Various Pop Ambient 2023

A contemporary product of tireless capitalism has been a trend called slowness for several years now. In order to counteract the perceived fast pace of the times in which we live with some deceleration, sustainability and relaxation, phenomena such as slow food, slow travel, slow fashion or even slow cruising, the tourist navigation of the world's oceans with somewhat smaller cruise ships, were introduced “off the mainstream”. , brought into the world.

The fact that slowness is more than the opposite of speed, that elements, things, sounds that move as if in slow motion develop a special power, precision, aesthetics and beauty, does not need to be explained twice to ambient musicians. The 23rd Edition of the Pop Ambient compilation, as always put together by Wolfgang Voigt, is no exception, but instead proves it. Already with the first tracks by Leandro Fresco/Thore Pfeiffer, Gen Pop (Burger, Pfeiffer, Werden), Morgen Werden feat. Tetsuroh Konishi and Max Werden through to Triola's dark and melancholy “Copper Blossom”, we are struck by the feeling of a slowness and calm that we have never experienced before, of an extremely lively standstill. A mental state that is similar to dreams in which we are paralyzed, yet awake and alert, following the strange events.

The Cologne-based Sono collective, an association of experimental artists Annie Bloch, Stefanie Grawe, Joel Jaffe, Alex Linster, Luis Weiß, Moritz Riesenbeck, Lukas Schäfer, Emily Wittbrodt and Max Werden, is represented for the first time with two contributions on Pop Ambient . The two works, the fragile “Bolzano Sessions IV” and the rather light-flooded “Bolzano Sessions V” (only on CD and included in the digital version) nestle perfectly into the musical entirety of this year's compilation, not only in terms of their majestic leisureliness .

In Jens-Uwe Beyer's “Nero”, melancholic guitar chords reduced to the bare essentials are carried away like leaves in the wind, the reverberation holds the last note for so long that it almost stops in your ear. If you like it synesthetically, take a look at the once again gorgeous cover artwork by Veronika Unland at this very moment. Colors and shapes in which there is both everything and nothing to discover. Both feel equally right.

The last third of Pop Ambient 2023 begins with Reich & Werden's herbaceous “Receiver”, a track so dignified and carried by pads reminiscent of the sound of bagpipes that it plays the Queen's 8-hour funeral ceremony on a continuous loop - a wonderful example, by the way for the spiritual interaction of deceleration and precision, which at some point turns into a trance - would have been perfectly underlined.

In the end, slowness is joined by togetherness: pop ambient veteran Joachim Spieth collaborates on his literally weightless “Air” with the American sound artist zakè, Thore Pfeiffer has the wonderful “Instinkt” with the Scottish brothers Andy and Mike Truscott aka Kinbrae produced together. The Californian duo Patrick Hills and Morgan Fox aka Blank Gloss close the vinyl version with the wistful “Down At The Heel”, while this honor goes to debutant Ümit Han on the Pop Ambient CD. “Victory over evil” brings us painfully back to reality in all its beauty.
