With this 12″ Maxi Single release of two ambiq tracks, from the previous album “ambiq", remixed by Ricardo Villalobos and Tobias Freund, arjunamusic is introducing a new series which brings electro-acoustic music into a alternative techno-environment.! After the release of ambiq on arjunamusic, pioneers in electro- acoustic soundscapes, Max Loderbauer, Samuel Rohrer and Claudio Puntin invite Riccardo Villalobos and Tobias for a remixed EP. The three musicians who came together to form ‘ambiq’ act as a chamber music ensemble with a contemporary background. Chamber musicians, sound engineers and composers when rolled into one form a wonderfully organic sound. Definitions of musical style, compositional techniques or sound guises are rendered superfluous in light of this self-evident performance. Ricardo Villalobos, also well known for spearheading a genre, has been at the forefront of minimal techno since the early 2000’s. His aesthetic of stripped down rhythms and repetition finds the obscure sounds of ambiq track - Tund harmoniously. With a constant bass in the forefront of the rhythm, the chimes and other m!ystifying sounds act as a distraction to captivate the ear. Tobias, resident at Berlin club institution, Berghain, takes on another approach to the track Toxic Underground. Tobias creates a haunting extension of the original piece bringing forward eerie minimal twangs similar to the frequencies that slip past you in an underground tunnel. There is a grating discord to the remix. Classic in Tobias’s abrasive yet sparse style he offers listeners a m!inimal and industrially brooding remix.
