about

Chasing slower music; not making many plans; not aiming to reach a specific concept; gently resuscitating a lo-fi aesthetics which served as the basis of his debut 'Devius Edits EP', the German producer tmpl delivers emotions and thoughts through dynamic digital/analog blends, field recordings and a singular sampling direction.

The music standards have undoubtedly evolved throughout the decades, nevertheless, absent from the techniques, the 'home-recording' and 'do-it-yourself' approach has also followed the path. We should be aware that music, like love, is not a genuinely rational thought process. Then, working within a lower sound quality than the usual contemporary standards, tmpl's solo work is the type of rough sound that spread out a different meaning to a very careful detailed one, as a reminder of the human element.

When speaking of sampling composition, 'Dorothy Yokota' is a mashup edit of parts of Dorothy Ashby‘s track 'For Some We Love' from 1970 and a beat loop from Susuma Yokota‘s track 'Saboten' from 1994. In 'Szabó‘s Dreams', tmpl sampled guitar parts of Gábor Szabó's track 'Fire Dance' from 1968, and onirically featured GATS who jammed on it with an analog synthesizer. Last but not least, 'wu.m.o' contains some tiny samples from 'Unknown Mortal Orchestra's track 'So Good At Being In Trouble' from 2013. For the credit he put all the artists as a hint in each track title.

Blending world sounds, psychedellic rock and acid, rearranged and extended with a flutter vibe and, above all, towards simplicity, tmpl captured a rawer form of a musical idea and focused more in the samples wrapped on the percussive line than key parts or hooks to call them remixes. Based on the current perfect phonographic industry, the EP could echo as unpolished, amateurish, but its occasional inconsistency and tiny saturation mistakes are charismatic. Surrounded by purposeful fuzz and buzz, this is a handmade humble collage sound that strives to resound taped in someone's garage or basement. For some, sometimes sonic perfection is... boring.
