Event information

It seems we can’t escape the influence of a certain Steven O’Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate) at the moment. Not content with giving the world countless albums of horrifically enjoyable doom drone, he has now decided to team up with one of the world’s most influential purveyors of extreme computer music, Editions Mego boss Peter Rehberg aka PITA. There has always been a big difference for me between the world of computer-aided noise which Mego had made it’s core sound and the more rock influenced noisy abstraction that has bubbled up to the surface with help from musicians such as O’Malley. Not just in sound but in the philosophy and the attitude behind it, where one camp would push the realms of what it is possible to listen to, the other would at most times sound like people just trying to make any kind of sound – it just came out pretty damn noisy for some reason. It is interesting then to hear this collaboration purely from a historical standpoint; the two musicians reside in seemingly totally different areas of the musical spectrum, yet on listening to KTL it seems like a match made in heaven (or maybe hell…)
