<p>This is the limited 2010 reissue of the 2008 Palac debut album <em>Ghosts (PM004)</em>. It includes both the Ghost album tracks as well as the Clairvaux EP tracks, a selection of 12 tracks gliding among precise, stripped-down digital rhythms and some flickering organic sound. Combining both the blissfull and highly acclaimed <em>Clairvaux EP</em> and the full Ghosts album the limited edition, this CD comes along with some almost romantic pieces shifting towards glimmering melancholy, with a faint of hope peeking out of swarming electronic glitch, pastoral strings, crisp digital cuts and shudders of other, barely recognizable things. Both comforting and bewildering <em>Ghosts</em> marks the human and emotional aesthics in Palac works, some vital openess towards texture and sound, leaving us to glide along for some time. </p>

<p><strong>Review by Jos Smolders, Earlabs, December 2008</strong></p>
<p>Peter Prautzsch is the person behind the name of Palac. December 2007 we reviewed his release &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; Re-reading my review and comparing that to what I hear now I think that Prautzsch is an adventurous composer. Whereas &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; was easy on the ear, certainly drone related to the unexperienced ear &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; is definitely different. The first works are rhythmic, bumpy, danceable. Deep basses, crackling noises, dance oriented beats. Well produced, with which I mean that it&#8217;s done tastefully and as a dance track should be produced. Rich, full sounds, each instrument with its own acoustic and stereophonic space. By applying the same (beat and bass) samples again in each composition the complete album remains a coherent whole. </p>
<p>As we progress through the record (the release is available as a download via beatport.com AND on disc) other things besides the beat and groove become gradually more important. Next to the beats there are short snippets of acoustic material and some synth lines. Just like in &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; Palac here too is structurally quite strong. He builds up his works in a good tempo, breaks are at the right places and he knows when it&#8217;s time to call it quits. There is one strange duck in this pond: the final piece. This one lasts longer than any of the previous ones. It is a string quartet (?) playing motives repeatedly, quite slowly. Actually quite minimalistic. It reminded me strongly of the Arditti Quartet playing. Peter tells me the composition is constructed around 12 channels of viols each looping at a different pace. The result is very nice. Prautzsch produced again a very nice series of works!</p>
<p><strong>Review by Christopher Holak, Half Stereo, November 2008</strong></p>
<p>Palac is not as most of the contemporary Berliners. He is not a minimalist at all. Hence he is not a man with a simple plan. He‚Äôs into darkness, graveyards and undetermined acoustic territories where sooner of later you will find &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; also name of his debut album, released from his label Palacmusic. Peter Prautzsch aka Palac‚Äôs music is hard to explain. But let&#8217;s try. Think of Funckarma, mixed with Susumu Yokota and Aleksi Perala. I guess you have a model in mind now. But you have to listen to this album, in order to get the whole picture. Cause the canvas is pretty big. Post micro lap top music arrangements combined with acoustic melancholy will catch you. Even there is a breeze of unhumanity inside, the piano strings or voices will reach for existance.</p>
<p>A very strong atmosphere, which you can only find on really worked on projects and pieces. I never say it is easy to listen and understand this kind of music. But in the end you do not need any intellectual level, to be aware or to understand and perceive this kind of music. This is it. This is something dark but friendly. Like a part of your body. Striking slowly and recapturing your mentality. &#8216;Eleanor &#038; Barbara&#8217; is one of the best tracks that &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; album carry. Also &#8216;Golpa North&#8217; also states that Palac also has problems with the grey Berlin winters. All of the 8 tracks in the album are very well organized and established. Dozage of sound and scape is in perfect balance. No more or less. Less is more? More is less? Or anyone who passes Palac&#8217;s music is rather careless. You choose.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Eric J. Herboth, Lost at Sea, December 2008</strong></p>
