Umlaut - In the First Wave '2019

Tracks list

Ümlaut is Jeff Düngfelder, a U.S. electronic music composer who is based
in Queens, New York. The thematic concepts distinguishing his work are absence
and silence; the ineffable exchange between viewer and image; random moments of
stillness within a landscape in flux. The listener sets out on a richly layered
journey into the unknown. As 
Rajneesh once said: “Sit very quietly, and when the scenery shifts, slip
between it.” 

In the First Wave 
With calming spirit, Ümlaut’s new album “In the First
Wave” explores the reciprocity of silence and noise. As an atmospheric
sound poem, the breathing spaces between sounds, textures and minimal beats are
the blank lines. The in-betweens are important elements. As the album unfolds,
the listener will begin to discern language in the spaces. The imagination is
sparked. The title, “In the First Wave,” references a beginning -
whether to time and space, or discovery of a new way of listening. Imagine
yourself in a satellite listening station, tuned into the gradually evolving
structures of planetary waves. Regard the album as an electronic shuttle through
planetary influences. Imagine. Receive. The mind expands.
