Asmus Tietchens – Seuchengebiete (Rare LP, A-Mission 1985)

This LP is looking pretty used , but not that bad – it’s was used when I bought it locally and the price sticker is still on the cover and the LP label - it has been played by others unknown to me - it has normal usage and storage wear, corners are only minimaly soft with minimal creases, slight ring scuffing on the black portions front – edges are a tad rugged in a few places – the back has a ring trace from a little grim – no scuffing – The inner record sleeve is the original paper type - The album has been stored and will ship in a 4 mil polyethylene record jacket sleeve - Overall this is not a bad looking LP and the vinyl looks to be clean, I have not played this in years. It has been stored indoors in a pet and smoke free home.

Germany's Asmus Tietchens has been creating music since 1965 when he began manipulating tape-machines. In 1971 he bought a synthesizer and has been exploring its possibilities, and has never looked back. In the 70's he became involved with Sky Records, appearing for example on the album titled, "Cluster & Eno", but it was not until the 80's that Tietchens' own music was released, of which several early Lp's appeared on Sky. These records were of playfully rhythmic, often melodic music, but as is revealed in the following interview not representative of Tietchens' ideas about music. In 1984 United Dairies issued "Formen Letzer Hausmusik", an album of more powerful concrete and industrial compositions, shedding a new light on the composer's work to both listeners and other musicians.unaware of his powerful music. Since then an abundance of material has been issued (close to 20 releases in various formats and about 30 compilation appearances) all in a highly experimental vein.

While having a large influence on the explosion of industrial music during the past 15 years, Tietchens has never belonged to any of its musical, philosophical movements, or styles and has never really attempted to create a "style" of his own. Tietchens' releases are simply the musical exploration of the studio, idea, or collaborative situation at that given time.

"My music is composed of aesthetic and extraordinary events which make statements for themselves, but there is absolutely no message. For myself the music most definitely has a meaning. I am an adventurer in the studio.....my aim is to discover the white dots on the landscape of sound, territories where no others have travelled." (Unsound, 1987)
