Jorg Follert's melodic, electronic-leaning work as
Wechsel Garland combines the organic and the synthetic for productions that employ elements like organ, accordion, acoustic guitar, melodica, and Fender Rhodes. The Cologne-based producer, who released an album as
Wunder on Karaoke Kalk in 1998, issued the first
Wechsel Garland full-length on Morr Music two years later. The tracks for
Wechsel Garland were initially intended to accompany a ballet production that Follert had been commissioned to compose music for. Follert returned to Karaoke Kalk for 2002's Liberation Von History, the second
Wechsel Garland LP. Follert also does graphic work for LP sleeves and has worked for the German music television channel VIVA. ~ Andy Kellman
