Vital Weekly 1100 -

This new band name of course consists of adding together the name of Katja Institute and that of Peter Wullen. The first have been responsible for a series of works that are masterpieces of obscurity, such as a CDR with no cover, no text. This one has just an image and you have to look up the Bandcamp page to known just a tiny bit more. Peter Wullen is from Belgium and his ambient works exist mainly online, so it’s no surprise why you didn’t come across his name before in these pages. The only other bit of information we learn from the Bandcamp page about this release is what is one track on the CDR are nine individual ones here, but opening up the WAV file this also becomes quite clear. I am not sure how this collaboration was generated, i.e. is Wullen reworking sounds from Katja Institute or vice versa? Or is it all more complicated with bouncing sound material back and forth? Whoever had the final say in this work, it sounds very much along the previous work of Katja Institute, which means very minimal and very dark blocks of computerized ambient music. Well, maybe not computer. I am actually not sure here; maybe the machine like hum that lingers on inside the Institute makes me think this more computer actually. Though pieces are minimal they are not without movement or even melody, as in the piece towards the end (and here I noticed the CDR doesn’t match up with the Bandcamp version) there is vaguely going back and forth of what could be called a melody. The Wullen influence, maybe? I am not sure. Seventy minutes of pure minimal ambient bliss. The four-plus hours of last time was perhaps a bit much but this is the perfect length get fully immerse yourself into what is offered here. I think a near dark room would work perfect for this.
