KULKU - BOHEMIAN DRIPS PRESENTS: KULKU (LP)

"By releasing "bohemian drips presents: Kulku" the Berlin imprint presents their third binaural production. After working within the spaces of the "KINDL - Center for Contemporary Art", the label took the next challenge by leveling up the reverb times and working with an eight-head collective of "genious dilletants" inside the ancient water reservoirs of Berlin, Pankow. These tanks provide, with their reverberation times from 6 to 18 seconds, a more than astonishing surrounding for this recording session. Kulku's acoustical sound sources and instruments, reaching from old wooden organ pipes, to xylophones, timpani, scrap metal and kids toys, creates an apocalyptical scenery that is strongly referencing within its construction to contemporary compositions of Avantgarde music like Steve Reich, György Ligeti or Carl Orff. The almost never ending, deep resonance of the tanks that served the band and the label's producers as a frame for the recordings, created sounds from a extraterrestrial sphere which formed a modern kind of "Trance Music" - "Primitive Music" as the band named it themselves. By the use of dummy head microphones "bohemian drips presents: Kulku" is able to transport the initial trance effect of this record straight to the listener - the 360-degree soundscape takes us back into the tanks and offers a completely unique experience of sound."
