ANEMONE TUBE / GUSTAVO DE LACERDA “1515” & PETER UHR “MEDITATIONS FROM A SOUND”

‘1515’ is a collaborative work between ANEMONE TUBE and GUSTAVO DE LACERDA. The video was directed and edited by the brazilian artist GUSTAVO DE LACERDA, shot in Rotterdam from September 2006 to September 2007. The soundtrack created by ANEMONE TUBE is based on real-time field recordings made in Nanjing and Shanghai. Soundtrack mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN, 2010.

MEDITATIONS FROM A SOUND- a CD release by swedish artist/composer Peter Uhr living in Berlin and at the Koster Sound on an island in Skagerack. Music composed with the chakra points in mind. He works with ambiences from nature and cosmos combined with various textures on classical western and oriental instruments.

‘1515’ will be released end of May 2010 as special edition bonus DVD along with ANEMONE TUBE`s CD release ‘Dream Landscape’ – the first official solo release by ANEMONE TUBE after 9 years of silence. Originally founded in 1996 in Southern Germany, ANEMONE TUBE has quite made a name for himself in the industrial/noise genre – especially due to the psychogenic nature of his music. On this new release ANEMONE TUBE creates massive ambient/noise soundscapes. The sounds are pulsating, drowning and floating, tormenting and caressing – all culminating in a haunting sonic experience. ‘Dream Landscape’ is – together with the album ‘Death over China’ (to be released by Waystyx Records/Russia) – the first part of the ‘Suicide Series’. To this field recordings made in China provide a conceptional basis.

GUSTAVO DE LACERDA has studied Industrial Design, Art and Philosophy in Rio De Janeiro. In 2007 he graduated as Master in Graphic Design at St. Joost Academy, Breda, The Netherlands. His first video VAGA-LUME / FIREFLY DVD was selected for the Mostra do Filme Livre, Rio De Janeiro, 2007. Since 2009 he lives and works in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

REVIEW: ANEMONE TUBE ‘DREAM LANDSCAPE’ CD

”I was pretty excited when Stefan contacted me about the renewed ANEMONE TUBE, and for good reason: I’m not sure if it’s a taste so many others share, but I always found Anemone Tube material particularly well planned and unquestionably focused. This new round of material is largely sourced from field recordings made in China, supplemented on ‘Dream Landscape’ with some subtle synth tones, all patiently honed and effected for a genuinely unique amalgamation of sounds which owes more to ANENZEPHALIA-esque power electronics mannerisms than it does to typically apparent field recording collectors.
There’s no intention here to recreate a mood or time already passed; instead – and somewhat similarly to JOHN WATERMANN’s essential ‘CALCUTTA GAS CHAMBER’ (CD on ND / Cold Spring and 12” on Die Stadt) – the sounds are shaped, looped, treated and manifested into a completely new, more invigorated shape. Particularly malevolent is “Demoniac Reign”, adding ominous muffled speech fragments to the flaying high-end storms and dramatic synth drone which are the common themes to ‘Dream Landscape’. But each track making up this half hour or so has its own energy and blend of textures, all with that assuredness found on previous Anemone Tube recordings.”
