I love everything about this album, from its story of creation to the music itself. The moment I saw that this was re-released on vinyl I went CRAZY
G Norton
Missed the first release, excited to have come across I+II after falling in love with Music For Parents. Can seem to feel Zeisig's artistic direction change between I and II, and hope to see a III in a few years!
Favorite track: VIII [DIGITAL ONLY].

"Florian T M Zeisigโs splendid debut ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด was constructed out of 426 tape loops from Enyaโs ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ๐ฌ. ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ . Using up to eight pitch-able tape players, the artist cut these loops and reassembled them, crafting captivating sound dialogues whose unforeseen and precise beauty emerges from a sense of curiosity and awe in the layered relationship between fragments. ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ , ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
For the 5th anniversary of this work, Zeisig revisited the original archive of loops and created an absorbingly introspective second volume with loops that had not been previously used, following the same approach. ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด was largely focused on technique and conceptual elaboration, but ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐๐ is not so preoccupied with an overly intellectual quest. ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ . ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
Freeing itself from formal concerns as a guiding principle, the second volume unravels from a deeply emotional impulse towards artistic and personal honesty. ๐จ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ . ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐.
While the first volume opened up spaces of unprecedented wonder, the second not only expands these spaces and stretches them out into landscapes: more importantly, it also dares to inhabit them. ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. A liberation from the mandate that artworks need to be โabout something,โ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐๐ stands as a mirror made of memories, offering a meaningful reflection of the last five years of the artistโs life. ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐: ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐."

This album is truly one of my favorite as it makes me think about the act of forgetting something when you don't want to. You can't control it and makes you feel miserable. This truly makes me enjoy the memories I can remember because there will be a point in time where it will be gone. tenr3d
