes, that’s pretty close actually. high-gain guitar-monolithery vs. hard-disck skribble.

there’s much common ground between the aesthetics of these two, nice to see them out for a play-date...

ktl cd

release date: 06.10.2006

total time: 77:49

stephen o'malley: strings, fx, amps
peter rehberg: oscs, apps, drives

written, recorded & mixed by stephen o'malley & peter rehberg at fort du murier & vienne wintergarden, grenoble july 2006.
mastered at piethopraxis, köln, august 2006

cover by soma

threatening new collaboration taking in parallel worlds of extreme computer music and black metal. ktl is stephen o'malley (sunno))), khanate) and peter rehberg (pita).

a six part collision amongst the increasingly fading prescences between the light and the dark. this work came about as the two were composing sound and music for a piece by gisèle vienne and dennis cooper, entitled 'kindertotenlieder'. it must be stated that this cd is not the soundtrack to said piece, but a separate project. however, elements may appear in the finished piece which is to be premiered in brest, france, march 2007.

pieces were recorded in a resistance fortress in southern france during a thunderstorm. others in a wintergarden drenched in the sunlight.
