about

Threat and security, nature and men respectively machine, individual and horde, overextension and relaxation are beeing confronted in VERTICAL.

Thomas Bieniek draws with his debutalbum VERTICAL the way to a dystopia where human are becoming machines. Music, which is a mixture between Fieldrecording, Drone and Ambient, is crawling threatening out of the speakers. A horizon containing fabrics, cars, machines and fragments of nature is beeing born and with it‘s apocalyptic feel it will transfer you to rigidity. The song Vertical conveys a two-day-cicle of repetitive work and restless sleep. Epilogue García is about the struggles of famous spanish poet Frederico García Lorca.

With fieldrecordings of Karlsruhe with its unlimited construction sites and Heidenheim with its bucolic areas mixed with moody synths VERTICAL has become an autobiographic renovation of the past 3 years of Thomas Bieniek. Recordings of human- or machine origin are sometimes digitally processed to use it as an instrument and sometimes pure to accent its origin. Additionally synths are manipulating the mood of the songs. A dark panorama has arisen comparable to dystopian cities of Metropolis or Bladerunner which seldomly sees sunlight just to appreciate darkness once more.

VERTICAL exhaust its potential from a variety of complex themes by proportion its conctrasts. Threat and security, nature and men, individual and horde, overextension and relaxation are physically noticeable.
