Notes
German multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer and control freak t is back with his 5th album. After fronting the German artrock masterminds SCYTHE and 4 highly acclaimed solo albums, he took two years to write, perform, mix, produce and co-master FRAGMENTROPY, a 75 minute epic music poem. T, as always, played all the instruments and also sang all parts on the album.
T, also vaguely known as Thomas Thielen, has always been a musician. His parents had him classically educated as a piano player as well as a singer from early childhood on, but as the girls in his class seemed to fancy guitar players more when he attended the 7th grade, his main interest shifted in his not-quite-so-early childhood. Today he admits to being a strictly under-average musician with quite a few instruments none of which he is capable of playing properly.
From early band efforts on, t has also always been interested in sound issues and thus kept on learning how to arrange, record, mix, and produce. Hence, writing, arranging and mixing have become entangled in his creative procedures, as is traceable in the idiosyncratic sound textures and frequent against-the-grain implementation of instruments and voices. His music has always been known for its combination of resonating melodies, avantgarde soundscaping and strangely natural sounding odd metres.
His new album FRAGMENTROPY is a transfer of classic epic poetry into music in three chapters.
FRAGMENTROPY
As in all good stories, there are two. Bound by a force they don't understand. Reflections of the same White Hole, trojans in their self-schemes, each other's poison and remedy at once.
As in all good stories, there's love. Love in derailed universes, stumbling through self-built time warps, condemned to hope for redemption. Love like Orpheus and Ophelia, Romeo and Nora, Cynderella and Clyde.
As in all good stories, there's a journey. From need to will. From what you deemed lost to being found. From compulsion to acceptance. And from grey to silver.
And, as in all good stories, there is no end. There is only parting. And all stars just bitter punctuation. Fragments in the flow of entropies. Just like us.
