about

Acoustic Solo Percussion Vol. 1-4 by Christian Wolfarth & Remixes by Rashad Becker, Joke Lanz, Hans Joachim Irmler and Günter Müller.

"Also available is the Acoustic Solo Percussion two disc set, the first of which includes the eight pieces of the 7" series, coupled with a further disc of the same material reworked by four remixers. Günter Müller's version of pieces from the first disc just soften off the corners and turned the music into detailed but ultimately fluid washes, but Joke Lanz (Sudden Infant) adresses the vinyl aspects of the releases, spinning the discs against the needles, looping the parts and playing with the materiality of the vinyl itself as much as the music recorded on it. Faust's Hans Joachim Irmler takes one of the two sides of the third 7" with an inevitable krautrock feel, with plenty of reverb, cavernous crashes and a constant organ-like drone. The most rewarding reworkings come from the albums's mastering engineer Rashad Becker. His first treatment adds a respectful depth to Wolfarth's music by adding subtle layers and various equalisation treatments, but the second takes it somewhere completely different. For his remix of "Well Educated Society", Becker adds new acoustic sounds from a baritone sax, cello and violin alongside his own feedback cabinet to create a chamber music work full of surprise attack and sustained atmosphere, which reflects the feel of Wolfarth's original but then goes off somewhere completely new."
