Experimental Electronic Music
In Bernhard Living’s works, there’s almost always a straightforward title to express the context behind each one, and there is always a description paired with the record to fully elaborate on its concept. That ends up making music as minimalistic as this far more interesting to me.
Bernhard Living’s Unanswered Questions continues his tradition of sparse, minimalist electronic compositions inspired by 20th-century composers—this time focusing on the conceptual and structural ideas behind works by Charles Ives. Each of the four tracks offers a thoughtful reinterpretation, distilling Ives’ complexity into ambient soundscapes that blend philosophical depth with musical restraint.
Upon listening to Bernhard Living’s output, the music is extremely minimalistic and doesn’t actively try to be challenging in some way; so with how little there is that’s happening, I immediately knew that this was coming from someone who knew what they were doing.
One of the many experimental three-track records from Bernhard Living, From Here to There is yet another exploration of tonality and thought.
While their core ideas are always there, minimal variations make these pieces work, as they’re not just loops going on for 25 minutes straight; there’s so few minimal details that it’s worth pointing them out individually instead of providing examples.
