DESCRIPTION
==================
Translated from German:
The Chemnitzer electronic musician Uwe Rottluff has his second album, which appeared in the fall of 2016 and for which he took two years time, called "Petrified Forest", which means translated petrified forest. And this title is no coincidence, because in Chemnitz there is this petrified forest, which is an important paleobotanical fossil site. Inspired by his friend, the well-known designer and author Jochen Voigt, Uwe Rottluff aka Wellenvorm has recorded a concept album on this topic.
The volcano awakens, the Apocalypse begins. A huge blast breaks and destroys everything that stands in her way. Thousands of trees are defoliated, branches and branches are broken. Powerful trunks up to thirty meters high bend over like matches. Glowing clouds of ash are rolling down to the valley, billions of small pumice stones are raining down on the landscape. At the most powerful places, this material piles up 90 meters above the still living forest. This event is 291 million years back. After the eruption, silica seeps into the buried trunks, which slowly turn to stone over the course of cosmic periods.
What Uwe so describes on his homepage is not invented, but represents the primeval scenario or inferno, on which his current hometown Chemnitz stands. The stone structures are a world-famous natural monument that has now been set to music by him musically.
That Uwe was influenced by the "Berlin School", you can hear in some parts of the new album. But those who now believe that Wellenvorm is an imitation offender are completely wrong, because the music shows enough independent forms.
Although there are ten tracks with run times between 0:56 and 10:02 minutes of playing time on the CD, the album can be considered as a soundtrack that musically transforms various scenes. Let's go to the 6:23 minute "Perm". Mystical synth sounds start in this opener, which is determined by slightly pulsating and howling sounds. That sounds pretty rough at first and lets the jagged rock formations appear before my eyes. After a little more than two minutes, harmonies come up and I have the feeling of flying over the stone landscape (looks like a tracking shot over the rugged, stone area).
Although "Twilight" has some harmonies and slight melodic approaches, Uwe mainly creates mood pictures with his electronic instruments. The ten-minute "Thunder" is bombastic with "Berliner Schule" drafts. These are just a few impressions of the individual pieces, from which you can not really take out one, because you have to hear the album completely. And so Uwe fancies the imagination of the listener over the full running time of just over 58 minutes. He uses some unusual sounds and effects that keep the album exciting.
Uwe Rottluff aka Wellenvorm fires the head cinema with numerous pictures with his CD "Pertified Forest". I can well imagine how the music looks like pictures of the petrified forest near Chemnitz. A captivating album, which deals with the main part of the term with moods and sound collages and still acts very catchy and binds to the pits. - Stephan Schelle, November 2016
