In 1996 Gerhard Behles and I attended the
International Computer Music Conference in
Hong Kong. I took the chance to capture
field recordings in and around Hong Kong and
Guangzhou. The trip was very inspiring, and
we believe that the music we created
afterwards reflects the atmosphere and mood
of this experience. For the compilation of
our first vinyl releases to a CD album in
1997, we not only chose the title Hongkong,
but also refined the original songs with
material derived from the field recordings I
made. We also added a previously unreleased
closing title that is based on a recording
captured in a subway train of Hong Kong's
public transport.

For the re-release we decided to go for a
new mastering, since the experience with the
Interstate album was so great. The mastering
of this album went equally well and adds a
lot to the original recordings. We also
decided to remove the track Index I from the
remastered version. It simply doesn't fit
in, and we already had discussions about it
in 1997. Now it's gone and it will find a
new home online later and on vinyl.

Produced by Gerhard Behles and Robert Henke
1995-1997. Ambient recordings captured in
Hong Kong & Guangzhou 1996. Synthesizer solo
on Mass Transit Railway by Wieland Samolak.
Mastering of the second edition by Rashad
Becker, edits by Robert Henke.

sad skidam

enivej, on ima bas finih stvari, albuma. na DPu prosle godine mi se nesto jako svidelo (on sam, intervju koji je dao mom prijatelju za politiku pa mi je preneo kakav je lik, instalacija + mjuz u CZKDu) a nesto 'onako' (u muzeju savremene)
svidja mi se i tako odakel crpi ideje, mislim moze se videti po njegovim pricama
lejering buda je isto najs

od svih tih oldskul (i manje vise poznatih) "idm" umentika sam njega najmanje slusala, valjda zato sto nisam imala albume itd, nemam neki pravi razlog

[pawwa]

Meni se od Henke-ovih radova najmanje svideo Hong Kong, možda zato što sam ga najmanje slušao, ili jednostavno pošto je starije izdanje ('97. je originalno izdanje). Čak ne znam ni da li bi se tebi svidelo vsnrs (javi), jer ima dosta 4X4 (nepopularno nazvanih "tuc-tuc") ritmova. Tehnotično, ambientalno, čak bih rekao da ima i momenata karakterističnih za psybient. Meni zvuči sirovo i staro, anti-timeless i lošije od sličnih radova u to vreme (mislim na Basic Chanel ekipu recimo).

Mene su privukli njegovi kasniji radovi: Cinemascope (omiljena Cubicle, ali i mnoge druge) i Momentum. Čak i Polygon Cities ima dobrih stvari, u njegovom standardnom dub, breaks, tehnotičnom ambient stilu. Super su i novi techno orjentisani radovi (Alaska, Melting...).

Nastup na DP-u više nema smisla ni da komentarišem - dosadio sam svima : D

[сталкер]

Meni je taj stari Hong Kong manje-više, nije od albuma koji su me privukli. Ja sam prvo čuo, čini mi se, Polygon Cities, i to mi je bilo vrlo dobro, mada mi je delovalo malo statično. U smislu, ne razvija se naročito nijedan trek, već samo blago menja postojeće stanje. Ali to je njegov stil inače, tako da sam se navikao i shvatam to kao deo identiteta... Momentum mi je najverovatnije broj 1, ali sam se ložio jako i na Alaska Melting, kao i od skora na onu ambientalu, Gobi The Desert.

On je meni inače super lik, baš me oduševio prošle godine.


P.S. - jel' ovo "monolak" u nazivu teme sprdnja ili samo typo? pošto zvuči super, haha, ali ja ispravio u mom reply subjectu, za svaki slučaj...

[vsnrs]

tzpo ja sam tpo master inace..

[vsnrs]

ahhahahha
izvinite ljudi

[pawwa]

Heh i ja sam mislio da je fora, dobro je hehe - monolak : D

Ja njegovu muziku doživljavam kao neverovatan rad sa kick-ovima i tim low-end delom. Mislim da je on bukvalno zbog tih kick-ova razvio to njegovo čuveno drmasanje glavom

[pawwa]

I mene lol, i druga : D

[Nemanja]

meni je ovo skroz super, ali da cujem tako negde gde ima puno ljudi, da sam popio pivo itd ...
ali ovako u kucnoj varijanti mi nesto i ne prija.

[сталкер]

LOL, bolje i da ne gledam

Meni je tada falilo malo više tih njegovih polu-ambientalnih momenata, nekako je bilo "suvlje" nego što sam navikao od njega.

[trišmegišto]

ovaj snimak me je podsetio da moram da se šišam

Performance for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound by Christopher Bauder & Robert Henke (aka Monolake)

A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.

Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events. Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form.


The height of the helium balloons is adjusted with a computer-controlled cable, whilst the internal illumination is accomplished using dimmable super-bright LEDs, creating a pixel in a warped 8x8 spatial matrix.

The sonic events, the patterns of light, and the movement of the balloons are manipulated in real time as a 45-60 minute-long performance.
