Phillip Sollmann, widely known for his experimental techno work under the alias Efdemin, steps into new creative territory with Monophonie, released in 2020 on the A-TON label. The project is dedicated to uniting different strands of utopian music, drawing subtle connections between club rhythms, far-flung traditional musics, and the 20th-century outsider explorations of figures like Harry Bertoia and Harry Partch. Conceived, composed, and mixed entirely by Sollmann, this album is a hybrid of live and sequenced recordings captured in a performance context.
Monophonie is an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand the deeper currents running beneath Sollmann's acclaimed techno output, offering a fascinating glimpse into the musical ideas that inform his constantly evolving style. The album challenges genre boundaries at every turn — tracks like "Plain" conjure the energy of dance music without relying on conventional club structures, demonstrating Sollmann's mastery of rhythm and atmosphere. Presented in a gatefold sleeve featuring striking stage and performance photography, this is a thoughtfully packaged record that reflects the artistic ambition of the project itself.
