Sebastian Meissner migrates his Klimek project from Kompakt to Anticipate Recordings. For this eight-piece ambient album, German based Meissner indeed creates tracks dedicated to his many artistic influences. This guitar driven, effect saturated, and soundscape rich composition positions Klimek perfectly along the leading experimental and modern classical composers like Ben Frost, Marsen Jules, and Deaf Center. Meissner's previous notable ambient recordings include Selected Random Works under his Random Industries alias; The Very Best Of under Bizz Circuits; and Walking In Jerusalem under Random_Inc alias for Mille Plateaux. Meissner has also previously released Into The Void on Sub Rosa under his real name. He is responsible for numerous installations in Germany, Poland, Norway, and an upcoming collaboration with Zaellia Bishop in Italy. Add to the CV a couple of recent soundtrack works, and you have yourself a fully immersed, musically rounded artist. The delicately crafted textures on Dedications suggest hours upon hours of painstaking labor, pulling the strings through reverberation chambers until they slap back into the standing waves of ghost filled echoes. Somewhere in the back, an old piano is playing. Like Basinski's Disintegration Loops, the sampled sources are cut and fed back into the machine, while retaining all of their organic characteristics. Whether taken out of context or together as a conceptual piece, the tracks on Dedications speak all on their own. Haunting, lush, and timeless - Dedications is not an album to pass by or brush off lightly.
