Fennesz uses guitar and computer to create shimmering, swirling electronic sound of enormous range and complex musicality. His lush and luminant compositions are anything but sterile computer experiments. They resemble sensitive, telescopic recordings of rainforest insect life or natural atmospheric occurrences, an inherent naturalism permeating each piece.

And while his guitar is both bright and sad, a pure 60s balladeer tone, his playing still follows an improviser's inscrutable logic.

Fennesz's first full solo work since Black Sea is a short, almost tentative release, feeling as if it's a dipping of toes into the water to see what might be next. It's gorgeous if a little unexpected, not quite as distinct as some of his other work in the end, though the final minute of the song takes things in an even woozier and louder direction.

10" Vinyl Printer inner and outer colour sleeve. Design & photography by Jon Wozencroft. Track listing: Side A 1. Liminal 3:07 2. July 5:06. Recorded in Studio B, Amannstudios, Vienna. Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, synths, computers. I recorded and mixed the album within 3 weeks. Liminal and July were existing pieces which i have reworked. I wrote an early version of Liminal in a hotel room in Bali in 2010).

The tracks incorporate the usual electric guitars, bass, and synths to paint thick layers of drony textures, and for the first time in his discography a drum kit, played by Steven Hess (Member of Locrian). I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track, says this Vienna based sound artist. Besides his solo work, there’s also his celebrated collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto – their latest, appearing on Touch as a double disk, titled.

It’s time for me to catch up to my favorite releases from Touch. And what better way to kick it off then with a short four-track EP from Christian Fennesz one of the top experimental composers known for using his guitar as the source instrument in laptop aided electronic music. Anyone familiar with his work will instantly recognize the delicate attention to detail, even when the sound is submerged in slight distortion, some reverb and a little bit of flanger. Seven Stars is Fennesz’s first solo release since Black Sea (Touch, 2008). The tracks incorporate the usual electric guitars, bass, and synths to paint thick layers of drony textures, and for the first time in his discography a drum kit, played by Steven Hess (Member of Locrian). “I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track,” says this Vienna based sound artist. Besides his solo work, there’s also his celebrated collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto – their latest, appearing on Touch as a double disk, titled Flumina. Both, this EP and the Fennesz + Sakamoto release have appeared on Headphone Commute’s Best of 2011, so it’s about time that they got properly mentioned on here. There’s also a neat little USB flash drive release by Fennesz and Jon Wozencroft, titled Liquid Music which you can pick up from touchshop.org. Fennesz never disappoints!

July on this release is the same track as the June release on Table of the elements as far as my ears can tell.

Now, I'm totally confused after someone posted this to play at 45rpm. I was playing this at 33rpm and the track 'July' is at the same pitch as the track 'June' on the aforementioned release but at 45rpm, this could very well be at the shorter time posted. One would would need to analyze the digitized waveforms spun at each speed in order to see what is really going on here.

The June track clocks in at 6:50 on the Table Of The Elements release. This one clocks in at 5:06.

Does anyone know if "July" on here is related in any way to his vinyl "June" http://www.discogs.com/Fennesz-June/master/866

To my ears, it sounds like a a shorter, edited version. Not crazy about the mastering of this 10" though - very low volume as compared to the Table Of The Elements release, which is brilliant in every way.
