He has been recording sound experiments since 1965, using electronic musical instruments, synthesizers, and tape loops. In the 1970s, Tietchens crossed paths with producer Okko Bekker, who has been credited as producer on his releases ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile some of Tietchen's early 80s recordings can be classified as \"electronic pseudo-pop,\" the majority of his works are highly experimental in nature. Drawing inspiration from various genres such as Industrial, Electro-Acoustic, Ambient, and Musique Concrète, he creates abstract sound collages that push the boundaries of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTietchens' albums often feature quotes from philosopher [a1452451] on their sleeves. If you enjoy artists like David Toop, CoH, Nocturnal Emissions, or Nurse With Wound among others listed below*, then Asmus Tietchens' unique blend of experimental sounds will surely captivate your ears.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lumieres-2","title":"Lumieres","description":"\u003cp\u003eAsmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio programme when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added.

This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the Sky label, home of many Krautrock bands. Tietchens often uses special source materials for his compositions such as water (Seuchengebiete), human voices (Von Mund zu Mund), paper (Papier ist geduldig). He is associated with the Industrial music scene through his collaborations and releases on labels such as United Dairies, Esplendor Geometrico or Dom Records. Tietchens never studied composition, he has no academic background, everything he does is self taught or learning by doing. Nevertheless, he was professor for sound design in Hamburg in recent years. Alice Freshmouth is an anagram project by Tom Fleischhauer. Tom plays guitar and bass and has worked as producer, live sound engineer, booker, promoter and composer. Him and Asmus have been friends for over 40 years, they regularly meet in Hamburg, either as musicians or attending concerts. When Tom played Asmus his most recent musical compositions, the two decided that their work was not completely compatible, but shows enough similar approach to start a spontaneous collaboration. Soon afterwards first ideas were exchanged and half a year later an album was born. Both musicians think that there is equal measure of each of them to be heard on this CD.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klanggalerie","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50445149110603,"sku":"2208688","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image003_bd675ec0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727033322"},{"product_id":"ptomaine-1","title":"Ptomaine 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eAsmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany.
