Jonas Reinhardt

drawing from traditions of 20th century instrumental synthesizer music, jonas reinhardt represents a love affair between analog electronics, sweeping atmospherics, and driving motorik beats. combined together, these elements bring the album's thirteen pieces into focus as the soundtrack for an inner-eyelid space epic that never was. reinhardt's tracks have much in common with cluster's warm european electro, mixing krautrock with dark waves of goblin-inspired giallo music. armed with a battery of analouge synthesisers and vintage drum machines, jonas writes music that is at times stark and spare and at others lush and all-encompassing; all the while keeping an underlying rhythmic pulse just beneath the surface. cd only on kranky.
