robert lepenik: tapes, loops, guitar, delays bernhard lang: sampler, notebook, delays, synthesizer edda strobl: video - loops

LALELOO ist ein elektronisches improvisationsduo, das ausschließlich mit verschiedenen arten von loops arbeitet. Die loops werden von kassettenrekordern, samplern, notebooks etc. abgerufen und mehrfach live verschachtelt. die abläufe basieren einerseits auf vorgefertigten materialien (samples, tapes), andererseits auf live eingespielten klängen (radio, gitarre, mikrofon etc.). Alle stücke basieren auf improvisationen.

LALELOO is an electronic improvisational duo that works exclusively with different kinds of loops. In their performances they interweave these loops (played from tape players, samplers, notebooks, and such) in several layers. The source for this is pre-recorded material (like samples and tapes) on the one hand and live played sounds (radio, guitar, microphone,....) on the other hand. All pieces are based on improvisation.

Sample

"Now, this is experimental noise art. But it's not of the "ahh, let's go to sleep and slide into another universe" soothing variety. 
Nope. This is not chillout noise, as are many of the luscious experimental CDs in my collection. 
At times the music could be the captured burst of a technological world in the throes of an electro-organic blend like a record
skipping tralalala over a slowly stuttering piano. One almost envisions, what with the very random flavor of this avant garde set of tracks, a sort
of sound-eating frog sitting about on its pad, randomly shooting out its tongue and capturing bits and pieces of sound as they fly by, then belching
them back out in a semi-digested conglomerate. By the way, that's not an
insult, just in case you were wondering."

LALELOO is an electronic improvisational duo (Laleloo are: Robert Lepenik (tapes, loops, guitar, delays), 
Bernhard Lang (sampler, notebook, delays, synthesizer), Edda Strobl (video - loops)) that works exclusively with different kinds of loops. 
And the title of the release tells that too. 
The subtitle of the release is 'live in concert' because tracks are recorded live on concerts on various locations between 2001 and 2003 so Loop Pool is release designed out
of excerpts of live performances. In their performances they interweave these loops (played from tape players, samplers, notebooks, and such) in several layers. Sources for this are
pre-recorded material (samples and tapes) on one and live played sounds (radio, guitar, microphone...) on other hand. 
All pieces are based on improvisation and all that combination and gluing, copying, cutting and pasting of sounds results in experimental noise art
textures and sound collage. Ambiences, pads, noises, short cuts, sampled instruments, skipping, vibrating sounds, sinewaves, signals,
cut ups are making randomly oriented electronic structure. You can recognize that all tracks are recorded live because sound is a bit weak. 
But that's not disturbing the enjoyment of noisy but organic feel and combination of the recordings.
