Review by edpond Jun 29, 2003
Fennesz is contemporary electronic music of the highest calibre. Songs usually consist of skillfull application and manipulation of dense sonic textures with a genuine feel of the live, real-time. There is frequent use of controlled time-smearing which utterly disassembles original sound sources, but avoids a regimented feel. Both live performances I've seen (London QEH 2001, ICA 2003) were awesome.
