Description:Gas by Gas, released 23 August 2024. This version of Gas comes as a 1xLP. -
Vinyl LP pressing. Wolfgang Voigt, born in 1961 in Cologne, Germany, is an artist, music producer, label owner and one of the co-founders of the Cologne-based electronica and techno label Kompakt. His project Gas, an intoxicatingly sinister work of sound art based on highly condensed classical sound sources, thrills a global audience far beyond the traditional electronica and techno music scenes since over 20 years. By combining abstract nature sounds with strings and brass alongside Gas's minimalist cover designs incorporating photographs he took in the forest, Voigt shows his strong affinity for Romanticism and portrays the forest as a mysterious or melancholic place. Gas fantasizes about a sound body ranging somewhere between Schönberg and Kraftwerk, between bugle and bass drum. Gas is Wagner in the guise of glam rock, Hansel and Gretel on acid. An endless march through the undergrowth-into the disco-of an imaginary, misty forest. In 2017, Gas made it's long-awaited return with the release of fifth full-length Narkopop. The album had a much more organic, almost orchestral sound than the project's prior, loop-based output. Already one year later the 6th Gas album Rausch followed, an hypnotic trip that is meant to be heard from beginning to end as a whole. With his "comeback" in 2017 Wolfgang Voigt also restarted Gas live. The breathtaking audio-visual performance has since then enchanted Gas followers worldwide and has sold out places like The Art Institute of Chicago or The Barbican in London.
The "Gas" Vinyl Maxi by the artist Gas, released under the renowned label Kompakt, is a mesmerizing journey into ambient techno and minimalism. This release encapsulates Wolfgang Voigt's signature sound: lush, immersive soundscapes that blend hypnotic rhythms with ethereal textures. The tracks unfold like sonic landscapes, inviting listeners to lose themselves in layers of subtle melodies and deep atmospheres. Kompakt, based in Cologne, Germany, has been a pioneering force in electronic music since its founding in 1998. Known for championing innovative artists and shaping the global techno scene, Kompakt stands as a symbol of quality and forward-thinking production. Gas (Wolfgang Voigt) is celebrated for redefining ambient music; his previous works such as "Zauberberg," "Königsforst," and "Pop" are considered classics that have influenced countless producers worldwide.
