{"product_id":"st-werner-jan-felder-vinyl","title":"St. Werner, Jan - Felder [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"redeye-blurb\"\u003eFelder is an infinite, boundless creation that unravels upon every\u003cbr\u003e\nlisten. Werner has created sounds that are listenable and inviting,\u003cbr\u003e\ncomplex but approachable and, mostly, completely unidentifiable.\u003cbr\u003e\n“Felder” means “fields” in German, and here the word refers to\u003cbr\u003e\nconceptual frameworks and subjects, and sound fields. Werner is a\u003cbr\u003e\ncultivator — a farmer — of the various sounds, from metal scratched\u003cbr\u003e\non a big glass window to piano phrases found on a private Popul\u003cbr\u003e\nVuh compilation. He mixes organic sounds from French horns and\u003cbr\u003e\ncellos seamlessly with synthesized notes created with one-of-a-kind\u003cbr\u003e\nprograms. Werner builds layers of sound with differing cadences\u003cbr\u003e\nupon one another, creating intricate patterns that connect with\u003cbr\u003e\neach other structurally, rhythmically, semantically, and historically.\u003cbr\u003e\nSuggestions of jazz, industrial music, drone and even folk float in\u003cbr\u003e\nand out of the electronic compositions in a seemingly effortless\u003cbr\u003e\nmanner; paradoxically, Felder was meticulously constructed over\u003cbr\u003e\nthe course of four years.\u003cbr\u003e\nWerner’s refinement process for the pieces on Felder was\u003cbr\u003e\nsimultaneous with the lofty goal of challenging himself as a\u003cbr\u003e\nmusician while still creating a record that is melodic and complex.\u003cbr\u003e\nWerner recorded the album in Marfa, Texas; Berlin, and around\u003cbr\u003e\nthe world while touring with Mouse on Mars. Just as the album’s\u003cbr\u003e\ncreation and production cannot be tied to a specific setting or time,\u003cbr\u003e\nthe sounds heard on the album have no clear boundaries. They\u003cbr\u003e\nare unexpectedly malleable and mutable. Context and perceptions\u003cbr\u003e\nplay with sounds to yield a fresh new experience with each listen.\u003cbr\u003e\nSamples and instrumentals bounce off one another, starting from\u003cbr\u003e\ncentral points and radiating outwards. With so many new sounds to\u003cbr\u003e\ndiscover and new inspirations to be found, Felder is an entire new\u003cbr\u003e\nfield of musical possibilities — a landscape that at first appears\u003cbr\u003e\nsimple and beautiful that reveals its utter complexity upon closer\u003cbr\u003e\ninspection.
