'im grunde sind alle ideen falsch und absurd. es bleiben nur die menschen, so wie sie sind ... ich bin von jeder ideologie geheilt.'
'after all i know that all these ideas and dogmatic thoughts are wrong and absurd. at last only human beings remain. and they are what they are. i am cured of the illness, to follow any ideology.'
(e.m. cioran)
patrick stevensâ hypnoskull project celebrates a 25year birthday in 2017, after it saw the light in june 1992, resulting in first recordings in the summer of 1992. âdie4.generationâ digs deep into one of the most remarkable periods of post-war europe and more particular germany. growing up between belgium and germany, patrick stevens tried to relive the images from his childhood - like in fassbinderâs film âdie dritte generationâ, with a constant stream of the sound of television and radio in the background, this album is full of disturbing audiosnippets from late seventies and early eighties german news. âterrorismâ, âdeathâ, âideologyâ, âviolenceâ. all these messages and images were the background of a so-called peaceful childhood in a period where the cold war conflict reached heights (and ends in the same time).
âdie4.generationâ is an album about ideology, and the point-of-no-return called violence. it tries to understand the concept of resistance, and in the same time vaguely search for new forms of resistance. it is not a political, but rather a philosophical attempt to grab the idea, actions and failures of entire generations and to underline the importance of living a life dedicated to the human individual capacity to âthinkâ. in times of extreme polarisation and propaganda, that is about the most powerful âweaponâ each of us has. on a musical level, âdie4.generationâ builds further on the path of the âimmer wieder neinâ album and on the earliest roots of the hypnoskull project where rhythms and techno were combined with noise and industrial music. besides the album itself, five re-interpretations of the title track made by elisabeth marta hilgenberg, new frames, 6siss, imminent and d. carbone complete this enthralling 'jubilee package' in a most forceful way.
hypnoskull is amongst others one of those pioneers who were the first out there to experiment with 4/4 technoĂŻd rhythms in combination with abrasive and anarchic electronic noise. âdie4.generationâ returns to these roots, but in a contemporary way using all the available production and studio techniques of these days. in combination with the content, the questions it wants to raise, and the form, this album is also the first release to carry the ÄąĘuÉ/techno label - a label and platform started by hypnoskull which aims to indicate a subversive approach of techno in as well form and content.
