new!
I produced a new track for the up and coming Chinese Bypass netlabel. The track is called ‘Parts Apart‘ and has now been released on ‘The Nines‘ (BP033), a compilation featuring artists from around the world, like Lackluster, Syndrôm, Randomform and many others.

Thanks a lot to ZhangJW for all the work and effort!
... a one man music project by Austrian bedroom producer Herwig Holzmann, hovering somewhere between Ambient, Breakbeats, Electronica, Soundscapes, IDM and Field recordings.
I’ve been invited by ‘Radio Heckenklescher’ to talk about my different music projects. The show has been aired live on April 14, 2009 on Radio Helsinki. In case you’ve missed it (of course you have), here’s the live recording:

My new album Memplex has just been released on laridae.at, of course as free netrelease, instantly downloadable for your listening pleasure.
On Memplex you will get a calmed down mixture of Electronica, Ambient and Trip Hop soundscapes, spized with tons of field recordings. It should please those of you, who’ve enjoyed my early works like Digitalis, Within, or About The Living Things – or those who are in favour of artists like Boards of Canada and Arovane.
Also check out the artwork, featuring different macro photos for each track:

Holy shit, another year has passed and I only released one single album in 2008. That’s (quantitatively speaking) the worst result since I started to release my music. I vow to improve and will therefor start into 2009 with a fresh new full length album:
Memplex will be released on laridae.at in early January 2009 and will please those of you, who’ve enjoyed my early works like Digitalis and Within, or the calmed down, oldschool flavored About The Living Things. What to expect from Memplex? Well, be prepared for 11 neat and (more or less) catchy Electronica / Ambient / BoC-style soundscapes, spized with tons of field recordings and several other secret ingredients.
In the meantime: Merry Christmas and a happy new Year! See you in 2009!
Uh, time is going by so fast. November is about to end again and just as every year I seize the chance to refer to my Ambient album “November 30th“, released on great netlabel tonAtom in 2005. Best heard while going for a calmed down dreamy foggy thoughtful autumn walk. You won’t regret it.

Mit Mittag, 22. Jahrhundert schufen Boris und Arkadi Strugatzki den Auftakt zu ihrem lose verknüpften Roman-Zyklus im Mittags-Universum, einem Zukunftsentwurf, der laut dem russischen Autoren-Bruderpaar “eine Welt darstellt, von der wir träumen, eine Welt, in der wir gern leben und arbeiten würden, eine Welt, für die zu leben und zu arbeiten wir uns heute bemühen.” more »
Ein Kultbuch, und das zurecht. In Ocean of Sound beschreibt David Toop, selbst aktiver Musikjournalist und Produzent, die Entstehungsgeschichte der Ambient-Musik. Neben richtungsweisenden Musikern wie Erik Satie, John Cage, Sun Ra und natürlich Brian Eno werden vor allem die verschiedenen, subjektiven Zugänge zum Genre dargestellt und sehr stimmig beschrieben. more »
On October 10, 2008, I will play live at the Postgarage in Graz, at the Elevate Tourstop, along with acts like Microthol, Sterling, Simon/off, M.A.R.S., Winterphonic, SlickDevlan, silent.wolf, distrojan and die lendmaschine. What can you expect? A completely overworked liveset with several brandnew tracks as well as some polished classics. Goto: www.elevate.at
Ein eher unbekannter Roman des grandiosen russischen Autoren-Bruderpaares, dem das Etikette “Phantastik” im Grunde weit besser steht als das der “Science Fiction“. Zeitlich ist die Handlung in einer nicht näher bestimmten Gegenwart angesiedelt, räumlich in einigen wenigen Wohnungen eines russischen Hochhauses. Das Werk könnte beinahe schon als Bühnenstück durchgehen, so reduziert gehen Boris und Arkadi Strugazki hier an die literarische Arbeit. more »
Die Annahme, Science-Fiction (bzw. ihr osteuropäisches Pendant, die “Wissenschaftliche Phantastik“) würde (wolle/könne) etwas über die reale Zukunft aussagen, ist ja ein weit verbreiteter Irrtum - und wohl auch einer der Gründe, warum Science-Fiction-Literatur nur allzu oft vollkommen hirnrissigen Bewertungskriterien unterworfen wird. more »
