Peter Rehberg
Liminal States
Boomkat Product Review:
A transfixing, transcendent reminder of Peter Rehberg’s visionary, instinctive approach to electronic music surfaces with this magisterial 45 minute swell of cosmic accordion-like tones and timbral shifts, newly unearthed from his archive of collaboration with Icelandic choreographer Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir - RIYL Coil, Pauline Oliveros, Stephen O’Malley
As one of electronic music’s pivotal, tireless dynamos since the mid ‘90s until his untimely passing in 2021, Peter Rehberg’s legacy of solo work as PITA and practically running Editions Mego as a one-man operation, plus numerous collaborations with everyone from Fennesz and Jim O’Rourke, to his theatrical scores for choreographer Gisèle Vienne as KTL with Stephen O’Malley, have all assured his place in the pantheon of DIY electronic and noise music greats. Even in relief of all that sterling work, ‘Liminal States’, his unreleased soundtrack for Icelandic choreographer Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir, is arguably among Rehberg’s most striking and definitive pieces, both on account of its length - the longest single piece in his catalogue - and its sustained, unyielding psychedelic traction.
It arrives as the 3rd of his soundtracks for Guðjónsdóttir, but the first of those made available as a standalone piece available to hear, so it’s difficult to compare with the others. Taken on its own merits it stands out leagues from all his other work for its richly timbral complexity and an absorbing sensuality that’s relatively unusual for his oeuvre yet also symptomatic of the way he would instinctively adapt ideas from academic and avant garde worlds to stirringly emotive purpose and jog the unconscious. No doubt to our ears it’s best received with eyes shut, mouth agog for pharynx and skull-resonating results - and in that context probably best done solo for fear of looking like a tit in front of anyone else. Absolutely superb work from a master of his craft, still sorely missed in a scene he was instrumental in fostering for much of his lifetime.
