Burkhard Stangl and dieb13 live and work in Vienna, both being long time protagonists of the local scene as well as travelling and collaborating with musicians from all over the planet. In 2002 Stangl and dieb13 released their duo album “eh”, which gave a very thorough and entertaining insight in the possibilities of interactions between guitars and record players. Now, 17 years later, on “Jardin Des Bruits”, or “Garden Of Noises” they explore and expand the sonic properties of their group sound and include plenty of soundscapes from Paris and Montreuil, where the recordings took place in May 2019.

Burkhard Stangl once said that he allows himself to play his special so-called “eh”-tuning only in this project, because of its high emotional tension verging on nostalgia. A pair of tracks on “Jardin Des Bruits” sounds like a farewell to their sonic adventures from 2002 which they masterfully convert to their current musical ideas. Their themes remain particularly alluring and bruitfully fruitful as ever, with each track telling its own engrossing story. This is sharp, focused contemporary music of the kind, where minimalist motifs meet maximalist outbreaks. “Jardin Des Bruits” is another landmark recording made by two of the most prolific experimental explorers of sound and music active today.

CD comes in a 6-panel digipack.
