Jan St. Werner - Miscontinuum flac album

Miscontinuum Album documents an impressive new work by seminal electronic musician Jan St. Werner, whose innovations with Mouse on Mars and Microstoria are well documented. Over a period of approximately four years Miscontinuum has been developed and refined as an operatic live performance in Munich, as well as a radio play. This recorded incarnation of the work is the third entry in Werner s lauded Fiepblatter series, and features contributions by Dylan Carlson (Earth), Markus Popp (Oval), Kathy Alberici, and Taigen Kawabe (Bo Ningen)  . The first revised version of the Miscontinuum featuring live video by Zoya Bassi will premiere at the St Luke's Church in London on Feb 8th 2015 and is the first in a series of more shows to come in 2015.

Miscontinuum Album is a wonderful glimpse into Jan St. Werner’s life outside of Mouse on Mars and it would be even better if fewer people were involved-for it to be a true solo album. Asymmetrical and pitched up and down at any given moment, Miscontinuum is an unwavering data stream whose moments of relative clarity still press on your temples like a tightening vice.

Conceptually, Miscontinuum Album is pretty dense to wrap one’s head around. At its simplest, it’s an opera about time and its ability to slip into non-linear constructs. Time is a medium in which we actually need to be able to identify relationships in life or in our perception, St. Werner told me recently in an interview. If you see it that way, it’s like an ‘Aha!’ moment, and that ‘aha!’ moment is stretched out to a whole album. Where Jan St. Werner excels is in providing a thrilling and consuming experience, regardless of context. The more you engage with it, the more you potentially get out of it. Then again, considering just how much is happening here, maybe all you really need to do is just sit back and let it do its thing.
