In the sprawling archive of German avant garde electronic musician Conrad Schnitzler (1937–2011), there are two tapes marked "Filmmusik 1975 A" and "Filmmusik 1980 B". It is hard to say which videos this music belongs to, particularly as the pieces have been left untitled. "Filmmusik 1" presents an initial selection of these finds, presented to us by Schnitzler's musical partner for many years and guardian of the archive, Wolfgang Seidel. The music on the "Filmmusik" tapes is extraordinarily accessible for Schnitzler: hypnotic bass lines, stoic drum rhythms, dark drones, crystalline shards of melody.
Includes unlimited streaming of Filmmusik 1
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Another delve into the cassauna catalogue...interested to find this late Schnitzler; a towering and prolific figure, this is all you would want it to be...edgy and expansive but also capable of intimately observed minutiae...insistent foregrounding as well as nebulous depth of field...and somewhat ominous and eery...perfect!
