_____________________________________________
KOMPAKT (GERMANY):
KLIMEK: Milk & Honey CD (KOMP 033CD). "Sebastian Meissner, living in
Frankfurt/Main, is a concept artist, composer, sound designer and
photographer and presents his newest musical oeuvre with Milk & Honey.
After very considered works for labels such as Mille Plateaux, Sub Rosa,
Beta Bodega or Cronica he installs his project Klimek on Kompakt, which
also has an optical correspondence from the acoustic expression published
as a multimedia performance. Meissner's works are mainly concerned with
'the coincidence in digital music compositions', which in case of his
Klimek projects are based on the most classic of all analog soundsources:
the guitar. These slow motion-like soundshapes unfold a feeling of
boundless width and contemplatively silence. The effect is not far from the
Kompakt pop ambient sound: pictures, references, associations appear in
front of our imaginary eye. With Milk & Honey they don't live on the memory
treasure called pop, but rather from the classical roadmovie or even the
best times of the Italian western. Meissner rather refers to the country
where milk and honey flows, which is reflected on the coverartwork and in
the Quicktime movie contained on the CD version. His photographs also form
the raw material for the multimedia installations. The least common
denominator of roadmovie and western is the desert; this album sounds as if
a lonely guitar -- scattered to the four winds -- escapes the ear. It is a
perfect soundtrack for a sultry night of thunderstorm, one of the nights we
may expect again next summer. Music for the romantic side of the climatic
disaster."
