Bernd Kistenmacher - Antimatter
Bernd Kistenmacher - Antimatter
Artist: Bernd Kistenmacher
P: 2011
This is the musical interpretation of the "Antimatter" thing by Bernd Kistenmacher.
His usual melodies are played in a more symphonic and more soundtrack feelling way.
„Antimatter” completes Bernd Kistenmacher’s „Trilogy of the Universe“. What started with “Celestial Movements” (a soundtrack for the stars) and continued with “Beyond The Deep” (a musical examination of the question of genesis) gave a certain direction: from huge to small and from the “here and now” to the roots of existence. The Big Bang in the laboratory is the musical theme of “Antimatter”. And it is not any laboratory but the LHC, the Large Hadron Collider. This “world's biggest machine” was built to answer the question of genesis. What happened a picosecond after the Big Bang? Can this moment be re-enacted in the laboratory? To understand it (at least a little bit) he was advised by Rolf Landua, physicist at CERN -  the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva. Protons are being accelerated to speed of light in two antidromic magnetrons and crossed at a destined point to make them collide. Energy becomes matter. They say: opposites attract. Often they destroy each other. Like as if matter and antimatter clash and erase in bright light.
Bernd Kistenmacher always takes human aspects into account in his compositions. How do we behave when we “collide”? Do we complement one another or do we simply exist to erase one another? “Antimatter” cannot give the answer but wants to show the energies which dominate human beings. We all originate from a creative act! Similarly, Bernd Kistenmacher artistically deals with the term “beauty”. What is “beautiful”? He states that even technical processes have a poetic, a beautiful aspect. So, “Antimatter” is not only the music adjusted to a physical experiment but is also the music to a virtual movie which shows nothing else but the beauty of the universe. Energy becomes music. Technical-electronical sound structures alternate with symphonic textures. The music gets more and more compact and powerful up to the moment of collision. The circle is complete. The album ends as it began. With a simple tone similar to a small source of energy. The universe has been created and we are watching the stars again. An eternal cycle?

Bernd Kistenmacher - Beyond the Deep
Bernd Kistenmacher - Beyond the Deep
Artist: Bernd Kistenmacher
P: 2010
"Beyond The Deep" is a musical fiction. A plea for the conservation of this unique and fragile world. Sometimes threatening. Sometimes phenomenal. And sometimes relaxing.
Who knows what kind of parties will be held at the "black smokers" or in "lost city"? To find out, we should not destroy and exploit. We should do research and take a closer look to understand. The seas and their inhabitants will be greatful...
On closer examination of the deep sea and the oceans, one is especially clear: we actually know very little about what is going on under the surface. Sure, we know how global mechanisms are working (do we really?). We know a (small) part of the species and slowly we begin to understand that the deep-sea habitats, how alien they may seem to us, are important for our own lifes.
However, this unlit and unfamiliar world is widely unexplored. In fact we know more about the stars that surround us, than about the world from which we all seem to originate. Sure, this does not prevent human beings from exploiting existing resources merciless. This does not only concern the overfishing of the oceans or the never-ending thirst for oil. We begin to exploit the seabed of our oceans without mercy. Even the worst environmental disasters do not hinder us to identify new and profitable sources - obviously ignoring any sustainability. A sea floor, for example the manganese nodules have been "combed" remains only scrap value afterwards. Only a second glance shows that there also, in many thousands of meters of the water, life is existing. At least before this “harvest” actions. Where the continental plates are pushed apart by magma flows, therefore, to the ocean ridges, there are so-called "black smokers". Hydrothermal vents, that spit a 400 degrees hot primordial soup. Since a few years, we know, that life is even here! Whole habitats of worms, snails and archaea.

Gert Emmens - Elektra 25th anniversary edition
Gert Emmens - Elektra 25th anniversary edition

Artist: Gert Emmens
P: 1999 / 2024
So the idea was actually: how would Elektra sound if I had played and recorded it now (2023 that is).
At some point I started to realize that in 2024 it would be 25 years ago since Elektra was released, which led to the idea of releasing this version as a 25th anniversary edition.
The original Elektra was never released on cd, but on cdr. So in a way you have the chance to have it on cd now. Hope you’ll enjoy it!!
"Elektra" opens with a cheesy vocoder voice, sounding like those evil robots from the eighties American sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica. However, it doesn't take long at all for the excellent music that follows to make you forget all about that. Gert Emmens provides exceptionally strong compositions with crisp melodies and pace. Though there is a heavy dose of cool retro analog sounds, they are used much differently than most recent electronic music. No long sequencer passages, no layers of hypnotic effects, even though the cover art showing rows of analog knobs and switches imply it.
Though technically a three-part, 54-minute track, "Elektra" is really made up of several smaller themes and ideas, seamlessly blended into a unified musical work. There are readily identifiable passages, some of them quite brief, others lasting a few minutes. Male vocal chants, reminiscent of Enigma, at the beginning of "Elektra part 2" quickly give way to light, bouncy synthesizers, which after a few minutes surrender to floating space music, with stabs of cheese saw waves popping in and out. At times, Emmens reminds me of Venja, who also blends eighties synthesizer melodic sensibilities into its music. The music is generally bright and upbeat, the kind to give you an emotional lift for the day, or to enjoy while driving in the country or along the coastline. Emmens somehow manages to achieve this without too much kitsch. If you like how Tangerine Dream blended melody and themes into its music of the early eighties, then you really owe it to yourself to check out this release.
This is a legendary work, where the composer proved his great imagination. He developed fresh, imaginative ideas, preferably aimed at Space Music. From the precise instant of the beginning of the album, we witness a display of creative, sonic energy of a high degree. Ethereal sounds, dramatic melodies and gliding sequences, envelop one by one all the themes of the album. The music flows in a stream of unearthly soundscapes, communicating a wide range of feelings and emotions. In a few words, this is one of the recordings that takes Space Music to its highest reaches.
