2xLP - VG+/VG+ - THOMAS BRINKMANN, A 1000 Keys (Editions Mego; EMEGO 224, Austria 2016, Gatefold), Almost EX, one minor storage hairline that doesn't affect play. Seems unplayed., A 1000 KEYS is a minimalist harsh meditation on the expressive qualities of digital sound production. In translating the timbre of a grande piano into binary codes, thus rebuilding its corpus with 0 and 1s, Brinkmann subverts the sensual qualities of this proto-romantic instrument in a sardonic way. Replacing the musician with a mathematically precise series of frenetic repetition and intriguingly dissonant difference, the result sounds at times like a violent ride through the brains of Sch nberg or Webern, drained in amphetamines, at others like Feldman's ephemeral sketches or Russolo's futurist outburst.
