laleloo - loop pool (chmafu nocords)

laleloo is an electronic improvisational duo (laleloo are: robert lepenik (tapes, loops, guitar, delays), bernhard lang (sampler, notebook, delays, synthesizer), edda strobl (video – loops)) that works exclusively with different kinds of loops. and the title of the release tells that too. the subtitle of the release is ‘live in concert’ because tracks are recorded live on concerts on various locations between 2001 and 2003 so loop pool is release designed out of excerpts of live performances. in their performances they interweave these loops (played from tape players, samplers, notebooks, and such) in several layers. sources for this are pre-recorded material (samples and tapes) on one and live played sounds (radio, guitar, microphone...) on other hand. all pieces are based on improvisation and all that combination and gluing, copying, cutting and pasting of sounds results in experimental noise art textures and sound collage. ambiences, pads, noises, short cuts, sampled instruments, skipping, vibrating sounds, sinewaves, signals, cut ups… are making randomly oriented electronic structure. you can recognize that all tracks are recorded live because sound is a bit weak. but that’s not disturbing the enjoyment of noisy but organic feel and combination of the recordings.
