Cue

andrew pekler (bergheim 34 / sad rockets) has previous releases on scape, staubgold, klang and matador. he is one third of the kosmischer pitch live band, and is part of an as yet unnamed project with jan jelenik and hanno leichtmann. 'cue' is not an attempt to re-create, re-imagine or re-contextualize library music of past eras. the attempt to re-create the 'style' of library music would be pointless anyway as the music found on library records does not adhere to any distinct stylistic or aesthetic formula. instead library music can be defined by the formal constraints pertaining to its mode of production and it is the appropriation and application of these same constraints that have enabled and inspired andrew pekler to produce the music for this album. on the whole it is a vibrant, playful album of post-rock electronica with the occasional sombre passage providing some contrast to the predominantly ebullient tone. piano and analog synthesizer sounds abound while percussion (when used) is typically reduced to a minimum of tom toms, bells and unidentified noises.
