An audiovisual artist, with a remarkable curriculum in music and video direction, Alexander Peterhaensel debuts as Tilia with this intriguing ep (3 tracks + a quicktime/divx video). While definitely more electronic-oriented, “vous rêvez / vous ne rêvez pas” reminded me of Brian and Chris’ recent, and brilliant, “3” on Dielectric Records, due to its elegant …

Tilia ist Alexander Peterhaensel hat diese Stücke eigentlich als eine Art Multikanal-Installation komponiert. Das mag einige abschrecken, gehört aber mit zum Schönsten, was man zur Zeit so finden kann. Wundervolle Piano-Melodien, die, mal rhythmisch gerastert, mal völlig frei schwebend mit ambientem Hintergrund, weichem Bass von Christian Schwenkmeier und zirpenden Rhythmen um die Wette glitzern. Kann …

La capacità evocativa del suono, tende a perdere questa sua peculiarità quando si accompagna alle immagini, che da sole rischiano di affogare l’immaginario del fruitore. A dimostrare esattamente il contrario sono artisti come Tilia (alias Alexander Peterhaensel), ben consci del ruolo che hanno gli occhi mentre si ascolta musica. La sua ricerca accosta delicati loop, …

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 …

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 …
