Turning their gaze to the buoyant culture of wyrd, modernist German folk music, Quindi welcome a spectacularly idiosyncratic offering from
Johannes Schebler
, aka
Baldruin
. Bewildering narrative twists, high drama and intricate delicacy make
Mosaike der Imagination
an engrossing listen from the outset, as baroque atmospheres and tumbledown drums intertwine with tactile string plucks and needlepoint synthesis in an authoritative bridging of ancient and hypermodern sonic sensibilities. Schebler's catalogue as Baldruin is extensive, reaching back to the late '00s and covering a lot of ground through cassette albums on respected underground labels like SicSic, A Giant Fern, and Lullabies For Insomniacs. Meanwhile, his work has been recognized as part of a broader movement of experimental electronic music in Germany taking inspiration from folk traditions, as documented on
Gespensterland
. Beyond his solo work, Schebler also works with
Jani Hirvonen
as
Grykë Pyje
(mappa), and both collaborate with
Paul Wilson
as
Yayoba (Not Not Fun)
.
Christian Schoppik
of leading dark folk project
Brannten Schnüre
joins him as
Freundliche Kreisel
(
STROOM
). It's a tangled, fascinating and evocative sound world which
Mosaike der Imagination
offers a compelling window into. No two tracks on the album follow the same pattern or palette, whether gliding through the Giallo synth undulations and post rock tonal arcs of "Stimme des Wegelagerers" or spelling out miasmic incantations through flickering flames on "Aus dem Feuer, aus dem Licht." "Hinein, hinaus, hinüber" revolves around meditative drum mantras and cascading melodic phrasing, densely layered and evolving with purpose. "Gemeinsam hindurch" flicks between swooping strings and pizzicato plucks in a purely romantic expression of orchestration, "Mit verbundenen Augen" is a bewildering choral voice study and "Im Sternstrom" revels in ecstatic synth arpeggios. Nothing can be predicted except the vibrancy and clarity of Schebler's vision. It's a vision which extends to the front cover artwork for
Mosaike der Imagination
-- a glorious tapestry created by Finnish artist
Jan Anderzén
, with a responding design and layout from Schebler adorning the rear sleeve.
