Jan Jelinek (aka Farben, Gramm), is perhaps the leading German
click-house/electronica artist and the most well-known producer within the
experimental electronic music scene. For his third album for Berlin based
~Scape Records, Jelinek decided to work with loops and layers, the outcome
of which really does sound "plasmatic" and ties in with the drifting sounds
of the early seventies -- not by way of recycling, but by reconstructing a
certain mood. This album is all about tranquility, submersion in sound, and
long-lasting tracks, drawing on the rationale of those variants of modern
music deliberately unconstrained by the song format: whether it be
minimalism, psychedelia or deep house -- all these aural forms of expression
circumvent any conventional sense of time. The "Pitch" referred to in the
album title exploits this premise of rising above time and refers back to
the arrangement idea of "wild pitch" deep house with tracks that are
resplendent with layers and intensity. By transforming this basic principle
of drifting into something audible -- his music, albeit blurred, has always
been transparent, hiding nothing. Jelinek forges a new connection: from
Conny Plank's studio, the master console of early '70s electronica, to
Detroit and back. Moreover, Kosmischer Pitch is the exact opposite of retro,
deliberately omitting references to a specific time or place for vibrations
that defy localization.
Jan Jelinek will take this principle to the stage: not as a laptop solo
artist, but together with guitarist Andrew Pekler (Sad Rockets, Bergheim 34)
and Hanno Leichtmann (Static, White Hole, VSQ) on drums.
This project will facilitate a convergence of digital arts, bridging the
global music community with the Boulder arts community. Communikey has been
networking with these artists since December 2005, recruiting this group to
perform in Boulder as a part of their exclusive tour in the United States,
along side New York, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland, OR, with
a finale performance at the international electronic music conference,
Mutek, in Montreal, Canada, recognizing Boulder as a hub for new and
experimental arts.
