Artist: WellenVorm P: 2016 The volcano awakes, the apocalypse begins. A tremendous compression wave starts is distructive way. Thousands of trees are being defoliated, limbs and branches break. Huge, up to thirty meters high, trunks bend over like matches. Ingenous ash clouds roll into the valley, billions of small pumices stone lumps rain down on the landscape. At the most concerned areas this material mounts up 90 meters above the just living forest. This happened 291 billins years ago. After the eruption silicic acid seeped in the buried trunks, which transform into stone in the course of cosmic periods. This is not a fictional story. The location of this primeval inferno today is my hometown Chemnitz in Sachsen, Germany. Numerous evidence of the events have been dug out and form the „Petrified Forest“, a worldwide famous and marvelled natural monument. I am floating in the center of events and gaze into the chimney of the fuming volcano, I am feeling the drone of the earth, the compression wave, the lethal ash cloud and the silence thereafter. In my fantasy I am walking through a forest of crystallized trunks. I owe the inspiration to this concept album to my friend, the famous designer and author Jochen Voigt, who lured me on the trace of the Petrified Forest and who designed not least the artwork for my album. An idea was born – now the result can be shown. In two years of work the new album „Petrified Forest“ arose, my anthem to the lithic wonder of the world of Chemnitz.
Uwe Rottluff aka Wellenvorm, November 2016
Artist: WellenVorm P: 2014 Toene des Nebels is the debut album of the Chemnitz-based musician Uwe Rottluff aka WellenVorm. The one who gathers a washy ambient electronic piece of art from the album title is wide of the mark. This album is great, pure classic electronic music. And this on highest level. You punctiliously hear the analogue switches and components, as WellenVorm abstains from using virtual sound productions and only uses the digital world for tasting the ensemble. This combination does not only sound deliciously but has its own style. Toene des Nebels owns a dark appearing atmosphere which perfectly fits into dark and foggy seasons. WelleVorm does not drown his music. The necessary variety can rather be found in the well selected and delicately appearing sounds, which exert its agility and force. Own musical themes are seized skillfully throughout the album and transform them into other combinations. Toene des Nebels is a strong electronic album which never denies its origin. Why should it? WellenVorm easily puts his own, distinctive handwriting on the musical event. Finally a fairly worthy newcomer.
