New Experimental Album by Grodock: Gesammelte Hintergründe
German experimental artist David Leutkart, under his project name Grodock, has recently released a new album titled "Gesammelte Hintergründe." This album, released on his own Grubenwehr Freiburg label, contains 13 previously unreleased tracks [1].
The album is a collection of experimental, primarily cinematic and soundscape-inspired tracks. The song "Pest" serves as a representative sample of the album's style [1].
Grodock's music is characterized by a subdued, often dark, and post-apocalyptic atmosphere. A variety of instruments and sound sources are employed, all heavily processed with effects. Some elements even border on Industrial music [1]. The overall tone can be somewhat monotonous but remains engaging, especially when enriched by the addition of Gregorian chants [1].
Inferno Sound Diaries, a long-standing partner of Side-Line Magazine, has given the album a rating of 6½ [1]. The album is seen as part of a broader artistic concept that would benefit from visual enhancements to fully convey its atmosphere [1].
