Atom TM – Winterreise
“Winterreise“ is Atom TM ‘s (Uwe Schmidt, a.k.a. Senor Coconut) follow up to 2009’s “Liedgut“.
It will be released as a standard CD on Raster-Noton, in their familiar classy packaging, but has previously been available in the form of a “Play Button“: a new music medium combining the classic pin-button with a built-in music player.
Musically, “Winterreise” is quite different from “Liedgut”.
It’s far more abstract and experimental, with more accents on textures and soundscapes (and less direct references to the music of Kraftwerk).
It’s more ‘serious’, in a way, although it never gets too serious – you can definitely trust Uwe to find a perfect balance between ‘art’ and ‘fun’.
