Crónica, the fine Portugese label, always seems to find artists which are new to me. Tilia is one Alexander Peterhaensel, a composer from Cologne, who had various works on labels as 12Rec/Rotesonne, Subway Records and Rattay, which all have escaped this listener. Originally ‘Vous Rêves/ Vous Ne Rêves Pas’ (meaning ‘you are dreaming/you are not …

‘Sognate / Non Sognate’. Sembra il nocciolo dell’antica disputa tra Calderòn de la Barca e Federico Garcia Lorca, invece è più semplicemente la traduzione del titolo (davvero indicativo) di questo mini album firmato Tilia. Alexander Peterhaensel (già apprezzato come batterista dei Lali Puna e collaboratore di molti altri artisti) lo ha strutturato come un unico …

Tilia is Alexander Peterhaensel, a composer from Munich who has released his music under various names for several years. ‘Vous revez…’ is Peterhaensel’s debut album under the name ‘Tilia’. The music on this album can be best described as ‘filmic’. Beautiful and melancholic piano loops are interluded with subtle effects, clicks, guitars and distant voices. …

Tilia’s new album is the work of Alexander Peterhaensel, and Vous Rêvez/Vous Ne Rêvez Pas is a 3-track mini album, with an additional audio/video track of the same name – recorded in London and mixed in Cologne. Musically, Peterhaensal creates some fine lengthy, minimalist compositions here, using intricately placed samples and melodic piano loops. The …

La Crónica si sta velocemente imponendo all’attenzione degli appasionati di ellettronica ‘colta’ grazie a pubblicazioni che cercano di rimettere in gioco il discorso intrapeso dal movimento glitch. La nuova prova di Alexander Peterhaensel, musicista di Monaco di Baviera oggi noto col moniket Tilia, presenta microscopiche intermittenze digitali e dolcissimi click che si incontrano con loop …

With a genuine passion for composition, Tilia AKA Alexander Peterhaesel’s extended piece is truly a wonderful listening experience. ‘…And Coming Back’, which opens the disc starts with an abstract feeling, a sense of uncertainty as to where this work is going to take you. Before long piano loops (which are roughly edited to create a …

Une nouvelle fois, le label portugais, que l’on trouve extrêmement productif en comparaison à l’exigence de ses sorties, nous surprend avec ce disque plus facile d’accès, mais qui s’avère être une excellente réussite dans la fusion de l’électronique et de l’acoustique, avec un jeu subtile qui s’installe entre ces deux composantes. Tilia est le projet …

While the press release of this gentle piece of work talks about a Steve Reich influence, I listened to the 30 minutes of “Vous revez” without preconceptions, while reading on my couch. More than once the music made me raise my head, due to a simple beauty mostly expressed by repeated/looped piano figures which – …

Wenn man von einer CD der letzten Zeit behaupten kann, dass sie mich gleich beim ersten Hören regelrecht umgehauen hat, dann ist es wohl diese. Mag sein, dass es vielleicht auch daran lag, dass der Zeitpunkt, die Umgebung und die Stimmung (später Abend/frühe Nacht; ein dunkles Zimmer; von einem doch recht stressigen Tag etwas erschlagen) …
