Wabi Sabi is a staggering sounding, beautifully packaged and
simply significant contemporary electronic album by Marcus
Schmickler out of the thriving German underground music scene.
Schmickler has one release under his own name on the Odd Size
label in France, and was a contributing member of POL and
Kontakta on the same label. Most recently he released the
exceptional Pluramon Pick Up Canyon album on the Mille Plateaux
label (which featured the guest drumming of Jaki Liebezeit).
This CD consists of two pieces: "Wabi Sabi" -- a devastating 33
minute 2-channel spatial composition that mixes gorgeous flowing
electronics ala Francois Bayle with moments radio-static density
and transcending sound waves. "Param" is a shorter work of
2-channel, powerfully droning electronics. "The pair of terms
wabi and sabi are expressions of an attitude towards life that
draw the power of artistic creation from silence and decay. in
