LP version. Includes download code. Since 2000,
Mapstation
has been the moniker for the solo work of TAL Label founder
Stefan Schneider
. Schneider has won international acclaim as a founding member of
Kreidler
and
To Rococo Rot
, as well as through unique collaboration works with artists such as
Joachim Roedelius
(
Cluster
,
Harmonia
),
Bill Wells
,
Katharina Grosse
,
Dieter Moebius
(Cluster, Harmonia),
Sofia Jernberg
, or
Jochen Irmler
(
Faust
). There has not been a new Mapstation release since 2009's
The Africa Chamber
(SCAPE 059CD) which had former
Fela Kuti
member
Nicholas Addo-Nettey
on percussion.
Present Unmetrics
is not entirely a stand-alone creation either. There are guest appearances by
Thomas Klein
(Kreidler) on percussion,
Michael Acher
(
The Notwist
) on Sousaphone and an outstanding vocal contribution from Japanese singer
Haco
, all deeply woven into the digital topography of the music.
Present Unmetrics
offers a collection of radically subtle music. The guiding principle of the album was to construct direct and nuanced tracks which embody a sense of open-ended incompleteness and heterogenous dynamics. Out-of-sync bass arpeggios, infused with uneven rhythms, fractured synth stabs, and intimate melodies, frequently created here with a Schlumberg sine wave generator, are continuously engage with experimentation, both on sound and structure. Expertly pieced together and produced in timeless fashion,
Present Unmetrics
displays all the coherence and artistic authority of an album on a constant quest so vital to the music of Mapstation. An album that couldn't have been made by any other than Mapstation.
