RELEASE DATE

2012 repress., originally released 2008.
Black Sea
is the much-anticipated new album from
Christian Fennesz
, his first since
Venice
(2004), about which
Stylus Magazine
's
Nick Southall
wrote: "
Fennesz does with sound what
Stan Brakhage
did with film, altering its very fabric and texture, employing disorder and error as forms of communication and expression. He forces you to learn a different method of perception and interpretation, to look beneath the chaos that seems to govern the movements of life and find the patterns beneath
." Fennesz's career has come a long way since
Instrument
, his debut for Mego in 1995, and his first solo album
Hotel Paral.lel
which followed in 1998.
Endless Summer
(Mego, 2001) brought him to a much wider audience and
Venice
underlined his mastery of melody and dissonance. His songs usually embody the skillful application and manipulation of dense sonic textures with a genuine feel for the live, and real-time.
Black Sea
features guitars that rarely sound like guitars; the instrument is transformed into an orchestra. Fennesz lists the elements used to make the compositions: "Acoustic and electric guitars, synthesizers, electronics, computers and live-improvising software lloopp." On "Glide," Fennesz duets with New Zealand's
Rosy Parlane
, whose work is also released on Touch. Fennesz also teams up with eMego artist
Anthony Pateras
whose prepared piano features on "The Colour of Three." Fennesz pushes his work into a more classical domain, preferring the slow reveal to
Venice
's and
Endless Summer
's more song- based structures.
Jon Wozencroft
's artwork makes visible this carefully hidden world resting beneath the surface of "the first impression." A series of shots, taken in quick succession as the tide recedes, reveals a world of specific activity only visible at a particular time and place, histories appearing and disappearing.
