Description
“German musicians. Out of the ruins of 1968 “faust” emerged in the early 70s and it was with this band that Irmler’s organ playing was first to be heard. Hardly a decade later FM.Einheit’s performances with Einstürzenden Neubauten were an expression of a heightened self-consciousness and the self-proclaimed “Genialer Dilletanten” (Ingenious Dilettantes) in the then walled city Berlin. Today these masters of evocative noise making are a motivating force for experimental music and are both active in numerous projects. Besides his production work in the “Faust” studio in south-Germany, Hans Joachim Irmler is the man behind the Klangbad festival and runs the Klangbad label. What is more, in 2010 he is releasing the first studio album by his band “Faust” in ten years. FM.Einheit is active in various theater and radio-play projects.At the start of the year the two of them met at the Faust studio where their unusual and special sound-worlds came together in the form of a recording session. The result is an exciting sound-collage made up of Irmlers dark spheres and the percussive sounds of FM. Einheit.Eight tracks will now be released on Klangbad in a limited edition vinyl format, thereby opening a new chapter in sound-scapes. Hans Joachim Irmler and FM. Einheit are playing live in Luzern and Berlin. So far the only planned German concert will take place on 29.11.09 in the “europe’s most important club”, Berghain.”
