JACK ELLISTER - lichtpyramide II CD

Lim. to 500 (white blue marbled), Gatefold Cover, Download-Card.
"After the positive welcome of last year’s’ Lichtpyramide’ album, we’re excited to present the second installment in this series of loops and short musical experiments, recorded to tape at Jack’s home studio in South East London. While still keeping traditional songwriting at bay, he has another go at free form eclecticism and instant composing, this time leaning a tad more towards the electronic side of sounds. An array of synthesizers, guitars, percussion and effect boxes, arranged around a loop station, are his main tools for providing ambient textures, repetitive motives, evolving patterns and spacey melodies. There are fewer spoken word moments than on the first Lichtpyramide album but the languages used are German, Polish and English. For the lyrics of 'Genesang: Der Mensch', a poem by South German writer and humanist Friedrich Hoelderlin was used (’Der Mensch’). Sula Bassana (Electric Moon) lent a hand in ‘Noorderlicht’ and ‘Rotierende Reisenbahn’."
