Pete Namlook & Steve Stoll - Hemisphere.nfo
GENERAL INFORMATION
=====================
Album: Hemisphere
Artist: Pete Namlook & Steve Stoll (aka Peter Kuhlmann & Steve Stollmayer)
Year: 1993
Genre: New Age / Electronic / Ambient / Downtempo / Experimental
DESCRIPTION
==================
The tracks on this album were created by Peter Namlook and Steve Stoll and are very much in the atmospheric, ambient, minimalist mould consisting of music which builds carefully with sonic ingredients added slowly and meticulously to the mix. Take the eponymous title track for instance, which takes over eighteen minutes to reach its conclusion, Namlook and Stoll begin with an oscillating bass sequence and gradually draft in various pulses and rhythmic textures which echo, fade and die and are then reborn in subtly different forms with different emphasis given to key rhythms or pulses, with some vaguely unsettling effects added for good measure.
At around the 5.30 mark the track is deconstructed and stripped down focussing on some strange treatments and echoed effects before the music slowly takes off in a similar but not identical direction to that taken previously with some new elements added. At 7.40 approx. a clearer more sustained 'anthem' emerges from the mix which is repeated and accompanied by more varied percussion effects which again eventually dissolve into the sonic ether as Namlook and Stoll reinvent the piece again from almost nothing this time building in more atmosphere and reprising the earlier motif with more strereophonic touches. 'Carbon Theory' is a shorter tone poem clocking in at over 9 minutes and, if anything, is more minimalist than its predecessor starting with a barely discernible low rumble which resonates throughout the piece with simple snatches of melody introduced intermittently. 'Cloud of Orion' continues the agenda this time taking over 23 minutes and including Daria Stollmeyer's voice, minimalist contribution of course, but this time the composers emphasise the rhythms a little more and take longer to create their tapestry and go for a more hypnotic effect adding more keyboard solos towards the end before the obligatory wind down at the end.
'Finally, 'It's Not My Way' starts with seemingly random notes before a much more insistent rhythm takes over the mix and concludes the set with a hybrid of ambient/industrial music incorporating harsher textures than heard previously. All in all, an interesting set for those of a centring nature who like their music to unfold slowly without compromise or concessions to commercialism.
