Bartkuhn, Lars

Dystopia

ince relocating to Brazil some years back, Needs Music co-founder Lars Bartkuhn has returned to his long-held love of musical improvisation. Although its a product of his jazz roots and classical training, the German producer has constantly found new ways to apply it to his work in the sphere of electronic music. Dystopia, his first solo album for almost nine years, was born out of two interlinked ideas: a desire to create improvised music without the aid of computer sequencers or an electronic drum set, and a deeply held love of storytelling through sound. Bartkuhn set to work improvising with modular synthesizers, acoustic instruments and hand percussion, later adding light-touch overdubs to a handful of pieces. When he listened back to the recordings, an aural narrative emerged, and youll hear it if you listen to the album from start to finish, as is intended.
