Artificial Memory Trace aka Slavek Kwi and PBK aka Phillip B. Klingler have been pillars of the global DIY experimental music culture for decades. Here, they team up with EMERGE and his colleague Gerald Fiebig. Each one of the four artists contributes one track of about 10 minutes to the album. However, "Fiction Circuit" is more than just a compilation: it's a product of sound exchange, blurring lines between composers and suppliers of sound material. All of the artists on this album share a love of creating electroacoustic music from field recordings or found sounds. These were used as the basis for the compositions, which was then sculpted, very much in the spirit of acousmatic musique concrète. On the A-side (source material by AMT), PBK delivers a dense, rather rhythmic track with a decidedly "industrial" feel, while Fiebig realises a rather harmonic ambient piece. On the B-side, Artificial Memory Trace and Emerge "play" the source material of PBK. AMT's piece qualifies as exuberant rhythm noise, while Emerge goes all the way into rather meditative laminar lower-case drone minimalism. Very different sonic textures and temperaments showcase the wide range of expressive possibilities of electroacoustic music. Ltd x 300 copies on green marbled vinyl with 2 full-sized inserts.
