about

Seefeld, alias Marc Weber (born 1982), grew up close to Cologne: in Leichlingen, a small town near the river Wupper. His early fascination for indie-bands has started a still ongoing quest for music that moves and fascinates him in equal measure. So far, it has led to a wide-ranging interest for many kinds of music – especially experimental electronic music, modern classic and ambient.

At the beginning of 2007, a new phase of that journey began when a friend showed him how to use Ableton Live – thus opening up the possibility for him to actually produce music. If one had to put a label on it, the result could be called post-ambient. However, Seefeld always wants to surprise himself. Therefore, all songs are characterised by different influences and musical experiments and can touch the listener in a completely new way.

In the summer of 2013, Seefeld released his debut-EP ‘Previous’ on Pinmusik. The album is a quiet reflection on the years it was written in, already hinted at by its title. It is both, an end point, summarizing the past, and an opportunity for a fresh start, opening up new, possible directions.

The tracks, as well as their titles, all refer back to early influences and past events in Seefeld’s life. Even Seefeld’s name is a reference to the past: it’s his grandmother’s family name. Taken together, one could say that a kind of private mythology subtly informs the whole album,
opening up multiple ways for interpretation. This does, however, never take center stage – a role which is reserved exclusively for the deep, droning and, yes, delirious music.

Pretty In Noise: "Glücklicherweise erzählt Seefeld auf Previous die positiven Momente nicht melancholisch, muffig, verklärend, sondern auf eine angenehm frische Art, mit einem so gar nicht angestaubten Sound. Das ist irgendwie Ambient, irgendwie Drone, irgendwie auch ein wenig Glitch. Da zischt und zirpt und fiept es gleichzeitig, ohne dabei zu abstrakt zu wirken, ab und an klimperts und manchmal kommen sogar schöne orchestral klingende Flächen zwischen diesen vielen kleinteiligen Sounds zum Vorschein. Überwiegend hat das alles einen gewissen Wohlfühlfaktor, der nie schwülstig oder gar kitschig wirkt."

Plattenteller: "Auf sei­nem Debüt Pre­vious fin­den sich sie­ben Songs, die den Hörer in der Tiefe berüh­ren und viel­leicht sogar seine Sehn­süchte her­vor­kra­men. In jedem Fall gelingt es dem Köl­ner mit sei­ner Instru­men­tal­mu­sik jede Menge Bil­der im Kopf ent­ste­hen zu las­sen.”
