After the successful first release in our 10" series by Scanner we are proud
to present the second offering by prestigious Frank Bretschneider.

Bretschneider is one of the leading electronic music composers with a long
history in music making. This release now reflects another side of
Bretschneiders work.
More funky and seducing than ever before. Having found and using samples
from his old band (AG Geige) he creates complex variations of simple loops
that keep changing endlessly. Not the typical Bretschneider sound one would
expect and thus still redefining his own habitus.

Born and raised up in East Germany he studied graphic and painting, before
he started
to explore the worlds of electronic music in 1986.
In 1995 he co-founded the well known Raster-Noton label. He has critically
acclaimed
releases under his given name on Mille Plateaux and as Komet on12k.
Bretschneider has created some of the most influencial spacial electronics
of the last
years, unlike so much output in the microscopic music scene, his music has
always
flourished with activity.

Precise sound placement, volume levels and the contrast of tones in
Bretschneider¹s
production makes his compositions uniquely captivating. Bretschneider goes
beyond
the plug-in or plug research electronics. He redefines the genre by
rendering the parameters
playable, reentering the musical domain with unprecedented ease.
Bretschneider discovers the complexity of the virtual: microtonality,
clicks, complex rhythm
textures, melodic fragments. A perfect musical body. Bretschneider succeeds
again in
progressing the new age of laptop production and delivers a stunning
exhibition of sound.

Bretschneiders Concept
³I create my music with a modular computer-aided synthesizer system, under
the use of
classical synthesis techniques (subtractive and fm-synthesis).
Using two of the most basic sound-sources, sine waves and white noise, I
create short
(one to four bar) parts; all motions and progressions come intobeing from
the
(often unconventional) connected modules (lfo¹s, oszillators,filters,
envelope generators,
logic modules). This (partly chaotic) sequences I record to a harddisk
system for further
treatment (cutting, looping, filtering).The results are minimal, flowing,
interwoven structures,
determined by experiment and chance; representing my idea of a contemporary
music.²
