max loderbauer & jacek sienkiewicz: ridges

Ridges is the result of a creative encounter between veteran of improvised avant-electronics Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric, Moritz von Oswald Trio, Ricardo Villalobos) and spiritus movens of Warsaw label Recognition Jacek Sienkiewicz. Deeply introspective and individualistic confrontations between two sensibilities and imaginative worlds give birth to contemplative electronic music at its purest. Both timeless and futuristic, Ridges serves as a perfect antidote to turbo-speed contemporaneity. The work takes its due place among the works of noble pioneers, from Popol Vuh's Transylvanian hymns in Herzog's Nosferatu (1979) and Lionel Marchetti's concrète reports from the glacier to Simon Fisher Turner's Himalayan soundtracks.
