• DIRK SERRIES + ASMUS TIETCHENS - 'Die Höfner Akten' CD

A new collaborative work by two veterans of the European experimental scene: Dirk Serries (Vidna Obmana / Fear Falls Burning) + Asmus Tietchens (Kontakt Der Jünglinge, Hematic Sunsets, ex-Doc Wör Mirran).

Long-time colleagues and friends, Serries and Tietchens have exchanged sound materials to be reworked and published on an on and off basis since the 90's. The improvisations on "Die Höfner Akten" use a Höfner acoustic guitar as the exclusive source material by Serries with its basic structure. Tietchens then reworked source material provided in such a way that the character of his improvisations would remain intact while at the same time expanding the sound palette through further manipulations. "In doing so we hoped the results would sound equally like Serries or Tietchens, or - even better - like none of us" (Asmus Tietchens).

"The genius of this album lies in the parallelism, or marriage, between the ectoplasmic non-forms born from Tietchens’ radical alteration of the guitar’s DNA, and the primordial avatar of the instrument, audibly present in every improvisational fragment by Serries" (Touching Extremes).
