Schatten & Lichter

Drone and loosely formed experimental in the realm of Starving Weirdos, Zac Nelson, and Natural Snow Buildings. Layered “nightmarish playgrounds,” with found sounds by German, Johannes Schebler, who calls his music “Bavarian Gothic.” Compositions are short, so they work well as a soundbed in your set, and may frustrate the late night djs because of their brevity. My dreams sound like this, don’t yours? All tracks great. Klingt gut für mich!

1. Slowly building experimental sounds. (2:32)
2. Dreamy flute drug trip in space. (2:03)
*3. Clanging wood blocks percussion and droning organ. Beautiful. (3:30)
*4. More woodwind percussion weirdness, really awesome cyclic drone. (3:10)
5. Uncomfortable, kind of frightening drones and clatterings. Recommended for horror/Halloween themed. (3:47)
6. Cooing vocals, tapping keys, and pretty drifting with an air of unease. (2:09)
*7. More woodblocks, ghost walking, and accordion. Beautiful stuff that reminds me of Natural Snow Buildings. (2:29)
8. Looped, reversing tones, and warm intensity. (2:15)
*9. Another droning pretty blanket of sound with chimey and tuned percussion thrown in. (3:27)
10. Choral layers of lingering relaxation fed through some industrial machines. Buzzy but still dreamy and blissed out. (4:43)
