Unconditional Contours

acmochi There are few thingz in life that I would award 4/4 starz on Amason. There is a church near where I live that has a big cross that's pretty cool because it's so big. 4/4 starz. There's a traffic light on my way to work that is always green. 4/4 starz. True unconditional love is a rarity in life. 4/4 starz. I have an unconditional love for the contourz of Legowelt's slender frame. Everything that he releases, be it an album or a pack of samplez, deserves 4/4 starz, becuz I stan Legowelt. 💖💖💖💖 Favorite track: These phenomena are not well understood.

Dominik André If you think you’ve heard Legowelt and thought it couldn’t become any better. 'Unconditional Contours' teaches you better. Favorite track: SMEM23 Digital Clap Trap Promars Prophet.

Aaron Parker Pairs well with Muraresku's "The Immortality Key". One envisions a distant future archeologist digging through the transistor rubble of SMEM, shocked at the evidence of synthesizers produced thousands of miles away. "Whoever this Prophet was, his sacraments found their way from distant California, across trade routes, to basements and monasteries around the globe. His acolytes must have been dedicated indeed. Guardians of a caustic aural pharmakon, long lost in the wind of time." Favorite track: Evolution EVS-1 Promars and Prophet 5.

Spa Ceman Brilliant record. Maybe the best Legowelt so far.

loubret Cause my eldest son was born in Fribourg, cause Legowelt is a synth master mind, cause his encounter with SMEM is very promising as is the first track.

«When I first saw this collection, I was truly flabbergasted. Endless rows of synthesisers - some so obscure I had not ever seen nor heard of them. This place will probably turn into the world’s most magical place for synths.» - Legowelt

Legowelt has been a key figure in the Dutch electronic music scene since the early nineties, steadily releasing timeless music that merges the pioneering sounds of Detroit and Chicago with idiosyncratic sci-fi fascinations. «Unconditional Contours» captures Legowelt’s stint at the Swiss Museum for Electronic Music Instruments (SMEM), after he was invited to be the first artist in residence at the institution’s «Playroom» project.

Legowelt visited SMEM in Fribourg, Switzerland, in early 2019 to explore the collection and record music. Possessing an extensive collection of synthesizers himself, he used hand-picked synthesizers from the museum’s archive: the rare Farfisa Synthorchestra, the EVS-1 Evolution, the «shittiest rompler ever made», amongst many others. The 10-track album «Unconditional Contours» is both a probe into the vast collection of SMEM, and a display of Legowelt’s well established compositional qualities. Leaving ample space for new sounds to unfold, Legowelt invokes gentle trips, brooding excursions, bleep heavy soundscapes, and reimagined elements of dance music classicism.

SMEM and -OUS are launching the «smem+ous» series to document the «Playroom» residencies. A limited edition of this album was already sent out to early supporters of the «Playroom». Founded in 2016 and based on a collection of more than 5000 synthesizers, organs, drum machines and effects that had been collected over a 35 year period by Klemens Niklaus Trenkle, SMEM offers residencies, studio sessions, talks and workshops.
