The debut of Hamburg trio
Cloud Management
stages the meeting of three proven exceptional figures:
Thomas Korf
and
Sebastian Kokus
have been responsible for some stunning leftfield neo-kraut releases with their band
Love-Songs
in recent years;
Ulf Schütte
has been one of the most productive, and innovative protagonists of experimental electronic music in Germany for many years (see
Datashock
,
Phantom Horse
, or his collaboration with
G. Steenkiste/Hellvete
on Umor Rex, for example). Following Love-Songs' highly acclaimed collaboration with Schütte,
Spannende Musik
, released in 2021 (BB 383CD/LP), the formation of Cloud Management as a group in its own right marks a new beginning, which is celebrated with the long player on Altin Village & Mine. The album is characterized by a dense texture of repetitions in which (modular) synthesizers and bass go head-to-head. It is on this foundation that the formal grammar of the album develops over its nearly 45-minute running time, organized along precise interventions into the hypnotic pulse: What is recognizable as echoes of 1960s/70s minimalism or
Cluster
functions on
Cloud Management
not in the sense that the sequences or the sequencers are left to themselves, but as highly concentrated, microscopic work on repetition. This virtuosic arrangements, groove-based and even danceable density of the seven pieces never sounds strained or as an end in itself, but floating, cloud-like. The polyrhythmic workouts are at all times in the service of a refreshing expanse that opens up from the sonic saturation and is far removed from the formulaic box-checking often associated with the attribute "kosmisch".
Cloud Management
, thus, marks not an exercise in the traditions of a musical past, but a distinctive position within contemporary electronic music. All songs are written, recorded and produced by Ulf Schütte, Thomas Korf, and Sebastian Kokus. Mastered by
Fritz Brückner
at Haunted Haus. Sleeve design by TEOTH. Includes printed inner sleeve.
