Reviews:
But sometimes the wind carries strange sounds to our ears, as if from miraculous, unknown territories. Or are they just dreams? - (Horst Stasiak)
'It's not a question of Indian music or American music. Every kind of music - its rhythm, its melody - gives you nourishment for your soul' -(Ali Akbar Khan)
Description:
Jens Fischer - 'Aúmakaú' - that's music that, except for an open sense of 'no expectations, makes no demands on the listener. We don't have to direct ourselves toward the music: it comes to us whether we want to or not, if we're listening or simply letting it be while we're doing what we're doing. The ingredients of the composition remain enigmatic but the recipe works when one allows it to take hold and the harmony transcends, barely noticeable and benevolent. As always with Jens Fischer, it's the guitar that leads and takes us by the hand as we walk through the realm of friendly grooves with soft energies and promise-of-happiness melodies. No need to listen to the rustling of the sea as it forces its way through our window in the night. It's inside us, forever. Jens Fischer is one of the outstanding artists from Erdenklang. As producer, composer and guitarist he is a principal factor in the international successes of our Tri Atma productions. One can hear this especially on the titles 'Papaduku' and 'Gentle Touch'. By including the human voice as an instrument in his work, Jens Fischer has widened the spectrum of this kind of contemporary instrumental music. His deftness enables him to create a synthesis of electronic, programmed and acoustic, 'played-by-hand' sounds although always subordinating the instrumentation within the total musical statement. 'Aúmakaú' found its origin in playing with syllables. But it could also be a fantasy island, a desert-, or cityscape; moot to reflect upon it. When one sits back and listens to the music, the images appear by themselves.
