Oktan, by Chris Herb

Oktan

by Chris Herb

supported by

Juan Dahmen Electronic music that sounds more rock than most stuff out there claiming to.
Chris did a great job with thick sounds, powerful grooves and sweet layers of interwoven patterns that never feel too much.
As a drummer, rarely do I enjoy so much electronic drums (when they play as acoustic ones). It is also rare to know so much about the instrument doing such interesting patterns while being a bass player.
The mixing is great too. It shows he knows what he's doing in every aspect. Favorite track: Oktan.

about

'Oktan' marks the second solo release by Chris Herb, with a deeper exploration in working with a physical instrument–an 8 string touch guitar–in creating essentially electronic dance music.

The 4 tracks range from drum'n'bass ('Meter Pro Sekunde'), over downtempo trip hop ('Goldmädchen'), to odd-metered techno ('Traumstoff').

I was there, when Markus played that. Never heard of him before, but then ... ... Crimson ProjeKct gave a great show and since this evening I'm (no we're - my wife loves the music too and owns a signed T-Shirt ...) a fan of his work. There is so much to explore - and it is so touching ... Michael Kunkel
