Cicadidae is the third album by south German-based Kammerflimmer Kollektief. Lovingly assembled over a two year period, it very much belongs to the current tendency in contemporary music for mixing up 'played' and 'programmed' music, acoustic and electronic instruments, high culture and street culture. Within this occasionally fascinicating new musical expression, it is of course possible to lay down something unique. Combining brass and string instruments, computer, drums, percussion and keyboards, this is not just an exercise in sound but rather a collective expression by musicians communicating with each other in the spaces between control and loss of control, intuition and reflection, density and transparency. The roots are everywhere; in a childhood spent listening to folk, free jazz and psychedelia as well as an occupation with the decomposition and alteration of rock, jazz and electronic music since the beginning of the 90s cf. the fine crackling and grinding of the digital generation which subtly underpins it.
