rant

apolonien

Press info:

On "apolonien," recorded during the same studio sessions as their preceding album "sheets of fibrous material" (Ma Records), rant has decided to follow a strictly minimalist approach both sonically and structurally. For over a year Merle Bennett and Torsten Papenheim have crafted, rehearsed, performed, and recorded the two pieces for their new album:

saumselig for percussion and guitar and seligsaum for paper and cardboard objects.

Two organically evolved compositions that take their time and give each individual idea ample space for development. Forms of abstract beauty that resonate in the present.

Quotes from international press:

A quiet yet highly powerful piece of free musical art.
Karsten Zimalla, Westzeit, Germany

Their decision to partially abandon their usual instruments in favor of natural material is once again astonishing. And it is highly musical to boot. Such radicalism is surely necessary, especially in times of a growing loss of aesthetic radicalism.
Andreas Fellinger, freiStil, Austria
