| 1990 release ; early de stijl release from herr liebried loch, a berlin dweller dabbling in some of the more dusted / outsider-spirit-tinged voids i’m come across ... picture an even more estranged take on arthur russell’s solo cello/voice oeuvre, performed barely above a murmur, mixed with sub-audible creaks and groans sourced to field recordings and filtered-out mystery-layers ...
something of a neglected classic ; there’s no time like the present ... |

| the black vial
noise frequency pwm
027 lp
that liebfried loch has been making his found sound / voice / guitar / organ recordings more or less unnoticed since the late 70s is a real shocker. and he has played amongst and with the bigger names of a diy, velvets / barrett / drake inspired scene in and around berlin, with connections to 39 clocks, phantom payne, beauty contest, etc. but his method is decidedly more avant-garde than most.
loch has no patience for a melody, choosing to layer sounds unwittingly. that method has been used to some very tiresome results by a great many artists, but for whatever reason, is much kinder to herr loch. if you got ahold of his ‘95 debut "frozen morning" you were one of the lucky few probably to be taken with its freshness. that loch was pushing 60 was that much more enticing. these 2 lps are his first to enjoy a domestic release, and were done in editions of 300, bearing artwork by the artist and longtime collaborator, sabine faust. |
