Funkwelten is a side label of the German gothic/dark electro label Black Rain. On Funkwelten more complex electronic music is released. Flint Glass produces music somewhere between IDM, electronica and industrial. The tracks are mostly evolving sound structures. They begin quiet and develop into more rhythmic (sometimes hectic) sound sculptures that have a sort of quiet ending. The title track and ‘Dust Particles’ are good examples of this.
The mood is mostly dark and haunting. This is due to the sounds and subtle melodies in the background that complement the rhythms. On this cd is also the Dahshur EP, which makes this disc, with 18 tracks and almost 78 minutes of music, a rather tiring listening experience. Highly recommended to fans of the music by acts like Autechre and Gridlock.
Flint Glass, with his first release ‘Hierakonpolis’, appears already in the foreground of finest electronica. Like an architect who built up his constructions in different layers and channels, Flint Glass works with this method by using only sampling tools.
"Hierakonpolis" could be compared, in some ways, to projects like Autechre, Beefcake or For a Space ; but the sounds of this album have already surged off on a totally different, and very personal tangent.
Almost everything imaginable in sounds is being collected, deconstructed and rebuilt afterwards.
This is a unique and vast collection of sounds, ranging from catchy melodies and samples mercilessly interrupted by distorted beats.
The cold polyrhythmic drumcodes are bet into a melted ambiance of different experimentations. It's the warm timbre of this dark ambient recording which creates its own unique sonic profile.
