Editor's review
The German electronic composer crafts a minimalism so airtight it's almost difficult to translate to words. (Just see her own efforts: "'SOOL' is everything, everyone, and none.") We might try savoring the steely beats as we would fine architecture--a sort of pristine marriage of form and function.
Biography
“Created in winter 2007/2008 in Berlin, intended to be a valve, a loophole. Winters always have been a very creative time for me; in particular, after this past hot and crazy summer and autumn 2007 in Berlin. I do not have any gigs, I never stay at one place for such a long period of time. Instead, I push buttons at the studio, and sing. Yeah! Minimal – what does minimal mean for me? Minimal is just there. Permuting that, shaping this kind of immediacy with my own hands – that was close to my heart. A whiff of positive, but nevertheless abysmal energy creates room for the ears. For yours and mine. What is SOOL? How is SOOL? SOOL is everything, everyone and none – SOOL is a phantasm, a creation, which reflects the album’s atmosphere, and also my person. I am me; but I am also what you made me for, what you do with me and what I do with you. And, SOOL is curiosity, room, and architecture. Sketches; drawing; adhering.” -- Ellen Allien
