2009, Thrill Jockey
VINYL FORMAT. After being occupied with solo and band projects, Florian Kmet and Stefan Nemeth met again last year to record Transition. For this album, found objects such as the body of an acoustic guitar, a prepared fender Rhodes, little metal objects, a lonesome snare-drum, and the heating systems were use to build rhythmic patterns. In addition they sampled a guitar, captured small units and organized these small sounds (the beginning of "Volver" or "4am" is a good example of that). It was "raw" sampling - no heavy processing. Transition as an album has a strong feeling of space and depth. It is expansive yet detailed. For Kmet and Nemeth, the concept of the album (the openness) was not a thesis from which the album was created, but a binding theme that evolved with the album. It is an exceptional album; one of rare beauty.
