moreover moedling

Moreover Moedling is a myspace site about the music scene in Moedling, a small town in Austria, a little south of Vienna. This site has been started on the occasion of a compilation entitled "Moreover Moedling" collecting pieces by various groups and musicians from Moedling that has been released on the german netlabel 12rec (http://www.12rec.net) in 2006 and is downloadable for free.------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------The Blog Entries above provide information about and links to webpages of some of the local bands. Below are parts of a review that Georg Cracked wrote for the Cracked E-Zine (http://www.monochrom.at/cracked) about above mentioned compilation: ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------Where would the rich and blooming scene of musicians in Mödling, who are exploring the fringes of music and of their own understanding of harmony, structure and sound, come from? Is it, by all definitions, a scene yet? The economically well off suburban centre of Mödling is rather known for snootiness, drug dealing at one of Austrias largest technical schools and reckless drivers in expensive cars than it is for being open-minded about avant-garde music. What the artists have in common is a mindset that drives them to identify clichés, prejudices and focus and then to divert, dissect and rename them in a widely subconscious method. The results might be songs leaning towards pop or free form noise experiments or subtle yet glistening drones or walls of sound leaning threateningly over the listener. The background of the musicians ranges from autodidact to learned, but you wouldnt be able to tell the difference, because the strategies and intentions used are not taught in any school in the world. Their aim mystifyingly elusive yet obviously important: to lay bare the wondrous rules the mind and society work on, or at least some of them, refigure and reform them and set them to use anew right away. This adventurous mindset is about the only thing the bands have in common. They draw their influences and ideas from a diverse array of areas that range from the serious to the absurd and from the pragmatic to the highly complex. From an outside point of view the various parts of this music may seem like a concise and tightly woven section of a tiny fraction of all the music on this planet, but diving into the contents offered herein, youll find whole worlds opening to you.-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- releases: ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- MOREOVER MOEDLING: V.A (12rec.net_032, mp3/Cdr) ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- get the compilation as a free download at: 12 REC ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
