N.Stahl.N is another new project for me and it’s in line on the more experimental side of noise. N.Stahl.N utilizes field recordings, analog and digital manipulations and amplified household objects to name a few. The first three tracks are stated to be based on live material prepare for a concert and sounds like that is very much true. The sounds are very light moving and range all over the place. The first track, Heimwerk, is 7 minutes and starts off fairly simply with a few bashes and light clangs here and there then at 4ish minutes there’s an amplified sound, ok something different, but then at 5ish minutes this synth drone comes in and I start to drool…amazing movement in this track. I was just beginning to get bored and the artist all of the sudden gets my mind racing. Loved it! Track 2, Hackstruck, at 5 minutes long starts off much the same as the first. Sounds of metal hits and taps with some creepy scraping sounds but this time there’s a Geiger counter sounding drum pattern going on. Track 3, Heimawerk II, at 6 minutes is probably the simplest track on here. Nothing good or bad, just there. Track 4, Hacktruck II, is at 16 minutes and there’s a lot going on in this track. Some of the noise I can’t really describe but it’s very interesting indeed. It’s very fast paced and rhythmic. There’s an odd high-hat sample at very fast BPM and while this is going on there’s some odd breathing sounds and a light drone. At 6 minutes the track begins fade from a musical quality to more experimental sounds with some weird bleep samples that start to go into a rhythmic pattern once again. At 10 minutes some vocals from D.Niehues come in and almost appear to be reversed. Not sure if that’s the case though but the track soon fades from this and ends with some light "house hold odd sounds". Overall this was a very unique sounding 34 minutes and it’s something that sounds in the same territory as Big City Orchestra. The artwork is great and looks laser printed too, like the other releases. Defiantly something to check out from Krakilsk.
