staubgold 43 Joseph Suchy - "calabi.yau" cd/lp

"Not a rocker. Not an electronic artist. A sensual, a feeling person. No
copy-art. In these times of senseless struggles for sovereignty at the
musicians' regular table, Suchy is the cowboy with the Indian's face."
musicians' regular table, Suchy is the cowboy with the Indian's face." This
is what one of Germany's biggest daily newspapers recently wrote about
Joseph Suchy, "Cologne's very own professor of guitar research". They got it
spot on.

In the global improv & avantgarde community, the born Franconian is no
unknown person. He collaborated with artists like David Grubbs, Ekkehard
Ehlers, Niobe and FX Randomiz; he is a permanent member of Burnt Friedmann's
Nub Dub Players; and he was one of the founders of Cologne-based
cult-improv-label Grob. The musical sensitivity of this slightly odd artist
in his mid-forties is hard to match.

"calabi.yau" is Suchy's new solo-outing. It's a music of delicate sounds, in
which acoustic guitars and electro-acoustic signals are woven into
non-linear, fragile sound sculptures. At times, this music borders on
sensory deception (what is this sound? Electric or acoustic?); it is an
illustrated broadsheet of a strange, yet familiar reality. Suchy cunningly
and imperturbably evades the categorisations of contemporary modern music:
What he does is giving his listeners a carte blanche to dream. Or, as the
artist himself puts it: "Music in search of the freakwave".
