Information
Concrete marks André van Rensburg’s first solo full-length album project. Recorded and produced in Taipei from 2006 to 2007, it reflects the surreal environment of a modern world in conflict with itself, finding beauty and sensuality in the chaos of the modern city. Blending rock, jazz, classical and ambient styles and textures, it creates an album that will startle, amuse and entrance any listener. The music on Concrete is highly intense and is filled with unexpected turns and changes, creating a sonic blend of dissonance juxtaposed with traditional harmony, thereby questioning the relationship between these in a new and unique way. Rather than seeing his work as “experimental” or “avant-garde” André prefers to describe his music as “hyper-realism”, reflecting daily life and thought in sound texture. As such it does not always have predictable repetitions or outcomes. Never taking himself too seriously, however, Concrete is still highly enjoyable, playful and humorous in its experimentations.
