StillStand is the ambient side of Martin Steinebach, also the guy behind Monoid (Rhythmic Industrial) and Conscientia Peccati (Ritual Industrial). The new work takes StillStand in a new way. "Symbiosen" is a little bit influenced by Monoid. Great and wonderful soundscapes are combinated with discreeted rhythms structures. Imaginary sound pictures, sometimes rough and dark, sometimes beautiful and innocent.
"After my previous releases as StillStand and the "Heimat" set from beginning of 2001, "Symbiosen" is a new approach to abstract ambient music. StillStand is still strictly synthetically music, atmospheres are created and not imitated - but with "Symbiosen" new aspects are included in the sound. While before sounds were the most important medium and rhythm and melody were secondary, now all three aspects get their share of influence in the tracks. There are beats and loops, melodic repeating lines and spherical parts, all colliding inside of the tracks. This is the concept of "Symbiosen": Using the methods of my project Monoid, rhythm and distortion to influence the sound of StillStand and to increase the range of possibilities. "Symbiosen" was recorded right after "Heimat", where Monoid and Conscientia Peccati (my third project) have been transformed to fit into an ambient concept - and I found it most interesting how the sound of Monoid and the concept of StillStand worked together. Now, after trying to bring this concept further into a melting of ambient and industrial sounds, I think "Symbiosen" is more accessible then the previous StillStand releases as there is more activity, more movement. Calling the result "Symbiosen" (symbioses) made sense as this is truly what it is all about.Similar projects dealing with melting of my other projects are planned for the future."
