Low Frequency Orchestra, Wolfgang Mitterer

2010 release **  "The Low Frequency Orchestra is a small ensemble of 'paetzold' recorders, electronic devices, voice, double bass and drums and they team up here with one Wolfgang Mitterer who plays organ. The starting point of this CD is a live recording which has been 'repeatedly revised, de- and re-composed'. Taking into account this and the fact that this is a small ensemble, I was reminded of Mnemonists and Biota, who used similar group playing and extensive studio techniques to define their unique sound. Something of this I recognize in this music, especially in the title piece. It is preceded by five short solo pieces by various members of the orchestra and I am not sure why they are included. They nevertheless sound great, but its 'Mole', lasting thirty minutes which makes this really great. A very vibrant piece of rock music which meets up, as easily, with improvised textures and studio techniques to further alienate the listener. Things happen at considerable speed, with a nice sense of brutality and careful when necessary. An excellent release."
