LINE is proud to present e-Menge the new installment of the Mengen
series from influential German electronic music pioneer Asmus
Tietchens. LINE will be releasing the subsequent works in this series.
Epsilon-Menge means Epsilon quantity.
The four pieces of this recording represent my aesthetic approach to
space. Space not as in a "spacey" or astronomic sense, but space as an
extension of the three-dimensional region in which we exist. Caused by
acoustic foregrounds and acoustic backgrounds, spaces of different
capacities occur. In the early 20th century the fine arts began to
abolished spatiality, I wish to restore it by sound.
- Asmus Tietchens, 2005
Asmus Tietchens' first released his unique electronic music in 1980,
but created works since the late 1960s. Since then he has produced
about 30 more cutting edge recordings on numerous international labels
dealing with electronic sound and conctrete music. Other
collaborationive projects include the ongoing Kontakt der Jünglinge
with Thomas Köner. Tietchens' focus is the manipulation of found sound
in ways suggested by the material itself. German label Die Stadt has
begun to reissue his groundbreaking early works on cd in limited
edition. His latest critically acclaimed project, a series based
strictly on sine tones and white noise is the "Mengen" series released
by Ritornell/Mille Plateaux (Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma-Menge).
