Good collaborations can bring out latent voices. On
CONUNDRUM (56'43") the duo of Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock and
Bernhard Wostheinrich speak in a language of unexpected
affinities and easily traced influences. For Hoffmann-Hoock it is
Eastern thought and 60s psychedelia while technology and
abstract expressionism inform Wostheinrich's contributions.
Working together on CONUNDRUM the duo manages to
combine their individual musical traits into a cohesive sonic
statement. Electronic beats, pops and squeaks drop in hard,
then relax beneath ethereal guitar leads. The cerebral energy of
the rhythms activates the mind as languid melodies play to the
heart. Prog-Rock influences inundate Hoffmann-Hoock's guitar
riffs. Drifting glissando clouds, slow E-bow solos, breathing
chords and straight-ahead liquid leads flow amidst
Wostheinrich's electronica flare. With their hot beats and cool
guitar this duo conjures up multi-faceted inventions both
cosmically abstract and molecularly detailed.
