Hobor - Constellations (2018)

»With „Constellations“ one of Leipzig's experimental music-scene's underdogs releases his first full-length piece of music. Hobor is part of many groups and formations himself, such as Songs For Pneumonia or „Cointel Allstars“ and the event-series „Fiktion+Masse“. His solo project is mainly known for extended DJ-sets on various ambient-floors in Leipzig and his live-sets - which could be described as cautious investigations into micro-sounds - are mainly based on his work with modular synthesizers. His debut-album on PH17 is a minimalistic, conceptual work that focuses on sound as much as on the way electronic music usually plays. All tracks consist of almost independent layers of sound that behave like improvising musicians. They seem to play together but by focusing on one of them you soon realize they’re actually stoically sticking to there own rhythm and repititionand as the tracks play on these layers of sound start to form everdifferent constellations.No wonder Hobor says he took inspiration from improvising bands like The Necks. His album is as fascinating and hypnotizing as one of their live-jams.„Constellations“ is released on 50 limited tapes and digitally world wide on the label PH17 in January, 2018.«
