Track 2
Lukas Koenig
"Flesh Brass"
From Buffering Synapsis
Austrian musician Lukas Koenig is primarily a drummer but there’s a lot more than percussion happening on his latest solo album, Buffering Synapsis, from sputtering noise to fractured circuit breaking to creepy horror soundtrack ambience. Using electronics and pedals along with his cymbal, Koenig lets his imagination fly, leading to fascinating juxtapositions between tracks and sometimes even inside them. Despite the stylistic whiplash, Koenig manages to instil his music with a sense of purpose, never blasting forward blindly or tripping over himself to find a new sound.
