Digitalis

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Markus’s instrument is the Warr Guitar, a tap-style 8-stringed instrument which is played less lik e a true “guitar” and more like a Chapman Stick. The sound, especially on DIGITALIS, goes through heavy electronic processing, with a resulting sound (like fellow Hypnos label guitarists Jeff Pearce and David Tollefson) that is very un-guitar-like, but with a feel and style of playing that sets it dramatically apart from keyboard-played electronics. DIGITALIS has a bright and vivid sound, as compared to the smooth and mellow tones of Pearce, or the heavier, at times more challenging sound of Tollefson. The end result is a distinctive and beautiful tone color unlike what one would expect from either guitars or synthesizers.

Album Description
In his Hypnos-label debut, master instrumentalist Markus Reuter (of Europa String Choir, and Centrozoon) stakes out his own distinct, new territory in the world of abstract ambient with this strange, compelling journey through swirling, many colored mists. DIGITALIS is bright and yet smooth, musical and yet abstract.

Amazing.......2004-09-30

Markus Reuter absolutely shines with this release: Digitalis. An abstract, yet flowing journey through the perilous battle between the forces of light and darkness, this album earns its place with me amongst the great ambient releases. Markus' use of the Warr touch guitar makes the album even more amazing--it has unique sonic qualities that cannot be matched by digital or other analog instruments.

I am looking forward to future releases from Mr. Reuter. I highly recommend this album to anyone interested in ambient music, or plays the Warr touch-style family of instruments.

Album Description

Digitalis Purpurea is the Siamese twin of Houlque released on Grande Fabrique (Dieppe -F) in 1996. It's tape music composed for sound environments. Between 1989 and 1997, I built approximately twenty sound environments with hundreds of loudspeakers. The installation is still unchanged after all these years : Each loudspeaker is mounted on a wall at the average height of an ear. The loudspeakers are spaced 50cm between each other. What has changed is the place, the space, the rooms where they have been exhibited. These environments were built with the idea to submerge the listener, by the quantity of the loudspeakers. The music has been composed in 8 tracks to spacialize the sound. One track is sent to 5 neighboring loudspeakers. If possible, 4 tracks are on the left and four others on the right, and so, one track can be found in one of every 20 loudspeakers. However, each loudspeaker is a different type, brand, quality and impedance, so the same track send to various groups of loudspeakers don¹t produce the same resulting sound. A group of 5 neighboring loudspeakers receiving the same electric flux, the sound was different by the function of the impedance and the state of the loudspeaker. Even if the music was built in 8 tracks, the experience was giving the impression of a sound different on each loudspeaker. Knowing that, the music has been built to explore sound mass phenomenon, mass music or quiet and continuous sound (as track 4) to hear the variations. An excess of very low frequencies (track 1) or of high frequencies (track 2) are used to push the loudspeakers to their limits. Both tittles of the CDs in addition to most of the names of the tracks are names of plants because there is a similarity between what happens between the loudspeakers and how the plants interact in nature. A long time ago I used to study archaeology, especially experimental archaeology. We tried to build new methonds of finding remains without digging;! just watching the ground and the plants. This is the reason why I have studied the interaction between plants. They grow in groups of different species relating to the nature of the ground. So while doing this kind of archaeology I've spent many days with friends walking in a big forest trying to read the vegetation and the ground. Several years after I began to build these sound environments. The similarities were obvious. The connection of the loudspeakers were creating clusters, but creating variations in function of the kind of matter where was spread on the loudspeakers. The resulting sound was not the same with a loudspeakers spread on concrete, wood, metal or glass. Little by little, in these sound environments the music has disappeared to let place to these resulting sound, but that is another story and will be shown on another record soon to be available on Edition...
