HANNO LEICHTMANN
Outerlands
Boomkat Product Review:
Berlin's Hanno Leichtmann is the latest in a litany of artists who have rediscovered the organ - sigh - on 'Outerlands' he tackles the MIDI-controlled Villa Aurora Organ, using its pipes and marimba and chimes to add a little lightness to the canon.
We know, we know, it's another organ record. But Leichtmann doesn't take the obvious route - there are no just intoned drones here - instead looking back to forgotten exotica records for inspiration. The instrument itself is a rare one, built in the late '20s by California's Artcraft Organ Company and consisting of a pipe organ, a wall mounted marimba and a set of tubular bells. But the most important part is that it can be controlled by MIDI, so Leichtmann is able to fire complex arrangements at the instrument. And after the relatively sedate, devotional opener 'Lucero', we're launched into chaos with 'Tramonto', a zipping set of eerie echoes and wheezing arpeggios. Leichtmann really gets moving when he introduces the organ's other sounds though: on 'Posetano' he brings in Steve Reich-style marimba sequences, fading them into deserted, exotica surrealism on 'Miramar'.
And on 'Revello', we get to hear a few more of the grandfather clock-like tubular bell chimes, that Leichtmann forms into wonky, anthemic phrases. 'Alondra' is even better, a stifled moan from another era that manages to absorb dub, 20th century minimalism and homespun ambience at once. Say what you like, it's a long way from Stockholm.
