Consumers now find nothing expensive. Nevertheless, they suspect that the less anything costs, the less it is being given them… When thrown in free, the now debased works of art… are secretly rejected by the fortunate recipients, who are supposed to be satisfied by the mere fact that there is so much to be seen …

“Product 05†reviewed by D-Side
Difficile de s’en rendre compte à la lueur de sa contribution à ce split CD enregistré live en mars dernier, mais Frans de Waard, alias Freiband, l’un des musiciens les plus actifs sur la scène post-industrielle depuis les années 80 (à travers Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Goem, Shifts et Quest), s’est récemment découvert un amour renouvelé …
“Product 05†reviewed by Plop
The superb match between two artists who stand for two different generations in Netherlands comes true on a disc from Portuguese label Cronica. Even though all of them are based on the live recordings at a festival that took place in Netherlands in 2004, they sound solidly well-constructed. Who wouldn’t disbelieve that they are not …
“Product 05†reviewed by Ox
Der Herr Frans de Waard ist ja auch schon einige Zeit in der Elektroniker-Szene aktiv, den meisten wohl bestens bekannt unter KAPOTTE MUZIEK oder BEEQUEEN. Mit FREIBAND hat er sich ein neues Spielzeug zugelegt. “Product” (Crónica/ A-Musik) ist eine aktuelle Kollaboration mit Martijn Tellinga aka BOCA RATON. Erwartungsgemäß gibt es hier keine stampfenden Beats oder …
“vous rêvez/ vous ne rêvez pas†reviewed by Bodyspace
Quantas narrativas já interrompeu o polegar que conduz o zapping? A disposição dos dedos – inquisidores na permanente selecção de matéria a assimilar – encarrega o polegar de colocar termo a um raciocÃnio de Miguel Sousa Tavares e, chegada a sua vez, o indicador de determinar o melhor destino a dar a uma faixa incluÃda …

“vous rêvez/ vous ne rêvez pas†reviewed by Blow Up

“vous rêvez/ vous ne rêvez pas†reviewed by Chain DLK
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 …

“vous rêvez/ vous ne rêvez pas†reviewed by DeBug
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 …

“vous rêvez/ vous ne rêvez pas†reviewed by Bad Alchemy
Der Münchner Alexander Peterhaensel, gelernter Multimediakünstler mit einem Diplom der Akademie für Medienkunst in Köln, umtriebiger Drummer & Knispler mit Projekten wie Carrera, Jasmin, Du, Britta, Berti und die Blumen oder Sonoaviatik, gehört mit seinen Soundinstallationen und Videos zu den Mitdesignern der eleganten Sonnenseite des späten Europa. Da die Ästhetik entgegen ihrem Image den Fakten …

“vous rêvez/ vous ne rêvez pas†reviewed by Neural
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, …
