Wastrel Eyelid - Music

Drawing From Traditions Of 20th Century Instrumental Synthesizer Music Jonas Reinhardt Represents A Love Affair Between Analog Electronics Sweeping Atmospherics And Driving Motorik Beats. Combined Together These Elements Bring The Album's 13 Pieces Into Focus As The Soundtrack For An Inner-Eyelid Space Epic That Never Was. Inspired In Equal Measure By The Natural Beauty Of His California Coastal Surroundings Continental European Art-Rock Experimentation And The Freewheeling Punk Aesthetic Of Contemporary Home Studio Recording Jonas Reinhardt's Music Transcends It's Influences To Bring Into Being A Work That's Wholly New While Referencing A Celebrated Aesthetic Of The Past. Armed With A Battery Of Analog Synthesizers And Vintage Drum Machines Jonas Writes Music That Is At Times Stark And Spare And At Others Lush And All-Encompassing All The While Keeping An Underlying Rhythmic Pulse Just Beneath The Surface. Jonas Describes His Technique As `a Spirited Conversation Between Man Machines And The Ecstatic Truth Of The Chaotic Unknown.` With This Album Jonas Carefully Constructs Melodies And Rhythmic Foundations Then Pushes The Limits Of Recording To The Sonic Fringes And Beyond. The Effect Is A Warm Hauntingly Familiar Sound Bounded By Unpredictability. read less
