Gvoon - Brennung 1
Boomkat Product Review:
Previously unreleased, 'Gvoon - Brennung 1' was recorded in the 1990s and finds Can co-founder Czukay composing a grim hour-long industrial soundtrack inspired by the incarceration horror stories of artist Arthur Schmidt.
After leaving Can in the late '70s, having been relegated to tape editing duty when the band hired Traffic's Rosko Gee to replace him on bass, Czukay was given a new lease of life. It was during this time when he perfected his shortwave radio technique - which he called "radio painting - and took an early interest in sampling, and his solo material never stopped evolving. During the '90s, he was fascinated by Cologne's burgeoning techno scene, so took the opportunity to work with various young producers who gave him the rundown of the methodologies. But don't assume that 'Gvoon - Brennung 1' is a techno record - Czukay's application is, of course, completely different. He was inspired at the time by Schmidt's stories about time spent in East German prisons, so two decades later, when Schmidt presented an interrogation room-themed art exhibition, he dug up some Czukay's archived tracks for the soundtrack.
Now remastered by Dirk Dresselhaus, 'Gvoon - Brennung 1' can be heard in full - two side-long mood pieces that feel as claustrophobic and terrifying as the source material. Not dark ambient by any means, it's rugged, distorted synth biz that's wrinkled by Czukay's mutated electro-acoustic clanks, twangs and drones. It's difficult to hear exactly where the techno influence might begin and end, but Czukay's synthwork definitely sets it apart from his other '90s solo recordings. 'Moving Pictures' is the closest, if you can imagine the atmospheres isolated from the more tangible elements. Filled with machine belches, distant sub-aquatic rumbles and stifled metallic clangs, it sounds like being trapped underwater in a vast lead tank, with malfunctioning computers buzzing incessantly in an adjacent chamber.
