Dear all,
Dirk Dresselhaus (aka Schneider) has just finished the soundtrack for the feature film “66/67” (check out Farbfilm Verleih) by directors Ludwig & Glaser, which will be shown in European cinemas in 2009.
Besides the score, which consists mainly of guitar / drone and noise based improvisations, the soundtrack includes some Schneider TM & FM songs, hilarious oddities such as the 80’s L.A.-hair metal song ‘Hangin’ Around’, the Nina Simone like ‘Construction Site Blues’, some Dub, a re-recorded version of the Hip Young Things song ‘Torrid Souls’, some Indie / Wave / Kraut Rock material (which was partly written for the fictive band Magnetband) and tons of other stuff…
take care,
MWM

ANGEL – HEDONISM

in co-operation with Editions Mego (who will release the cd-digipak version, again designed by Stephen O`Malley), we proudly present Angel`s second studio album : Hedonism.

Despite only being released now ‘Hedonism’ is actually the first studio album by Dirk Dresselhaus and Ilpo Väsiänen as duo, a project which started in 1999. 5 years in the making and being started before Hildur Gudnadottir joined forces, ‘Hedonism’ is collision of urban and rural settings.
The opening five blistering tracks retain a full in sci-fi punk feel being made in Dirk’s Berlin studio. Tracks such as ‘Holding Loose’ and ‘Adrenaline Strike’ are brutal urban mantras bristling with energy. These are followed by electro-acoustic exercise manipulating various concrete sources, leading up to the final 2 pieces recorded at Ilpo’s lakeside
cottage in the wilds of northern Finland. Here fragile field recordings of insects, fish eating mosquitos, birds mesh with the duos shiny electronics to create the massive ‘Mirrorworld’. The closing ‘Hornet’ while stating a calm atmosphere has a somewhat startling surprise in store for the listener

take care,
