Die Kosmische Zygote

Another wonderful piece by Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf, this time in collaboration with Sascha Stadlmeier, also known as Emerge. This one's entitled Die Kosmische Zygote and is a double re-working of another original piece by Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf which, to my knowledge, hasn't been released. Enjoy.

Im Schlachthaus Blümen die Blumen

So about a week ago, I was wandering around in the district of Leipzig I live in, to the bank, then shopping for food. It must have been Saturday afternoon, the party folk haven't yet arrived and the working folk have already called it a day so there was barely anyone out in the streets, and I was listening to Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf. The name would at first suggest some neo-kraut band but is apparently a reference to Günther Grass' novel The Tin Drum and the band is an experimental ambient/avantgarde sound collage group. I first heard of them via Drone Records and recently got some other records of them - beautiful. I give you the first track off Im Schlachthaus Blühen die Blumen.

Mountains and Rivers

Following yesterday's entry about Auktyon, here is a track made by band leader Leonid Fyodorov, keyboardist Dmitriy Ozerskiy, some guy called Voloshin and poet Anri (Henri?) Volohonskiy which is completely different from Auktyon. Although Fyodorov does sing the melody used in "O Pogode" without lyrics. Much rather, though, this is a piece of experimental ambient music with Volohonskiy's breaking voice seemingly recorded on some cheap device and blending with the sounds in the background. Beautiful and haunting from the beginning to the end.


I'm posting the title track.