<p>Hailing from Berlin, Palac, the solo venture of composer Peter Prautzsch, straddles the great digital divide of modern music, with one foot firmly planted in the micro-bleeps of laptop arrangements and the other dipping a toe in the vague atmospherics of cinematic instrumentals. If you mashed up Salvo Beta with Eluvium, you&#8217;d get something at least in the same ballpark as Palac. (And yes, Prautzsch is aware of the Will Oldham-related project of a very similar name, I asked). Ghosts starts off steady, the frigid synthetic cadence of &#8216;On Arianne and Francois&#8217; gently rocked by the soft bellowing of distortion and a few hints at something more sinister crying from the unseen depths. The track is rather primitive and unambitious, and if it weren&#8217;t for the infectiousness of the choppy digital beat the whole assemblage might fall apart. Essentially an exercise in minimalism, most of Ghosts suffers from a similar uncertainty. Later, on the six-minute long &#8216;Eleanor and Babara&#8217; muted tones give way to a Dopplerized groan of ethereal voices that, if not clearly indicative of the album‚Äôs title, conjure up images of a church choir going down with a sinking ship. Undaunted, Prautzsch gives the humanistic elements &#8211; which include hints of harmonium-like breaths &#8211; only a bit of room before the glitchery takes over. On the following &#8216;Perish&#8217; however, the cold digital tones give way to a thoroughly lush and dream-like cloud that meanders a while before quietly relinquishing itself.</p>
<p>In the end Ghosts is a competent effort, somewhat hindered by the mechanics of its disparate parts. On the one hand the restraint Prautzsch shows in employing the organic sounds (in this context tape hiss would sound organic) is admirable and certainly lends tenseness to the album&#8217;s atmosphere. On the other, however, the very nature of the micro sounds makes the laptop elements rather overbearing. This hitch may just be a Catch 22 for Prautzsch; he&#8217;s staked his flag in the minimalist camp, so there are fewer distractions at his disposal to bleed the sharp contrast between software glitches and spooky groans. As much an art project as an album, Ghosts is something you should shelve during a dinner party but could try running through later, while doing dishes after a bottle or two of wine. Just make sure you&#8217;ve locked the doors.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Andreas Stoll, Out of Space, November 2008</strong></p>
<p>Der November scheint der Monat des Peter Prautzschs zu sein. Nachdem er bereits vor einem Jahr mit „Vor der Stadt&#8221; kurz vor Jahresende ein feines und durchaus herbstliches Album ablieferte, wird in diesem Spätherbst das Debüt-Album seines Pseudonyms Palacs veröffentlicht. Passend zu der sich immer mehr ausbreitenden Dunkelheit, kommt die neueste Veröffentlichung „Ghosts&#8221; auch sehr gespensterhaft und unheimlich daher. Das Album hat allerdings wenig zu tun mit Disney-Land-Geisterbahnen oder Horrorfilmen aus Hollywood. Vielmehr wohnt den Tracks von „Ghosts&#8221; immer auch eine gewisse Melancholie und manchmal sogar eine Prise Romantik inne. Es wird also nicht die Geschichte von mordenden Zombies erzählt, sondern ganz im Stile von viktorianischen Geistergeschichten ein wohliges Gruseln erzeugt, bei dem die Tragik der verblichenen Spukgestalten nie vergessen wird &#8211; ein bisschen wie „The Crow&#8221; ohne Gewalt.</p>
<p>Wie flüchtige Geister verschwinden die wenig regelmässigen und verspielten Rhythmen immer wieder unerwartet, tauchen dann wieder aus dem Nichts auf oder werden plötzlich in ihrer Lautstärke intensiviert. Auch die eingespielten Samples und die Soundscapes werden mehrfach ohne Vorwarnung abgebrochen, dem Mobiliar eines Geisterhauses gleich, das wie von Geisterhand plötzlich verschwindet. Verstärkt wird die unheimliche Atmosphäre durch Streicher aller Art und gelegentlich einsetzendem Banshee-Klagegesang. Die im zweiten Abschnitt erwähnte Romantik, kann im ersten Track mit dem Namen „Arianne and Francois&#8221; entdeckt werden, wo neben glichiger Elektronik auch immer wieder warme Soundstrukturen eingespielt werden. Darauf folgt „Golpa Nord&#8221;, welcher einen Verknüpfung zu „Vor der Stadt&#8221; schafft, indem er auf den darauf enthaltenen Track „Golpa Sued&#8221; verweist. Hat out-of-space.ch „Golpa Sued&#8221; noch als zu lang geraten empfunden, macht Prautzsch bei „Golpa Nord&#8221; alles richtig: Einige nur kurz angespielte Samples, unter anderem ein schweres Schnaufen und eine Sirene, sowie der kaum voraussehbare Verlauf der Beats, lassen „Golpa Sued&#8221; zu dem unheimlichsten Titel des Albums werden.</p>
