ドイツのハンブルク出身、10歳でミュージックコンクレートに興味を持ち18歳よりテープループ実験を開始した人気の大ベテラン作家Asmus Tietchens。オリジナルは当店でも何度か販売した、1996年に米RRRecordsが3枚組LPで出版した隠れ名大作[Ptomaine]が初のCDリイシュー！！激シブなインダストリアル、オブスキュアな音断片、生々しい物体音反復など、約2分半程の細かいループが程良い綻び加減で次々に連なっていく、この変則的構造が癖になる個人的激推しの一枚!!(今回発表されたのは1枚目のLPの単独版であり、今後もシリーズで2、３と展開していく模様)



Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio programme when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut album Nachtstücke was released, produced by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the Sky label, home of many Krautrock bands. Tietchens often uses special source materials for his compositions such as water (Seuchengebiete), human voices (Von Mund zu Mund), paper (Papier ist geduldig). He is associated with the Industrial music scene through his collaborations and releases on labels such as United Dairies, Esplendor Geometrico or Dom Records. Tietchens never studied composition, he has no academic background, everything he does is self taught or learnign by doing. Nevertheless, he was professor for sound design in Hamburg in recent years. Ptomaine was originally released on RRRecords in 1996 as a 3 LP set. This is the first volume of the first ever CD re-issue.
