Listening to this Jan Jelinek, “Tierbeobachtunger” joint at work. So good.
How’s this for a gray area? I’m so lazy I’m just cut-and-pasting this description from some other web site:
“Germany’s Jan Jelinek is widely considered one of the world’s great electronic artists, and his latest, Tierbeobachtunger, will do nothing to diminish his stature. The perfect follow-up to last year’s spectacular Kosmischer Pitch [IT'S TRUE, THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY EVEN BETTER -DC], it’s another gorgeous excursion into his patented world of electronic loops and layers. Whereas Kosmischer paid homage to Krautrock with Can-ish rhythms, Tierbeobachtunger (“Animal Observations”) evokes the more lush soundscapes of Popul Vuh in perhaps his freest work to date. The tracks center around modulated loops with samples of an array of instruments, from synthesizer to guitaret to vibraphone, giving his music elements of warmth and humor not always associated with ambient music. Jelinek is a master craftsmen and musician, and Tierbeobachtunger captures him at the top of his game.”
No beats or drums, just hypnotic loops.
Plus I LOVE this picture of this guy's rig. This is like my wet dream right here:
