RCD 2101 - Phonophani: Kreken
”Kreken” is the fourth album from Phonophani, aka Espen Sommer Eide, possibly Norway's most original and inventive electronica musician today. In addition to being a multi-instrumentalist he is also a digital electronics expert, programmer and instrument builder, which goes a long way in explaining why he doesn't sound much like anything else. His music is about rediscovering the great mystery of music through dissecting the sound of ordinary or ”real” instruments such as cello, vibraphone, guitars and the human voice and dissolving melodies into their elementary particles. While he has previously turned his attention to other cultures and traditions, with ”Kreken” he has now tuned his ears to Norway's own traditional folk music and instruments, it's melodic content and special tuning systems, all treated electronically in one way or another. Among the guests are Jenny Hval (Rockettothesky) and American guitarist David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol, The Red Krayola).
Also available as a very special limited edition in only 250 numbered copies.

Kreken is perhaps Sommer Eide’s most personal record to date. It is also his richest and most complex. The acoustic nature of his sound sources is apparent throughout, and tints the record with beautiful tonal nuances, from the earthy drones of a violin or the stern thuds of a drum to the spritely elans of a flute, but these are submitted to intense processing, often distorting them or warping them beyond recognition. Layered into fragile formations, these take on an infinite number of shapes, from the spellbinding jig of Kvaale II or the wonderful textures of the title track to the warm accordion motif of closing piece Ilka, and contribute greatly to make Kreken an extremely colourful and pastoral work... A true original and an inspired artist, Espen Sommer Eide has once again created with Kreken a work that is like no other, and while he in essence sticks to a formula which has until now proven extremely successful, his approach is totally different, and pushes into territories he has never ventured in before. He has, with every new Phonophani record, become more confident in his method. This record is the work of a visionary musician at his creative peak. 4.9/5.
The Milk Factory (UK)
There's a tendency in much recent electronica to fill up silence with activity, as if the listener can be transported by maxing out the available audio space. On "Kreken", instrument builder Espen Sommer Eide posits that it's possible to achieve a rarefied, surreal intensity without overdosing the listener on input. Key to Eide's approach in keeping one ear on melody and the other on texture. Throughout, Eide keeps everything one step shy of the acousmatic ideal, every instrumental colour hovering between familiar and alien, and grafted onto diverse, assymetrical song structures. Eide's sensitive ear for arrangement shows most plainly in how he incorporates the human voice. Three different vocalists appear, and Eide foregrounds them without making his compositions more conventional. He fades them in and out of the flow of the pieces, insinuates their phrasing into the rhythms and lets them suggest new directions. He pushes the croon beyond intimacy towards a more interior, imaginary space, a place that's all the more intense by being so hard to get to.
The Wire (UK)
While Espen Sommer Eide's pastoral ambient project Phonophani has been most notable in the past for using live instruments, deconstructed in real time, to build his soundscapes, this conceit has always been a bit tenuous to the casual listener. In a live setting, it's a grand theatrical flourish to watch process-based art take shape, but the documentation of those processes, while pleasantly beautiful on their own, do feel a bit light when the mechanism has more promise than the result. With Kreken, however, Eide has settled on a recapitulation of the traditional music of Norway through the lens he has been chiseling over the past 12 years. Electronic textures wither into re-imagined reed and vocal tropes that are less faithful reproduction, and more evocative musical euphemisms of lands of moss, campfire and tundra. The album also benefits significantly from the vocal contributions of three female Norwegian singers: Jenny Hval, Haco and Agnethe Christensen. On "Neverdal" in particular, the vocals are treated subtly to reveal their inherent polyphonic vocal overtones, especially in conjunction with the warmly wheezing processed bellows and zither. That Eide writes all his own sound manipulation algorithms may be beside the point, but it does imbue the proceedings with a sense of the unattainable, that this is a statement that was not just made, but created exclusively as a means to its own end. Fans of the Fonal label, and particularly the distinctly Finnish sounds of ES, Paavoharju or Islaja would do well to make note of this release, as it is a very succinct take on ideas that have been mined from a parallel nature. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

Espen Sommer Eide macht aus Hard Core-Elektronik wunderliche Sanglichkeiten. Die Dekonstruktion alter Folk-Instrumente produziert neue Wege des Erschauerns.
Michael Engelbrecht, Deutschlandfunk (DE)
Der Elektroniker, Computermusiker, Programmierer, Instrumentenbauer und Multiinstrumentalist Espen Sommer Eide verlegt sich hier – nach extensiver Rock’n’Roll- und Computermusikvergangenheit – ausgerechnet aufs Brauchtum, auf traditionelle (Volks-)Musiken, ihre Instrumente, ihre Gesange und ihre digitale Verfremdung. Alle Tracks auf „Kreken“ sind nach Orten in Norwegen benannt, die nach Angaben der Plattenfirma selbst fur norwegische Ohren exotisch klingen. Zu dem Zweck umgibt sich die One-Man-Band Sommer Eide, die auf visionare Weise alte Weisen mit ihrer innovativen Neudeutung verknupft, sich ihrer volkischen Elemente entledigt und sie stattdessen an Luftwurzeln ansiedelt, mit gleichgesinnten Fortschrittsartisten wie dem Gitarristen David Grubbs und der japanischen Experimentalvokalistin Haco. Resultat: ein so sexy wie sperriges, Konkret- und Abstrakheit virtuos ineinander verschachtelndes Album, das neugierig auf mehr macht und zugleich einen nicht zu unterschatzenden Unterhaltungsfaktor aufweist.
Freistil (AT)
Auf dem oft recht sproden Experimentallabel rune grammophon tummeln sich die norwegischen Hipster zwischen Jazz, Improv und Krach. Espen Sommer Eide sticht mit seinem Projekt Phonophani daraus hervor, weil sein Bruckenschlag zwischen Elektronik und Folklore zugleich experimentell und elegant, archaisch und modern, magisch und wohlklingend ist. Fantastisch! Einer der Gaste auf dem neuen Album, Kreken“ ist David Grubbs.
Kompakt Disk (DE)
Det er lett a trekke frem Jenny Hvals lyse toner pa "Mendel" som en skjor og vakker englesang, for vakkert er det virkelig. Selv har jeg i tillegg stor sans for Agnethe Christensens folkemusikalske preg pa "Neverdal", som bader i Sommer Eides motsetningsfylte lyder og far det til a hores ut som et strandet romskip pa en norsk fjellstol. Det er ogsa pa denne maten gjestemusikerne arrangeres inn i musikken; det elektroniske pakker inn det akustiske. Undertegnedes favoritt er kanskje siste spor, "Ilka", der pedalene pa troorgelet synes hentet fra pedalene pa en en-giret sykkel i oppoverbakke, hvor tonenen formelig presses gjennom orgel og hoyttalere, stadig innpakket i knitring, blip-blop og kontrasterende rytmer. Dette er et punktum som understreker den vellykkede stilblandingen gjennom hele platen.
