Reinhard Voigt

Cologne, Germany’s Reinhard Voigt can be an experimental techno manufacturer of several hats and aliases. Beneath the brands Pentax and Special Reinhard, his productions for Profan are abrasive, rhythmic, rather than that easy to hear. As Sturm, his productions for Mille Plateaux are swirling and darkly ambient. With all the Kron moniker, his productions for the EMI-affiliated Harvest (originally a prog/folk sublabel offering Green Floyd and Kevin Ayers) are in their most conveniently exciting. S.R.We. is an electric outlet for the greater punishing, bangin’ aspect of his character. He also information under his very own name every once in awhile; 2000 saw the discharge from the long-player Premiere Globe on Profan, which is most likely his most ambient discharge to date. The next calendar year, he released Im Wandel Der Zeit on Kompakt, a batch of productions that flittered between even more bangin’ work as well as the simple textures and rhythms from the label.
