"Ring" is Cologne musician Timo Reuber's (Klangwart) 5th solo album in
12 years. Kosmische Musik at its best that needs no comparison.

Since 1998, Timo pursues a solo career in electronic music, which
resulted in four much noted solo albums for the Staubgold label ("Anna",
2000; "ruhig blut", 2001; "Kintopp", 2005; "Südpol", 2007). In his
solo-performances, he combines archaic singing techniques with rhythmic,
delicate, ecstatic sound collages. Apart from his work as a musician, he
continues to work for television, writing and developing screen-plays.

Reuber on "Ring":

"The title track 'Ring' is a snapshot of an electronic collage in a
state of permanent flux. It is a dynamic, energetic stream based on the
Reuber-sound pool. The latter has accrued over a number of years and
consists of countless sample snippets, loops and sequences. The track's
basic structures have evolved during live shows. However, 'Ring's'
individual elements react differently with each other in almost every
performance, depending on room acoustics, audience and my frame of mind
on the day of a performance. Therefore, no 'Ring' sounds like another.
It does not have a final form. Its ideal impact is achieved live or loud.

'Ring ring', 'Ringer', 'Ring frei' and 'Ringfest' are rhythmic studies
in sound with one or two instruments respectively. Phraselab and
Kaossilator are simple synthesizers with very limited, yet highly
idiosyncratic sound and rhythm characteristics.

My motivation to get a grip on these machines and fathom their
possibilities was: Can I find and/or express the 'Reuber principle'
(whatever it might be) with this restricted number of sounds? I came to
the conclusion that it's impossible to invent groundbreaking new forms
of music with it, but that you can have a f.......

Piąty album kolońskiego specjalisty od elektroniki. Reuber czerpie ze swych bogatych doświadczeń na szerokim polu psychodelicznej elektronicznej muzyki, czy to jako artysta solowy czy też jako połowa duetu Klangwart (z Markusem Detmerem).
Reuber łączy transowość krautrocka z industrialem, ambientowe plamy z mechanicznymi rytmami, łącząc eksperyment z melodią, a nwet muskając rave.
