Phasenmensch – Entschleunigungsprozesse [Vernunft und Leidenschaft]
PHASENMENSCH
Entschleunigungsprozesse [Vernunft und Leidenschaft] cd
HANDS D212 Hands Paper Pack 13 euro
Does the idea of passionate thinking leave you startled? PHASENMENSCH picks up the concept of his earlier work “Begegnungen” (=encounters) on his sophomore release for HANDS, a result of difficult, eventful changes in the social environment, yielding excitingly controversial situations. Musically, “Entschleunigungsprozesse” is an impressively mature, antithetic work: Full of emotional atmospheres, yet strict in composition, decidedly rhythmic, yet avoiding any harshness, highly melancholic, yet fuelled by positivity – a gentle and thoughtful piece of electronic music.
On “Entschleunigungsprozesse”, Wolfram Bange aka Phasenmensch takes his clues from a philosophical concept (again): The central question is how to retain your originality and not deny your nature under society’s crushing pressure of conformance? How can you find time to actually think during the hastening of modern life? Important people come and go, alliances are formed and broken up, tears are shed and mistakes are made. Understand this as your chance to improve, and the potential is endless – just leave enough space to explore your true feelings, and the outlook is bright!
“Entschleunigungsprozesse” may well be seen as a vehicle to escape the agitation of the outside world. For starters, “Vernunft und Leidenschaft” will set the mood with its gloomy intro, breaking into uplifting minimal rhythms. Everything appears integrally connected, from the quiet sophistication of “Alles verschwindet”, “Sommerregen” or “Vom Nein zum Ja” over the technoid leanings of the collaborative tracks with with Constructor and ICD-10 to the more industrial beats of “Heilige Momente” or “Funkenflug”.
No less than three tracks feature Wolfram’s good friend Ophelia the Suffering, adding guitar and sounds to the brooding “Rost und Knochen”, as well as adding some rhythmic distortion to “Optimierte Gegenwart” as Ecstasphere and remixing “Vernunft und Leidenschaft” as Aphexia, adding aggrieved string sounds. The last word goes to HANDS label mate Hezzel, using gently distorted bass drones for his remix.
The 73 minutes of “Entschleunigungsprozesse” are a meaningful timeout as well as a much recommended electronic music album – reason and passion in an unknown alliance!

Musik:
Phasenmensch – Inferno aus Sand [Tagebuch eines Eremiten]
PHASENMENSCH – Tagebuch eines Eremiten – cd HANDS D193
PHASENMENSCH joins the HANDS roster with a deliberately genre-defying album that covers the entire range from ambience over downbeats, Industrial sounds and uptempo dancefloor smashers (both broken and straight) to noise. „Tagebuch eines Eremiten“ features remixes and collaborations by NEEDLE SHARING, PHILIPP MÜNCH and many more. It is held together by a knack for atmosphere, providing a pleasant and coherent listening experience — so feel free to browse through the pages of the hermit’s diary!

Pressespiegel: Phasenmensch – Tagebuch eines Eremiten
Medienkonverter:
„Bei Phasenmensch, dem Projekt von Wolfram Bange und Neuzugang bei Hands, muss man sich folgende Frage stellen: Gibt es sphärischen Industrial ? Ganz klare Antwort: Ja! […] Phasenmensch ist wohl eine der richtig interessanten Neuentdeckungen der letzten Zeit und eine wirkliche Empfehlung für Menschen, die Musik nicht nur hören, sondern auch fühlen.“

blackaudio:
„Overall, ‘Tagebuch Eines Eremiten’ is an impressive, professional release that should shame many of his peers into attempting to step up to the plate, rather than sit in the stale bubble that so many of them have become accustomed to over the last few years.“
Black Onlinemagazin:
„‚Tagebuch eines Eremiten‘ ist ein Kondensat aus einer sehr breiten Palette musikalischer, biographischer und intellektueller Einflüsse. Das schlägt sich im Sound nieder. Bange verweigert sich in der Gesamtschau dem Dienst an üblichen Genrekonventionen und generiert so eine Mischung aus IDM in der Tradition von Projekten wie GRIDLOCK oder SOMATIC RESPONSES, technoidem Rhythmus-Sound á la GREYHOUND oder NULLVEKTOR und sogar BreakBeats / Drum´n Bass.“

„Immer wieder spannend, immer wieder überraschend und doch alles wie aus einem Guss.“
