ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Vienna-based guitarist Christian Fennesz is one of the city's many artists associated with the noted Mego label, which releases mostly free-form ambient and experimental electronica. Similar in some respects to the work of Seefeel or Experimental Audio Research, Fennesz's six-string soundscapes are both darker than the former and more complex and intricate than the latter, combining dense, multilayered sheets of treated guitar and synth with thin, odd-metered electronic percussion and engaging sampler work. A former member of Austrian underground experimental rock ...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Black Sea is the much-anticipated new album from Christian Fennesz, his first since Venice (2004). 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   [ read more ]

Mego is proud to announce the release of the long awaited new Christian Fennesz album, "Endless Summer." Much has passed since the 1997 release of "Hotel Paral.lel," his first full-length for Mego. Constantly active in performance, dance, theatre, and film music, Fennesz also has worked on numerous collaborative releases on labels such as Ritornell, Touch, Charhizma, and Synaesthesia and with Jim O'Rourke and Peter Rehberg as Fenn O'Berg. Fennesz's third full-length album further explores the territory mapp   [ read more ]

This reissue of Christian Fennesz's breakthrough classic Endless Summer has been remixed, remastered, and re-released with two extra tracks. Originally released in 2001 by Mego, Endless Summer brought his name and music towards the first steps of mainstream recognition with its micro sounds and warm guitar, harkening the dreamy serenity and quick-fading sentimentality of a California sunset. Following on from the more experimental Hotel Paral.lell and the Beach Boys homaged Plays   [ read more ]

Reissue! A CD reissue of his vinyl single release on Austria's Mego label, and an introduction to his specialized vision of 1960's-styled electronic-pop. Versions of the Stones' "Paint It Black" and the Beach Boys' "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulders)" are covered with loving electronic care, resulting in two tracks of humdinging pop glory.

As bizarre as it was, Fennesz's previous release for Mego -- Instrument EP -- is made positively accessible by this, his full-length debut. Skipping across droning, machinic ambient, minimal experimental techno, and abstract, beat-oriented electronica, the album draws copiously from compositional styles the artist clearly (and thankfully) has nothing but a passing interest in. Points of reference might include, by turns, Main, Porter Ricks, Nonplace Urban Field, and {$Throbbing   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Christian Fennesz is a pioneer. He's responsible for establishing the laptop computer as both a compositional tool and a concert instrument. Subsuming electro-acoustic strategies into a bedrock of pop, he terraforms vast new worlds of sound, within which both AMM and The Beach Boys can cozily co-exist.