<p>Dunkel beginnt Track 4. Allerdings wird die Dunkelheit bald von melancholischen bis süsslichen Streichern und Gesangs-Samples aufgehellt und es entsteht eine dichte, beinahe pastorale Stimmung. Fast ein wenig wie Jóhann Jóhannssons „The Great God Pan Is Dead&#8221;. Den ergreifendsten Track spart sich Palac aber für den Schluss aus. An barocke Kammermusik mit Streichinstrumenten erinnert das das Album beschliessende „Shift&#8221;. Wer Colleens „Les Ondes Silencieuses&#8221; mag und an Murcofs „Versailles Sessions&#8221; Gefallen findet, wird sich wohl auch für diesen Titel begeistern können. Im Gegensatz zu der im Sommer veröffentlichten „Clairvaux EP&#8221; funktioniert „Ghosts&#8221; auch als Album und nicht nur als lose Songsammlung. Die spukhafte Stimmung wird mit zahllosen Details unterstützt und durch die immer vorhandenen Emotionen entsteht eine Tiefe, die zu berühren vermag. Die alles andere als natürlich klingenden Elektronik-Effekte und die orchestralen Elementen harmonieren dabei bestens. Da Prautzsch unter dem Pseudonym Palac fast immer Beats einsetzt, ist „Ghosts&#8221; zudem zugänglicher als „Vor der Stadt&#8221;.</p>

<p>With straight quotes as much as ghostly shimmmers, &#8216;Talking to Ghosts&#8217; has gathered 10 international artists to rework the 2008 &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; debut-album by Palac, using only what the original release has to offer, featuring new joyful twists, wide dissonant drones and patient re-compositions. Not much in the sense of a traditional remix release, but with the general spirit of openess drifting alongside the patterns and samples rumbling through the tracks. &#8216;Talking to Ghosts&#8217; is a collection of imaginary places made from gently glitch, compressed orchestral maneuvers and phantom tones, with a partly transparent ghost of internationalism living within.</p>

<p>Please welcome the haunting album-debut <em>Ghosts</em> album by electronic artist Palac from Berlin, a selection of 8 tracks gliding among precise, stripped-down digital rhythms and some flickering organic sound. Just a few months after releasing the blissfull and highly acclaimed <em>Clairvaux EP</em> Palac returns with a new approach, some almost romantic pieces shifting towards glimmering melancholy, with a faint of hope peeking out of swarming electronic glitch, pastoral strings, crisp digital cuts and shudders of other, barely recognizable things. Both comforting and bewildering <em>Ghosts</em> marks the human and emotional aesthics in Palac works, some vital openess towards texture and sound, leaving us to glide along for some time. </p>

<p><strong>Review by Jos Smolders, Earlabs, December 2008</strong></p>
<p>Peter Prautzsch is the person behind the name of Palac. December 2007 we reviewed his release &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; Re-reading my review and comparing that to what I hear now I think that Prautzsch is an adventurous composer. Whereas &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; was easy on the ear, certainly drone related to the unexperienced ear &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; is definitely different. The first works are rhythmic, bumpy, danceable. Deep basses, crackling noises, dance oriented beats. Well produced, with which I mean that it&#8217;s done tastefully and as a dance track should be produced. Rich, full sounds, each instrument with its own acoustic and stereophonic space. By applying the same (beat and bass) samples again in each composition the complete album remains a coherent whole. </p>
