Artist:	SENKING
Title:	List
Label:	RASTER-NOTON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	R-N 077CD

Originally released in 2007. Is there beauty in what is threatening? With List, Senking introduces 40 minutes of the darkest matter and reckons, yes. He varies and experiments with a -- for Raster-Noton -- frightening diversity of sounds. He reveals the pieces as sound-collages, as quotes, which seem to refer to splatter movies and film noir. Following the tremendous plot of his endtime-subject, he persistently welds together sound spaces in order to compress them later into overwhelming drone-sounds. These as such, then go to serve a fundamental purpose -- as an environment for minimalistic themes and melodies, always to be driven by the ever present slow-beat of the pieces. Nonetheless, the syntax, the destiny of each single piece is highly varied and has the appearance of a much more mature composition, compared to his earlier works. Remarkably, the technical aspect does not take a leading role in Senking's anti-utopia visions. It's about substantial and age-old patterns, about impulses and the inevitable. Comparable to a tracking shot, the sound masses are flowing grey and drama-laden towards their final purpose -- seeming to follow the ductus of the opening piece -- let's go.

Title:	Tweek
Label:	RASTER-NOTON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	R-N 131EP

On Tweek, Senking again reveals his sense of cineastic atmospheres and dark abysmal depths of sound, which are subordinate to extremely slow, choky basses and delayed beats. Tweek is meant to be a DJ-tool for a club environment. "Tweek" refers to a character on South Park, who constantly struggles with feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. This 12" documents the eagerness to experiment, with astonishing ideas shining through the dark substance. The tracks even reveal cheerful and comical features.
