WOLFGANG VOIGT RCKVERZAUBERUNG IM TUNNEL

Title: Rckverzauberung Im Tunnel
Artist: Wolfgang Voigt
Label: Astral Industries
Genre: Ambient, Experimental
Catalog number: AI-40
Format:12″

Wolfgang Voigt makes a return to Astral Industries, seeing the continuation of his long-running Rckverzauberung (Reverse Enchantment) series. In line with previous volumes, one may expect the unconventional, idiosyncratic sound Voigt is reputed for. Im Tunnel however, takes a more concentrated viewpoint – a metaphysical transmutation that brings with it an experience of mind-melting drones and swelling intensity.

Entering the tunnel is like opening a portal, but as the fabric of time-space begins to collapse on itself, it feels more like a rude awakening. Pulsing undulations rise and fall like the turbines of a spacecraft, marked by dissonant chords and a simmering cloud of complex and ever-shifting textures. Pushing thresholds and expectations, the unearthly nature of the tunnel over time disintegrates any proposed state of completion.

A treacherous voyage, and possibly bewildering for some, the work is both unrelenting and uncompromising. Should one decide to step into the tunnel, be sure to take all necessary precautions and procedures.
