BLENDWERK is a concept album in the form of an artist book—a kaleidoscope of sound, text, images and structure. It’s ostentatious on purpose: a potpourri, a quodlibet, where music mutates into narrative, essay, manual, description—even a last will. Photographs, sketches, liner notes and deliberate “non-essentials” tangle with a remix-text; key literature is boiled down into potential lyrics. Record and book, turntable and thesis, BLENDWERK is overflowing, sly, witty—smoke and mirrors—and yet rigorously present in the here and now. Above all, it is about music, art, live performance, inspiration and exaggeration. BLENDWERK is BLENDWERK. BLENDWERK is a record. is an artist book. is a turntable. is a thesis—an assertion. A multimedia concept: sound, text, images, structure—interwoven, blended. Ostentatious by design: a potpourri, a quodlibet. Music becomes text—narrative, essay, manual, description, last will. Photos and sketches, liner notes and “unnecessary” things; a remix-text; literature reduced to lyric seeds. It is overflowing, potent, clever, witty—much and nothing—yet never indecipherable, always present. It is about music, art, live performance; about inspiration and exaggeration. It is all smoke & mirrors. BLENDWERK is BLENDWERK.
