Sound : KTL / Ultralyd
 |
KTL (US-AT/ Editions Mego) In certain circles Kindertotenlieder remembers of
Gustav Mahlers' orchestra songs, inspired by a poetry cycle by the
German Biedermeierpoet Friedrich Rückert. In a peculiar way these
songs are closely linked to KTL's dronemetal, KTL standing for Kindertotenlieder.
The soundtrack for a theater adaptation of Rückerts poems, brought
KTL's foremen, Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))))
en Peter Rehberg (Pita), for the first time together. The collaboration
lead to their generally applauded first album KTL (2006),
that was followed by KTL2 in 2007. On November 18 the duo
comes to Netwerk with their black cosmos full of noise, sonic mass
and dark drones - somewhere between black metal and radical elektronica. Ultralyd (NO/ Rune Grammofon) Norwegian post-avant rock band Ultralyd is Kjetil
Møster (The Core) on sax, Anders Hana (MoHa! Noxagt) on guitar,
Kjetil D. Brandsdal (Noxagt) on bass and Morten J. Olsen (MoHa! Netwerk
19/04/06) on drums and vibraphone. Ultralyd was formed by the
legendary free-jazz sax player Frode Gjerstad in 2004. Gjerstad left
after their second album Chromosome Gun (Load Records) to
be replaced by Møster. During two extensive
European tours and several studio sessions Ultralyd's direction has
slowly changed from a rather chaotic free rock approach towards composition
and more structured forms of improvisation, experimenting with different
layers and altered roles of the instruments, integrating elements
from contemporary and electronic music, funk and doom metal. Arranged
pitch improvisations and harsh grooves next to walls of rock, textures
stacked and multiplied. presale |
