Hans Reichel - The Death of the Rare Bird Ymir.mp4

The Death of the Rare Bird Ymir, 1979. How this music could be heard in 1979, decades before fingerpicking and slapping was made popular by cross genres artists who made it cute (Kaki King) and pop ? Without being just about textures, Hans Reichel doesn't stop there, he is endlessly inventive of new techniques and sounds. In this 1979 album, Hans also explored the idea of sound environment with noises coming out of everywhere and even instrumentation bits. Later in his life, he invented the daxophone with pitched up and down voices of all the voices of the childhood you thought only you heard this way. R.I.P. Hans Reichel [May 10, 1949 -- November 22, 2011]
