Powered by their passion for sound, noted touch guitarist and
looper Markus Reuter along with storied electronic musician Ian
Boddy, craft disparate influences into a seamless work. Their
album PURE (55'35") contains 11 studio realizations
characterized by faceted rhythms, strange modulations,
harmonious melodies and unfolding sonic atmospheres.
Whether it's unstructured floating layers of repeating chords or
the interlaced rhythms of popping synthesizer tones and plucked
strings grounded to tumbling electronic percussion, each piece
develops rapidly and represents an elegant synthesis of the
human and the technological. Their sounds positively glow as
every tingling detail is meant to stimulate the imagination. The
duo embraces themes of machinery and power as well as the
streamlined classic motifs of Ambient Music. PURE's success
lies in the psychological drama between Boddy's writhing, gritty
rhythms and treatments and Reuter's ethereal and blessed
textures and melodies. Such variety makes their music hard to
define, but this kind of holistic approach can only come from
artists with maturity gained through years of experience.
However, the ability to apply this knowledge in inventing the
future can come only from a spiritual component. Is this the next
stylistic rage? It'd be nice if it was. This music is not about
conquering an audience; this music is for a world seeking
nuance in art and substance in its purveyors.
