http://www.fennesz.com/ Fennesz uses guitar and computer to create shimmering, swirling electronic sound of enormous range and complex musicality. "Imagine the electric guitar severed from clich� and all of its physical limitations, shaping a bold new musical language." - (City Newspaper, USA). His lush and luminant compositions are anything but sterile computer experiments. They resemble sensitive, telescopic recordings of rainforest insect life or natural atmospheric occurrences, an inherent naturalism permeating each piece. en Copyright 2010 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:33:24 +0000 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss "It was with joy and pride that I had the honour to work with Mark.

His brand of reverb-drenched guitar expression combined with incredible ambient drone and intelligent mixing all came together on Endless Summer to create an album outstripping anything release by Tim Hecker, Wolf Eyes, Black Dice, or any other noise musicians active in the 2000s."

CD + LP Track Listing: 1. Music Box Of Snakes 2. Goodnight Sweetheart 3. Shai-Hulud 4. If My Heart 5. Mark's Guitar Piece 6. NC Bongo Buddy 7. Christian's Guitar Piece Konkurrent say - "Ever since 'Endless Summer' we were attracted to the music of Christian Fennesz. Where many laptop artists don't reach further than idle electronic rumble without engagement, Fennesz manages to create a world of unheard and rich new sounds. Christian's idea to collaborate with Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse excited us immediately. The two artists had performed together a couple of times and both felt that there was further mileage in the collaboration. Just two days in December 2007 were enough to record over 40 minutes of the sublime Fennesz and Sparklehorse combination. Prepared oddities and masses of inspiration make these recordings unique in their style and in this series in particular. Songs and soundscapes of rare beauty with stunning atmospherics, where abstract sounds and wellcrafted traditional songstructure meet and where acoustic instruments and electronics create outstanding ambience."]]> http://www.fennesz.com/discography/sparklehorse_fennesz_in_the_fi_1.html http://www.fennesz.com/discography/sparklehorse_fennesz_in_the_fi_1.html discography Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:48:03 +0000 Further info at www.konkurrent.nl Buy at www.boomkat.com]]> http://www.fennesz.com/news/sparklehorse_fennesz_in_the_fi.html http://www.fennesz.com/news/sparklehorse_fennesz_in_the_fi.html news Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:36:26 +0000 www.manafon.com]]> http://www.fennesz.com/news/david_sylvian_manafon.html http://www.fennesz.com/news/david_sylvian_manafon.html news Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:34:57 +0000 25th September @ Celeste Prize - Best Live Media Final, Berlin (Germany) - ["Pixel Wind" with Messmatik visuals] 29th September @ Centrematic 09 - Centre de Cultura "Sa nostra", Palma de Mallorca (Spain)]]> http://www.fennesz.com/live_archive/september_2009.html http://www.fennesz.com/live_archive/september_2009.html live_archive Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:40:05 +0000 1st August @ Field Day Festival - Victoria Park, London (United Kingdom) 8th August @ Acusmatiq Festival, Ancona (Italy) 22nd August @ Pukkelpop Festival, Hasselt (Belgium) http://www.fennesz.com/live_archive/august_2009.html http://www.fennesz.com/live_archive/august_2009.html live_archive Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:52:26 +0000 7th July @ Gandusiana 09 Music Festival - St. Catherine Island, Rovinj (Croatia) 11th July @ Konfrontationen Festival, Nickelsdorf (Austria) - [Fennesz/Brandlmayr/Dafeldecker] http://www.fennesz.com/live_archive/july_2009.html http://www.fennesz.com/live_archive/july_2009.html live_archive Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:51:48 +0000
