Einfluss [2LP]

Hans-Joachim Roedelius/Arnold Kasar – Einfluss [2LP]

With delicate piano themes and atmospheric electronic sounds, Hans-Joachim Roedelius & Arnold Kasar develop a unique chemistry. The fact that they are part of different generations of musicians is one of the reasons for the uniqueness and the magic of their encounter. Roedelius is one of the forefathers of Kosmische and Krautrock; with his bands Cluster and Harmonia, he played a major role in the development of these movements, and today looks back on more than a hundred releases and collaborations ranging from longtime companion Dieter Moebius to acclaimed artists such as Brian Eno. Arnold Kasar, almost thirty years younger, is a child of Berlin's crossover scene of the 1990s, breaking the line between electronic dance music and jazz. In their joint sessions near Vienna, Kasar prepared the piano with sheets of felt, creating the unique, tender, intimate sound of the album — within three days, more than thirty pieces were produced. "Einfluss" is not about technology or structure, but about flow, an open and immediate response between Roedelius' piano and Kasar's electronics.
