About
Jörg Thomasius crafted ephemeral tapestries of sound during the late 1980s, each cassette a portal into a world where field recordings and minimalist compositions merged into immersive soundscapes, resonating deeply within the subsoil of experimental drone. His six releases, including 'Die Gesänge des Komparsen' and 'Feedback' on Kröten Kassetten, echo through time with tectonic shifts in texture and tone, each a gravitational vortex of audio layers that challenge the listener to surrender to the infinite possibilities of sound. Collaborating with labels like Generations Unlimited and self-releasing works such as 'Oganal', Thomasius's output remains a testament to the raw, unrefined potential of the cassette medium, capturing a moment when Germany's underground resonated with the experimental fervor of peers like John Watermann and PBK. His tapes, now rare artifacts, continue to resonate with 531 listeners who delve into their sustained harmonics, experiencing the gravitational pull of his sonic evolution in a form that defies time.
