about

It all started with five sketchbooks and the 1977 film Opening Night by John Cassavetes. The camera carefully scans rooms and figures, dialogues and images spiraling and winding their way into situations, Cassavetes places his pieces together with near-false couplings and then, all of a sudden, lets them snap off. Analogous to the filmmaker’s work, the Leipzig based musician Ergin Erteber, who acts under the name Innere Tueren, demonstrates a sense for precision, tempo and mood, exposes, compiles fragments into a shimmering, ephemeral whole. Fractured moments that must pass again. Everything remains volatile and fragile. Erteber, who has always seen himself more as a DJ than as a producer, as someone who compiles, arranges and groups, works almost exclusively with samples and field recordings on opening night, Innere Tueren’s album which is to be released on the Berlin label A Futura Memoria these days. Not so much piles of machines and cables, but only a laptop placed on the gut and inner turmoil. And while the student version of Ableton 8, installed years ago, lies unused on the computer, those five sketchbooks fill up with titles to pieces that do not yet exist. Collecting Titles. To be more precise: These are pieces that have not yet been produced, while situations, mood and sound have somehow been stored just by holding on to the titles, have inscribed themselves into the titles. Somewhere between 2015 and 2018 Erteber finally began to group sounds around those titles, creating about 500 sketches, fragments or pieces whose genesis—even for Erteber—is no longer clearly traceable, somehow blurred today. Coagulated moments that are closely intertwined with the time of their creation. On Opening Night, the musician puts 14 of these pieces together to form a body of work, which in the in-between of its individual, collaged fragments suggests cracks, breaks that allow us to catch a glimpse at that which pop music—with all its grand gestures—has long since promised us: a universal language. A promise which, however, must remain a promise, or rather: only materializes for brief moments and then vanishes again. Finally, a sound-formed search for that wholeness which Janet Adler, sampled on the piece Wanting Wholeness, wishes for. The attempt of an approximation of how things might be.

Unreleased Works 1994-1999 (Volumes 1 & 2)
by James Bernard

James Bernard confuses time. These suite of tracks play tricks with you, everytime you listen to 'em. Some times fast, sometimes slow, sometimes scary, sometimes mellow. All I can say, is that's its always beautiful no matter what time of the day you play. So nice to feel the 90's so close again. Polly Jean Neon Queen

An amazingly diverse yet unremittingly moody collection of ambient and down-tempo music. If you've been craving some melancholy sci-fi flavour in the soundtrack to your life, this might be the album for you. Ben Harris
