Visor is a side project of members of Koln's experimental electronic scene associated with the Karaoke Kalk label, and is comprised of Jens Massel (
Kandis, Motel), Jorg Follert (Saucer, Motel), and Tom Steinle (Kaki-Pakt, Meta Jazz). This brief CD-only release (technically credited to the Tom label, though close enough to Karaoke Kalk to be largely the same difference) is a warm, chalky run through atmospheric electro-acoustics, combining resonant bass tones with droning synths and bits of guitar, piano, and percussion. Both wonderfully abstract and immediately graspable,
Visor is a soundtrack-y mediation on slow, repeating figures suggestive of early
Brian Eno or recent
Mouse On Mars.
