HEISZENBERGER, ANDREAS - Solokarriere

"A few months after his contribution (I Hate You) on Matthias Schaffh_ɬ§users Warenkorb #4 , the new Cologne-based label Eventuell is proud to present the first longplayer of visual artist and electronic musician Andreas Heiszenberger from Nurnberg. Heiszenbergers concept of House might remind of Jan Jelineks Farben and Ekkehard Ehlers Betrieb , but is also characterized by his refreshing DIY-approach, experimentalism and very own humour and, its not only because of Heiszenbergers vocals that Solokarriere will suit fans of Justus K_ɬ_hncke or the new Kompakt Pop serie. Next to the electronic and dance tunes youll find short, narrative interludes of soundpoetry and fieldrecordings together with his regular use of unusual samples, Solokarriere defines a completely new way of compiling a longplayer in electronic music. The record comes in a very special gatefold-cover with sticker, with paintings by Andreas Heiszenberger who also studied with German artist and musician Albert Oehlen (Leiterwagen Records). On the inside youll find a documentation about his visual art work (many coloured paintings and drawings) and a text by Wolfgang Brauneis (in german). This first edition is limited to 280 copies plus 20 copies numbered and signed special edition with an original drawing by Andreas Heiszenberger (now sold out). Eventuell is run by the tonschacht-crew and will be specialised in artists records. Forthcoming releases are planned with Sven-Ake Johansson, Jason Forrest (aka Donna Summer), and a collaboration between Blank with Raymond Pettibon and Tobias Rehberger (together with Grob)." - Eventuell.
