Fetisch Park is Carla Subito and Marlon Shy. Together they were recording music, writing books, doing photography and were involved in other activities as well. Fetisch Park dissolved in 1999, Carla Subito has now activated the band again and has already played live in 2008. Ego Ex Nihil means, freely translated from Latin language, something like "I out of nothing" and was registered during the pregnancy of one Fetisch Park member by sound researcher and compositor Carla Subito. The inspiration of growing belly, the enormous capacity of stretching of an originally small organ, the tightness of its living content pushed us towards the question how one feels inside the worm, wet, probably dark chamber. As communication by the normal means of looking and talking cannot be performed in this early nevertheless important period of human life, there must be other ways to express feelings: by receiving touches and sounds from outside, the little human may give answers, sort of signs. Attentive mothers with healthy instincts just know how to decode those delicate, mysterious indications in the proper way. Around the eighteenth week the fetus can hear, the ear is fully developed. It is possible to manipulate the baby by sound, noises and music negative and positive. So the sound should neither excite too much nor should it be boring because the baby cannot escape. The best result is a state of attentive relaxation. As the experiments on eight babies show, the proposed music reaches this aim. After the children were born, only one out of eight reacted not in the manner desired: the child did not show any reaction at all, as if the music did not touch her. All the others were clearly familiar with the sound and were either relaxed or stimulated. These delightful results should be accessible to other children and parents everywhere. Unfortunately, there are few people out there who heard this German band. Its too bad, since Fetisch Park deserved so much more. In particular, this album is an interesting exercise in ambient/minimalism - first track "Tau im licht" is very emotional & moving, which is quite unusual for such genre as minimalism. Very soft & warm tracks usually have similar structure: there's something similar to the sound of xylophone, very nice & relaxing & melody (or texture) is evolving very slowly. It also has some similarity to sounds that church bells are making, which is not a coincidence - one of the two people from this band worked in church before forming it. Their later albums are totally different in direction (Alluvial is more closer to techno, though it still has nothing to do with mainstream, while Trost is more agressive), but still have real quality, since this band sounds like nobody else. Band broke up in 1999, but left behind some of the most enigmatic & challenging electronic/minimal music ever recorded. |
