Asmus Tietchens (born February 3, 1947 in Hamburg ; pseudonyms Hematic Sunsets and Club of Rome ) is a German composer of electronic music and sound artist .

Some of Asmus Tietchens' albums can also be assigned to industrial or noise music. In addition to his solo work, he has published numerous collaborations with composers such as Merzbow and Arcane Device ( David Lee Myers ). Together with Thomas Köner he forms the duo Kontakt der Jünglinge .

Life

Tietchens was born in Hamburg in 1947 . At the age of ten he got to know musique concrète and electronic composition through the night program of the Norddeutscher Rundfunk . In 1964 he began training as a shipping agent and ship broker , although he never worked in this profession afterwards. Instead, he worked as a copywriter from 1968 . He has been a freelance musician since 1975; In 1980 his first solo album was released. He is also part of Radio Gagarin , a broadcast on the Freie Sender Kombinat Hamburg. From 1989 to 2009 he taught sound research and sound design at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences ; from 2010 to 2013 sound design at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts . He lives and works in Hamburg.

Tietchens began experimenting with a tape recorder as early as 1965, recording tape loops and condensing them into collages . Synthesizers were added from 1971 . After a short rhythmic-harmonic interlude at the beginning of the 1980s (including Biotop , 1981; Spät-Europa , 1982), a regular industrial album appeared on United Dairies in 1984, with a form of last house music , which validly formulated Tietchens' primary musical interests for the first time: noises become edited, sometimes alienated beyond recognition and placed in new contexts. The finished composition results not least from the nature of the starting material. Tietchens has explored a wide variety of sources for his method, including water (series of epidemic areas , from 1985), human voices ( From mouth to mouth 1-3 , 1999/2000) and tapes manually drawn past the tape head ( Daseinsverfehlung , 1992). Since the turn of the millennium he has been working increasingly with the synthesizer, which Tietchens only uses as a pure sound source for his reductionistically shortened compositions ( Mengen series, from 2000). In addition, there is a pronounced musical parodic approach, which is expressed, for example, in the titles of individual pieces, but also in the design of entire albums. Here Tietchens' publications can be classified as Hematic Sunsets , which see themselves as a parody of the swing , but can also be heard as a weird lounge ( music from the Aroma Club , 1998).

Tietchens' work is characterized by a skeptical gesture, which is evident not least in the regular quotes by the philosopher EM Cioran on his phonograms. He has expressed himself several times in essays on his work and the corresponding musical environment (e.g. in confessions of a former soundscaper , 2005).

So far, Tietchens has been awarded the Karl Sczuka Prize sponsored by Südwestrundfunk (SWR) twice: in 2003 for Heidelberg Studies 1-6 and in 2006 for Trois Dryades . In 2018 he completed a lectureship at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
