DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
  As a lifelong fan of horror movie soundtracks, I've always been drawn to the creepiest fringes of experimental electronic music and electro-acoustic experiments, since the aesthetics of both can often intersect. On RLW's Sechs Abstände, German sound artist Ralf Wehowsky brings us more of his own brand of uneasy experimental soundscapes, drawing from the realms of electro-acoustic composition and post-industrial ambience to create one of the darkest recordings I've ever heard from this long-running project. He almost dares you to listen to Abstände with the lights off.
   The first side of the album features the two-part "Irrung (Für Imaginäres Instrumentalensemble)", opening with a grey glacial drift of muted rumblings and diffused orchestral drones that have been stretched and smeared into vast subterranean reverberations. Frightening percussive events suddenly materialize in the blackness, echoing through the lightless catacombs of RLW's soundworld. Eerie horn-like tones drift languidly through the shadows, joined by the slow creep of some stringed instrument, like a cello that has been processed into a more muffled, abstract groan. Faint electronics gleam in the distance. This first track alone is deeply unsettling, like some jet-black horror movie soundtrack commissioned from a particularly sinister European improv group. The second part follows, leading into even more abstract soundscape of random percussive pounding and distant metallic groans, bits of hellish backwards noise suddenly rushing out of the depths to the forefront of the mix, processed strings scraping and buzzing like the fluttering wings of some infernal hive, monstrous sounds swelling up out of the murk, drums violently and randomly hammered, funerary bells tolling in the depths beneath weird batrachian string arrangements, everything enshrouded in a heavy cloud of cavernous reverb.
  The second side features the mausoleum ambience of "Ruin & Konstruktion (Für Gedämpftes Metall)", as titanic metal girders scream in the far distance, bass and piano lurk in the foreground, weaving an amorphous creepiness that gradually begins to be cut apart and reshaped into something even more alien and malevolent. The final track "Drangwäsche (Für Zirkuläre Systeme)" is the harshest, again introducing that sinister cello-like sound and swells of ghastly orchestral dissonance, but surrounding them with passages of crashing metal and glittering electronics, eruptions of looping junk-noise and some seriously dark trumpet-like melodies that begin to drift across the final minutes of the album, drifting out into a realm of spacious, spectral free jazz and deformed horror movie-style symphonics that roam through the fractured electronic noisescapes, like some fractured Badalamenti score stretched out and blurred and buried beneath vast chthonic rumblings.
   Amazing stuff that rivals the malevolent atmosphere of almost any black ambient outfit, Sechs Abstände comes on heavyweight vinyl in a limited edition of three hundred copies.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
