‚Oval‘ marks Konrad Kraft’s third release on the German label ‚aufabwegen\/Cologne‘, and is his second release in his current series. Clear textures, wobbling rhythm structures and unexpected melodic particles develop into unusual soundscapes. Blurred and foggy layers give way to clear musical accents.During the recording of the album, KK used mangled and destroyed field recordings, only two software synths and a modular synthesizer. Making use of his favorite modules, he merged the two worlds of sound design, digital and analogue. The result makes interesting listening.
A limited edition of 10 albums containing line drawings by Detlef Funder in the format of a square LP is also available (Oval 1 \u2013 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
