kollektion eins by Reichenhall
From a Kreuzberg basement emerges a band influenced by many musical styles: Techno, Minimal, Experimental, Wave, Kraut, Ambient, and Noise.
"Kollektion Eins" is a compilation that assembles tracks from various albums, like mosaic stones, to form a novel composition.
It all began when Lukas and Bernhard, in spontaneous jam sessions, explored the boundaries between noise, sound, and music. Lukas, who already had experience as a DJ and radio producer, shredded live outtakes and individual tracks from Bernhard's various projects with his DJ console, creating a rhythmic foundation for Bernhard's synthesizer and keyboard passages—the birth of the "Kombinat für recycelte elektronische Musik" (Combine for Recycled Electronic Music).
What started as a casual experiment quickly developed into a serious project. Other musicians joined, Mathieu Sylvestre (Real-time Sound Transformations) and Volker Lankow (Soundscapes & Percussions). Extensive jam sessions were subsequently meticulously edited and produced, turning them into sophisticated compositions, each piece a masterpiece in itself.
And the result is impressive: In just four years, Reichenhall has released no fewer than 12 albums! Each a concept album, a musical journey that captivates the listener.

Reichenhall is a combine for the recycling of electronic music, the core band consists of Bernhard Wöstheinrich, Lukas Radiomodul and Mathieu Sylvestre.
Like a junkyard for electronic music, everything they come across is taken apart and broken down into its component parts. From this they generate new audio tracks, which are then shot back into the audio cosmos.
