Editions Mego – EMEGO 269
With over 2 decades of formal exploration and exhilarating abstraction
Get On is, somewhat surprisingly, only the fourth solo Pita full length.
Peter Rehberg has always been vouched for pushing the very limits of
the technology du jour, be it software or in recent years a complex
modular set. Rehberg’s motives are one of unbridled exploration often
resulting in extreme and exhilarating audio works.
Having spearheaded the contemporary electronic sound with his
uncompromising explorations of noise, rhythm and extreme computer music,
he has also worked with numerous experimental musicians in
collaboration. Rehberg stands in the wake of a sonic revolution, once
fringe, which transformed over time into the sound of a generation of
experimental geeks and club freaks worldwide.
Get On follows on from the 2016 release Get In. As with other titles in
his ‘Get’ series we have an unwieldy blend of noise, abstraction,
gnarled rhythm and blurred melody. Both analogue and digital tools are
deployed as a means of expressing something outside of everyday
electronics. ‘AMFM’ launches proceedings with some delightfully
disorientating ricocheting electronics setting off a subversive sonic
spectrum. ‘Frozen Jumper’ presents some ugly skittering electronics
which rotate into exquisitely mangled forms before launching into an
unsettling euphoria. The last piece ‘Motivation’ is a towering sensitive
work, simultaneously haunted and emotionally moving. Get On marks
another monumental work in the ongoing evolution from one of the ground
zero pioneers of contemporary radical electronic music. As
uncompromising as ever this is Pita in his prime. Emotion rung from the
most twisted of frames.
