I loves me some Monolake, me. Doesn't everyone? Here's Robert Henke from out of them with a recording of the audio part of a two-man art installation/performance thing involving lots of balloons and lights that Ant saw online somewhere and says looked well mental. There's quite a broad range of tracks on here, with just a couple sounding much like his main band, the experience is definitely much more like listening to a soundtrack than a purpose-built LPscraper. There are tracks of synthy ambience, glitchy naginess, and avant-garde broken pianoness which are all very nice, but the real meat for our ears is found on tracks like the seventh and fifth that take things on a one-way trip down Raster Noton Close where you'll find known techno head Jimmy Corkhill dealing to Byetone and knocking birds about.. Atom/Document is a fragmented but ultra-tidy album on Imbalance, available on both the LP and CD objects.'Atom' is a collaborative performance by CHRISTOPHER BAUDER and ROBERT HENKE (aka MONOLAKE) and has been performed at Centre Pompidou / Paris, at Tesla Berlin, and at several other festivals in 2007 / 2008.
This CD / limited double LP release contains the music written for the 'Atom' performance. Since the performance is based on lots of spontaneous interaction between BAUDER who controls the height of the balloons in the matrix, and HENKE who controls the LED patterns by triggering various musical elements, each performance is different, and this recording only serves as a document of one possible scenario.
The album has been composed, mixed and edited entirely in Ableton Live 7, using many instances of the Operator synthesizer, recordings of a very loud and very big high-voltage transformer and a recording of some piano notes.
