REVIEWS:

Jacob Kirkegaard
01.02
BOTTROP-BOY B-BOY015 CD

Last year, the danish electronic abstractionist Jacob Kirkegaard collaborated with avant turntabelist Philip Jeck on the well received
Soaked album, bringing complementary battery of digitised tricks to Jeck´s requiems for antique technologies. Kirkegaard´s solo album
01.02 continues down the same path, purposefully merging textural loops from beat-up vinyl with more cleanly conceived rounds of
disintegrating electronica. Whereas Soaked seemed like a distinct departure for Jeck, the differences between the two artists are less
clearly defined when comparing their solo works.
The sad melodic fragments culled from archetypical but unidentifiable motifs, the rendering of an abstract emotionally resonant space through slow motion repetitions, and the swells of vinyl crackle - all of which are typical of Jeck´s aesthetic - are the key components of 01.02. These similarities in the compositional and conceptual strategies for Jeck and Kirkegaard actually serve the artists well as Proustian meditations on the void between sound and memory.


JACOB KIRKEGAARD – 01.02
(Bottrop-Boy)
by Jeff Surak

This is the first solo CD by Danish artist Jacob Kirkegaard who recently worked with Philip Jeck and his own group Aeter. While listening to this cd Raymond Scott’s abstract soundscapes at times come to mind, but Kirkegaard employs a different sensibility. Here the sounds try to recall forgotten memories, recreating the sensation of events past. Delicate sonic patterns-sounds are reduced to the outline of structure rather than a direct representation. These very well can be aural memories, as the titles are city names and dates. Kirkegaard uses field recordings (perhaps from the cities listed in the titles) as instruments, integrating them into the rest of the sounds. A pensive melody, trying to move forward is overtaken by the crackle of vinyl and digital streams. Song constructions reflect Kirkegaard’s sensitive touch with fragile lines floating by heading in some unknown direction. The 9 tracks move seamlessly into each other without pause.
Sounds thin as gossamer hover through the speaker. Towards the end of the CD does the fragility give way too a more aggressive sound of sine pulses and oscillations rendering an unsettling climax. (JS) Address: www.fonik.dk


[DE:BUG review]
Jacob Kirkegaard - 01.02
(Bottrop Boy/015)

Von den 4 Bottrop Boy und Semishigure Releases auf CD die grade erscheinen ist diese clickend knisternd stille CD definitv unser Favorite. Sehr schöne Tracks die klingen als würde an den kleinsten Elementen immer noch wieder herumgepflückt werden, als hätte der Sound es verdient bahandelt zu werden wie ein Garten den man in jeder freien Minute pflegen muss. Musik die sich auch zwischen Recordings und purer Digitalität bewegt, aber darin einen sehr stillen Moment sucht in der das Betrachten, Hören, der Blick und der Raum in sich zusammenfallen als wäre nur dort eine Stadt (die Tracks haben alle Städtenamen, Köln, Bourgongne (äh), Kopenhagen, Paris) wo man für einen Moment innehalten kann.

Uden for kortlagte ruter
Jacob Kirkegaard: 01.02
Af Ralf Christensen

Skønheden afslører sig gennem fordybelse på 27-årige Jacob Kirkegaards '01.02' - en titel, som refererer til de to år, hvorunder han har skabt de ni numre, der alle er indspillet live på hans elektroniske udstyr, herunder laptop, sampler og minidiskafspillere.
Resultatet er en anderledes abstrakt, til tider atonal, støvet, svært håndgribelig electronica, som slipper mange af de gængse musikalske virkemidler, mens Kirkegaard trænger længere ind i det elektroniske vildnis. Her finder man en musik, der kan være både idiosynkratisk støjende og ekstremt afdæmpet.
Et samplet klaver kan danse med loopet pladeknitren. Strukturerne kan være så ikke repeterende, at de kan virke decideret fraværende. Lydkilderne så skrøbelige og underbelyste, at man må skrue op for at kunne høre dem. En ridset cd med jødisk musik kan blive klikkende og hikkende fejlaflæst - og blive til ny musik.
Kirkegaard vil videre. Det er der ingen tvivl om. Videre ind i musikken på egen hånd, selv om man kan finde parallelle ruter hos spansk-amerikanske Alejandra & Aeron, tyske Random_Inc og amerikanske Matmos.
Kirkegaard er tidligere medlem af det københavnske eksperimentalband Æter, men studerer i dag i Köln. Og det er her samt i Bourgogne, Paris og København, at han har optaget lyde fra instrumenter og omverden, som han siden har bearbejdet og organiseret på forunderlige måder. Til sidste minut undres man over den krævende og særegne musik, som Kirkegaard har skabt uden for kortlagte ruter.

5 Stjerner ***** af Henrik Queitsch

GÅDEFULDT
Hvordan lyder Køln, Bourgogne, København eller Paris på en række tilfældige datoer i årene 2001 og 2002? Det afhænger selvfølgelig af ørerne, der hører, men 27-årige Jacob Kirkegaard, der har en fortid i det eksperimenterende ensemble Æter, giver et gådefuldt, men stærkt dragende bud på sin fremragende solodebut. De ni 'kompositioner' består af en blanding af hverdagslyde, samplinger, nålestøj og en hel masse andet, hvor de konkrete lydkilder ofte fortaber sig i skrattende, støvede og susende billeder, der ikke minder om nogen eller noget andet. Det skulle da lige være Titanics danseorkester, hvis sidste vals' svage ekkoer endelig når os efter 91 år på havbunden.
