Tietchens, Asmus

Artist: Asmus Tietchens
P: 1981 / 2013
Asmus Tietchens is one of the best known German artists in the field of abstract music. His early works though are finest avant-garde synthesizer pop. "Biotop" was Tietchens' first release on the German label Sky Records (Cluster, Michael Rother etc.). It is inhabited by insectoid squeaks, banging percussion and echoes of displaced nursery rhymes. These blaring, crashing tracks glare with artifice, mirroring the ideas of an artist lacking the inclination and capacity to compose straightforward easy listening music. 

CD comes with booklet.

Electronic music pioneer Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia) wanted to record an album together with his musical soul-mates, Okko Bekker and Asmus Tietchens, at Conny Plank s studio in 1976. In the event, Plank himself even participated in the recordings as a musician. Two other musicians also joined the fold: bassist Helmut Hattler and saxophonist Johannes Pappert (both from Kraan) had just finished working on an album and were happy to stay on at the studio. Suddenly, there were six musicians with six different personalities who had never worked together before. But what could easily have gone wrong turned into a great document of electronic music, which was rather atypical for its time and conveyed a certain lightness, revealing complex structures on closer inspection.

With Asmus Tietchens and Dieter Moebius, two artists counting among the greats of German avant-garde electronic music have come together. Both have been active for well over thirty years: Moebius (since 1970) as a member of  Kluster/Cluster and Harmonia, as well as solo and in numerous collaborations (Brian Eno, Mani Neumeier, Conny Plank, Mayo Thompson and many more), and Tietchens (since 1979) almost exclusively as a solo artist, beginning in the fields of electronic music and musique concréte and later mainly in the realm of abstract music. "Moebius+Tietchens" is now their first collaboration in 32 years.

To provide an overview of the various musical styles in which Bureau B specializes, the label will launch a new compilation entitled KOLLEKTION. Each release in this series will be curated by a musician perfectly suited to the task. The first release will be "SKY RECORDS. Compiled by TIM GANE". The erstwhile Stereolab mastermind delves through the archives of the legendary German Krautrock label. Gane: "Sky was one of the labels that represented this more playful second period of innovative German music that first started in the late 60's and had developed in the late 70's into something rather different but, I think, no less groundbreaking."

Fellow humans, Bureau B invite you on an expedition to Silberland, a singular span of spacetime created by Germa – ny’s sonic futurists of the seventies and eighties. Embracing the early electronics and tape experiments of the six- ties’ avant-garde, these artists aimed to boldly go, eschewing small steps for giant leaps into a nebulous and novel soun
