Schnutzn
released on Archipel
"Germany's Sven Laux, who has already built up quite a solid discography for himself, brings his intricate talents to Archipel with "Schnutzn".
Beginning with "Koguto" we are taken on a slip and slide roller-coaster ride through ebbing and flowing rhythms which are dotted with well placed skittering scrapes and gentle burps of noise which tie into "Elumio" where the skittering continues, although enveloped in a delicate and luscious melody.
"Tiuh Tiuh" is deeper and more sparse and becomes very mesmerizing as it progresses while textures slowly and subtly shift around it's backbone rhythm.
"Forpahl" is lightly dusted with funk while retaining much depth and is patterned with glistening, digitized, insectoid chirps and whistles which leads us to the closing piece "Tokluu" which goes even deeper and becomes inescapably hypnotic where it is carefully and purposefully sprayed with ever changing, subtle, intricacies which slowly drip into one's mind."
Languish EP
released on spontanMusik
"The music of "Languish" by the Berlin based Sven Laux is a beautiful chunk of modern click-music. Each time it loops, it mutates, but all the while featuring pristine digital high frequency tones, jazz-bendings and waves of clicks and cuts in wide rooms of psychoacoustic delays. He introduces a large amount of natural recordings here, and various natural sounds can be heard throughout this amazing EP. Simply tender, peaceful, crusty and glitchy music."
"i'm not sure if you mean the film 'man on wire', or maybe something else? it's a super cool film though, there is a track with piano in the film that is nice and that you can find a new version of on kompakt pop ambient ('Gymnopedie #1' - Kilemek), which confused my mind for a while"-schwein
