about

"As opposed to many guitar-drone releases, the production of "Die Zähne der Sonne" boosts an almost hyperreal crispness of sound that at times makes you feel as if you could touch every single note falling from the guitar. All three tracks display a masterful economy of compositional means. Every noisy work-out is cut short at exactly the right time before allowing itself to become self-indulgent, and is transformed in a new sound "tableau" by just the right amount of digital processing. Niku Senpuki is an extremely talented new name definitely worth watching out for."
Gerald Fiebig

"Von NIKU SENPUKI, oder Fabian Otto, wer's genau wissen will, war bisher nochwenig zu hören. Die Zähne der Sonne (ACM 1012, 3" mCD-R) ändert das als von Otto selbst illustrierter Release mit drei dröhnminimalistischen Tracks mit schimmernden und kaskadierenden Gitarrenklängen. Echoeffekte und kreiselnde Loops werden offenbar per Laptop manipuliert, die Strings selbst aber auch schon per Bogen oder Stab 'gesägt'. Schleifende Gesten eskalieren dramatisch, zart funkelnde und tickende, fast kichernde folgen. Trotz der Loops stellt sich keine Regelmäßigkeit ein, weil Otto seine Grundstrukturen phantasievoll changieren lässt und verunklart. Das Automatenhafte überspielt er mit Handarbeit, perkussiven Tupfern und Kratzern, metallischen Schlägen. Dazu rauschen immer auch die Gitarreneffekte, mit hellem Klingklang, dunklem Tamtamhufschlag, hitzigen Riffs und surrendem Gedröhn. Da weiß offenbar jemand schon ziemlich gut, was er will."

"This three track release combines the styles noise and ambient/ drone to a psychedelic fusion. If you need slow organic sounds for best inner cinema, taste “Die Zähne der Sonne” of NIKU SENPÛKI!"

about

Niku Senpuki Augsburg, Germany

Niku Senpuki is the brainchild of F. Otto.
Begun as a series of improvisations in late 2007/early 2008 and slowly taking the vaguely defined form of a noise/ambient/whatever project flirting with film music. What is next? Noone knows. Maybe a Krautrock Album? Philosphical debates with a vaccuum cleaner? Why does my breath smell of cat food?! ... more
