RELEASE DATE
11/3/2017
Esteemed for their improvisational audacity, hurtling forwards to a motorik beat, there is another side to the Berlin "Krautrock Guerilla" trio
Camera
which sees them explore landscapes of sound. This is exactly what the two founder members
Franz Bargmann
(guitar) and
Timm Brockmann
(keyboards) present their purely instrumental debut album
Licht
. Harmonic and melancholic, tender and tough, planar and rhythmic -- yet never dull. In 2013, Franz Bargmann left Camera to join
La Düsseldorf
drummer
Hans Lampe
as the live band for
Michael Rother
(
NEU!
,
Harmonia
). A year after Bargmann's departure, Brockmann also quit, in his case to devote himself primarily to studio work. This led him first to
Boris Wilsdorf
, engineer and "in-house" producer for
Einstürzenden Neubauten
since the year 2000. Brockmann later took on the role of personal engineer for the
Tiger Lillies
. When Timm Brockmann and Franz Bargmann were ready to record the
Licht
album, they turned to Tiger Lillies singer
Martyn Jacques
, who set them up in his studio. The album documents an intense journey of exploration into sound, with improvisation as its compass. Stylistic barriers pale into insignificance for
Brockmann // Bargmann
. Their sound is warm and compact, channeled through analog synthesizers, pianos, and guitars. Occasionally an open room microphone draws the listener right into the recording studio. Brockmann // Bargmann display the utmost respect for their musical antecedents or pioneering predecessors and do so in the most diverting fashion.
Cluster
are often alluded to in reverential terms, whilst a hint of
Jean- Michel Jarre
shines through at certain moments. Sometimes Brockmann // Bargmann align themselves with contemporaries such as
Ulrich Schnauss
or
Rival Consoles
, elsewhere they revert to the ferocity of Camera. The time they spent in the studio allowed plenty of scope for experimentation: material already recorded was rearranged, layered vertically or side-by-side. Random occurrences and transformation processes were embraced, as exemplified by the track "Prisma". Whilst a drum computer comes into play here and there, drummer
Achim Färber
(
Automat
,
Project Pitchfork
) was invited to bring his rhythms to the track entitled "Schatten". Towering tribal drum patterns collide with sub bass and guitar drones. The density increases constantly, subtly, evoking images of escalation and destruction before the sonic walls ultimately dissolve into ethereal "delay".
