[DE] Der Musiker, Komponist und Videokünstler Frank Bretschneider arbeitet an einem vorwiegend elektronisch erzeugten Werk. Es basiert auf minimalen, repetitiven Strukturen und verschachtelten Texturen, deren vielschichtiger Klang von Experimentieranordnungen der modernen Physik inspiriert zu sein scheint. Nach seiner Zeit in der Avantgarde-Pop-Band AG Geige definiert Bretschneider seit den 1990er Jahren, vor allem im Umfeld des Labels raster, den Sound von zeitgenössischem Techno maßgeblich mit. Was in der Clubmusik oft als Dogma vorausgesetzt wird – der Groove –, erscheint bei ihm prekär und instabil. Puls und Akzent sind flüchtige Dinge, die immer wieder neu gefunden werden müssen. So wirkt Bretschneiders Musik wie ein konstanter Aushandlungsprozess in einem kontinuierlichen, sich ständig wandelnden Fluss der Ereignisse; nie eindeutig, ständig unruhig und aufregend.
[EN] The musician, composer, and video artist Frank Bretschneider is currently working on a piece that is mostly electronic. It is based on minimal, repetitive structures and intricate textures whose complex sound seems to be inspired by the experimental arrangements of modern physics. After his time in the avant-garde pop band AG Geige, Bretschneider has played a major role in shaping the sound of contemporary techno music since the 1990s, in particular through the label raster. In Bretschneider’s hands, the groove – something that is often presumed to be dogma in the world of club music – seems precarious and unstable. Pulse and accent are ephemeral, needing to be rediscovered time and again. As a result, Bretschneider’s music feels like a constant negotiation within a continuous, ever-changing stream of occurrences; never straightforward, always restless and exciting.
