Marko Fürstenberg – “Ghosts From The Past” In certain ever-present moments, the ghosts from the
past are following us. And sometimes they do so in order to gently help us on our way. We can find
this theme on Marko Fürstenberg’s latest release “Ghosts From The Past”. Marko, currently living in
Leipzig, has been experimenting with sound since 1999.
Rooted in classical Dubtechno, he not only knows how to interpret it, he’s extending it further with his
own personal aesthetic. In 2001, his first releases on a number of netlabels gained him a broad
listenership. Then in 2003, his first album “Gesamtlaufzeit” was born. (Then years later, a son was
born as well, but we’ll get back to that.) Since 2005, Marko has been constantly releasing Vinyl on
labels like Ornaments, A.r.t.less, Echocord Colour and Rotary Cocktail. And also remixes for labels
such as Resopal, Telrae, Freund der Familie, and many more, which all demonstrates the quality and
sheer competence of his work.
With his new album “Ghosts From The Past”, Mr. Fürstenberg doesn’t say goodbye to an old chapter,
but he’s rather building a bridge to a new one. Familiar elements are the mortar to a complete musical
piece, with an extended foundation, new accents, and a fresh face. GFTP is a musical retrospective of
a new way of life – with a child – that was born in November 2010. The conception and creation of this
album began to take form in parallel to that of his unborn son, as an almost aural twin. Marko’s wife
helped with the album artwork while also carrying a little Marko inside her. So again the past was
knocking on the door. Good morning!
Meanwhile, over the three and a half years in production, Marko was also actively involving his now
toddler child in the sound research for his new album. ”Stolbenkraft” includes made-up vocalizations
from his son, mixed with a sneeze to an euphony. In “Woahhh”, he’s exploring the playful dispute of
his offspring with several toys, e.g. a Thai wooden frog, amongst others. His tendency for his style of
pleasant interweaving sound experimentation is shown on the track “Piano”, which reconstitutes
moments of a piano concert, while putting them into new structures.
Quite some time has passed in between each production, and the diverse accents of time in which this
came together, can be heard. Everything on this album melds together organically. On “GFTP”, the
Zeitgeist is touched, an Arabic singer can find her spotlight in a colourful soundscape, which
alternately holds and catches us, and then ultimately let’s us go again.
