Oliver Lamm | Snow Party

Lamm is exploring new directions in electronic music.
CD, Active Suspension

Tekst: Theo Ploeg en Harry Prenger

Publicatiedatum: 19 mei 2002

Oliver Lamm is making music that is quite demanding. If you are able to hold your attention to it, you are rewarded with something fine and delicate: an unexpected highlight in the electronic music area. Lamm’s work is serious and thoughtful, but at the same time open minded and cheeky. He is combining Bay-Area (Kid 606, Blectum From Blechdom, Lesser) ‘punk’ electronics, the sound art of Oval, the abstract sound of most Warp acts (think of Autrechre) and the avant-gardism of the sixties (Jan Boerman, Tod Dockstader). You can even hear influences from musique concrete. Throw it all together, mix it and you’ll get a hell of a chaos. Lamm is able to produce a spectacular sound out of this. Electronics that grinds and crunches, meanwhile accompanied by sully rhythms and strange dynamics that gently strokes your abdomen. Lamm elevates chaos to art, sublimes the unexpected. Although fifty minutes maybe is a bit too much, Lamm is exploring new directions in electronic music. Directions in which he interprets electronic influences from the past years and combines them to something new. And that is very refreshing.
