[KSR034] Microscopy by Sven Laux

Whoever said “good things come in small packages” must have been talking about Sven Laux’s microcomposition. A leader in this new wave of music, Laux’s is a particular breed of minimal that you have to think about to truly understand. Listen at a distance, and it’s the kind of skittering beats that have earned Laux titles like “micro symphonist.” Listen closely, and you can hear every intricate cog turning. Ever a lover of the obscure and the weird, Laux swings from animated min tech to moments of languid ambience with ease, as evidenced in his latest effort, KSR034. The five-track release under Klangscheiben Records pairs peculiar samplings and interjections with those signature clicks, beeps, and small sounds. Micro symphony, indeed.

Since summer 2004 the aficionado label Klangscheiben runs its business with dedication to the mini-funk with maximum effect. To offer also the opportunity to book careful selected artists from the label, Klangscheiben is not just a label furthermore, but also a booking agency which is separated as Klangscheiben Booking.
