Red Ink Project is a
new project from guitarist Holger Jendis and his friends (Gordon-drums,
Magnus-bass and Bernd-Flute) in Berlin. Holger gave me this CD-R at the ØSC concert
in Berlin and I had also met him on the Spaceboat a few days before. Very nice
man and they make some pretty cool music. The CD features 6 tracks in a little
over an hour. The music is quite experimental, searching, floating spacey. The
opening track, Shukuhachi, is very dreamy with some flute, bass, guitar and the
drums don’t come in until half way or so.
Daybreak features a lot of trippy guitar and effects. Euphoria features some really spaced out
stuff going on. A sort of groove starts to develop but not what you would
expect. Some far out panning also happening at times in the mix. Quite original
piece of music and rocking out at the end. Miku has a long 3min space out
before much happens and then a nasty guitar rifff changes the mood totally. Around
5mins the drums kick in and a slow pace leads things forward with the main
focus still on the distorted guitar for the rest of the track but some nice
bass lines are played as well. Dreck is 15mins long and takes quite a lot time
to really get going, with a lot of experimentation going on. This track is a
bit more multi-layered with some synth like stuff going on as well. Graffiti is
the last track., also another long one over 13mins.
The band have 10 releases on bandcamp so there is much more music to
explore.
