GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker:

“nisip noaptea” by Johannes Bergmark & Guido Hübner is a sonic exploration that defies conventional categorization. Released in 2019, this cassette album pushes the boundaries of experimental music, taking listeners on an auditory journey that’s as intriguing as it is unpredictable.

From the outset, Bergmark and Hübner establish a soundscape that’s both immersive and disorienting. The tracks weave together a myriad of unconventional sounds, from ambient noise to distorted electronics, creating an atmosphere that’s uniquely their own. It’s a testament to their creativity and technical prowess that they’re able to construct such a complex sonic tapestry using a seemingly disparate array of sound sources.

Each track on “nisip noaptea” feels like a standalone composition, yet they all contribute to the overall narrative of the album. There’s a sense of progression and evolution throughout, with each new sound introducing another layer of complexity to the mix. The result is a listening experience that’s continually evolving, keeping you engaged from start to finish.

Its avant-garde approach and heavy reliance on experimental sound design may be off-putting to those who prefer more traditional musical structures. But for those with an open mind and an appreciation for the unconventional, this album is a fascinating exploration of the possibilities of sound.

“nisip noaptea” is a bold and challenging work that showcases Johannes Bergmark & Guido Hübner’s innovative approach to music-making. It’s an album that demands your attention and rewards repeat listens with its depth and complexity.
