Black noise was influenced by recordings and field recordings that Weber recorded in forests and landscapes in Switzerland. By chance he learned that the recordings came from a place where a landslide buried a village 200 years earlier.

reception

Philip Ekhardt and Jan Kedves write in spex :

“In fact,“ Black Noise ”is a big hit. The album combines hyper-real bell sounds and the scraping of a mountain of Swiss rubble, which once buried an entire village, to form eerie alpine ice crystal techno. "

Sebastian Ingenhoff writes in the intro :

"On the cover of" Black Noise "you can now see the picture of a church at the foot of the Watzmann, which was modeled on a romantic painting. The idyll is not tarnished by anything, except by the album title. Weber also works musically with supposed opposites, technology and nature are synchronized. Field recordings, the typical Weber glockenspiels, the always gentle bass drum, all of this comes together to create picturesque music that points miles beyond the dance floor. When Panda Bear starts to sing, it actually becomes magical. "

International critics also rated the album positively. allmusic awarded 4.5 / 5 points, The Guardian 4 out of 5 points and Pitchfork Media awarded 8.3 out of 10 points to the record.

With the album du Prince won the critics award at the 2011 Echo Awards .
