THN058 >> MIKKEL METAL - CASSINI PIECES
[21.06.2004 | HIGH FIDELITY ELECTRONIC DUB]
Mikkel Metal aka Mikkel Meldgaard was born in 1973 in Horsens,
Denmark and currently lives in the Capital, Copenhagen. Mikkel
completed a degree in Philosophy at the University of Copenhagen
in 2001, and today works with web programming and multimedia,
besides making music.
Music has ever played a big role in Mikkels life, as hes
been a guitarist in one of the earliest noise-rock bands in
Aarhus, Jutland. Equally interested in the introspective sound
of the British shoe gazer-scene (e.g. Ride, My Bloody Valentine)
and the looser low-fi aesthetic of some American bands (e.g.
Pavement, Swirlies) Mikkel was fairly active and tried out
several band-constellations over a period of years. However,
after developing interest in electronic music, Mikkel quickly
changed his musical direction. A sampler was bought and soon
he started experimenting.
The first result was a charming 7 on the Danish label HAL9000
in 2000 , which was at the very top of the De:Bug magazines
chart (#42). This one got followed up by further releases on
the Danish label Echocord, which were very well received within
the electronic scene. Parallel to this, and taking a slightly
different path, Mikkel has issued work to German label Kompakt.
So far this has thrown off two 12 inches. Still continuing
click-aesthetic and dub-influence, the beat on these works is
more 4/4-based, and the production is not quite as dark and
lo-fi. Mikkels release on Thinner - Cassini Pieces - assembles
music that was produced between 2001-2003. It is a nice showcase
of earlier works and his production aesthetics. Its obvious
how homogenous these works are, as they all move within the
same approach to electronic dub.
Especially Solko is not a track, its a song that perfectly
reflects Mikkels skills as songwriter. Other tracks, such as
Third and Abank slowly move ahead with crisp effects and
glittering delays. The Off The Sky remix of Solko carefully
decrumbs the original song, to give it an enlightening touch
with the warm pads and sonar beeps. Lufth remixes Third in
very melting way, where the clean original song liquidly
floats by. The energetic minimal Pheno is slowed down by
krill.minima, who applies the wah-wah on a rather downbeaty
construction. Finally, Theodor Zox warms up for his upcoming
Thinner EP, by transforming the gentle Abank into an
advanced cracking minimalhouse burner.
