Unterhaltungen mit Larven und Überresten by Läuten der Seele
For fans of Faust, Current 93, Wojciech Rusin, sound collage, and the reclamation of discarded human expression, Unterhaltungen mit Larven und Überresten by Läuten der Seele lets us eavesdrop on the rich life of a forgotten subterranean world. Self-consciously embodying the outsider spirit of the art they make allows Läuten der Seele to speak not just from the perspective of the person behind the persona, but from the very art itself. Meaning, when we dig through this complex web of distorted samples, synthetic organs, deadpan vocals, and acoustic instrumentation, we intuitively learn the language with which the most experimental artistic fringe communicates, listening in on a conversation enacted through enigmatic symbolism and difficult emotions. Though these conversations occur all around us at all times and cover the same themes we have on our minds, their unique communication style adds depth to melancholy and meaning to sentimentality. On the fringe, forgotten media and mumbled affirmations take center stage, a collection of all the emotions we refused to feel and all the art we refused to celebrate.
