This digital EP offers an imaginative soulful electronic jazzy-esque excursion through micro-tonal pulsating vibes and fluxuous waving tones.
Lagerfeltz is a side-project lead by founder and owner of nonine (Me Raabenstein) with the contribution of two other electronic sound designers Menno Jager and Ruben Koster. This new digital album is said to be a re-written work based on three tracks already published on a previous album titled Aar and released on nonine in 2010.
In itself this digital EP offers an imaginative soulful electronic jazzy-esque excursion through micro-tonal pulsating vibes and fluxuous waving tones. Rather abstract but technically accessible, the musical trip confirms the electro semi-acoustic oscillating facet of Me Raabenstein’s music with some particular tense moments, neurotic grooves and hypno-ish rhythmical density. “Ooseer” progressively rises at the calm-floating sounding surface to reach a complex climate of electronic maelstrom. “Uuitaar” is a fascinating and enthralling track which admits an clever association between a classy restful glitch ambient with acoustic guitar timbres and tranced-out pulsating electronic obliteration. The last piece offers a complex electro ethno-jazzy ambience with the use of an important array of percussive parts, meticulous electronic scintillations, impressive bass sequences with lot of dynamics into the mix.
Me Raabenstein shows once again the possibility and ability of his sound-art with a vast panel of chilled-out sonic ambiences. Strong recommendation that will ravish fans of previous nonine recordings as well as listeners of cybernetic-braindance ambient electronica.
Xaar is available on nonine.