<p>As we progress through the record (the release is available as a download via beatport.com AND on disc) other things besides the beat and groove become gradually more important. Next to the beats there are short snippets of acoustic material and some synth lines. Just like in &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; Palac here too is structurally quite strong. He builds up his works in a good tempo, breaks are at the right places and he knows when it&#8217;s time to call it quits. There is one strange duck in this pond: the final piece. This one lasts longer than any of the previous ones. It is a string quartet (?) playing motives repeatedly, quite slowly. Actually quite minimalistic. It reminded me strongly of the Arditti Quartet playing. Peter tells me the composition is constructed around 12 channels of viols each looping at a different pace. The result is very nice. Prautzsch produced again a very nice series of works!</p>
<p><strong>Review by Christopher Holak, Half Stereo, November 2008</strong></p>
<p>Palac is not as most of the contemporary Berliners. He is not a minimalist at all. Hence he is not a man with a simple plan. He‚Äôs into darkness, graveyards and undetermined acoustic territories where sooner of later you will find &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; also name of his debut album, released from his label Palacmusic. Peter Prautzsch aka Palac‚Äôs music is hard to explain. But let&#8217;s try. Think of Funckarma, mixed with Susumu Yokota and Aleksi Perala. I guess you have a model in mind now. But you have to listen to this album, in order to get the whole picture. Cause the canvas is pretty big. Post micro lap top music arrangements combined with acoustic melancholy will catch you. Even there is a breeze of unhumanity inside, the piano strings or voices will reach for existance.</p>
<p>A very strong atmosphere, which you can only find on really worked on projects and pieces. I never say it is easy to listen and understand this kind of music. But in the end you do not need any intellectual level, to be aware or to understand and perceive this kind of music. This is it. This is something dark but friendly. Like a part of your body. Striking slowly and recapturing your mentality. &#8216;Eleanor &#038; Barbara&#8217; is one of the best tracks that &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; album carry. Also &#8216;Golpa North&#8217; also states that Palac also has problems with the grey Berlin winters. All of the 8 tracks in the album are very well organized and established. Dozage of sound and scape is in perfect balance. No more or less. Less is more? More is less? Or anyone who passes Palac&#8217;s music is rather careless. You choose.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Eric J. Herboth, Lost at Sea, December 2008</strong></p>
<p>Hailing from Berlin, Palac, the solo venture of composer Peter Prautzsch, straddles the great digital divide of modern music, with one foot firmly planted in the micro-bleeps of laptop arrangements and the other dipping a toe in the vague atmospherics of cinematic instrumentals. If you mashed up Salvo Beta with Eluvium, you&#8217;d get something at least in the same ballpark as Palac. (And yes, Prautzsch is aware of the Will Oldham-related project of a very similar name, I asked). Ghosts starts off steady, the frigid synthetic cadence of &#8216;On Arianne and Francois&#8217; gently rocked by the soft bellowing of distortion and a few hints at something more sinister crying from the unseen depths. The track is rather primitive and unambitious, and if it weren&#8217;t for the infectiousness of the choppy digital beat the whole assemblage might fall apart. Essentially an exercise in minimalism, most of Ghosts suffers from a similar uncertainty. Later, on the six-minute long &#8216;Eleanor and Babara&#8217; muted tones give way to a Dopplerized groan of ethereal voices that, if not clearly indicative of the album‚Äôs title, conjure up images of a church choir going down with a sinking ship. Undaunted, Prautzsch gives the humanistic elements &#8211; which include hints of harmonium-like breaths &#8211; only a bit of room before the glitchery takes over. On the following &#8216;Perish&#8217; however, the cold digital tones give way to a thoroughly lush and dream-like cloud that meanders a while before quietly relinquishing itself.</p>
<p>In the end Ghosts is a competent effort, somewhat hindered by the mechanics of its disparate parts. On the one hand the restraint Prautzsch shows in employing the organic sounds (in this context tape hiss would sound organic) is admirable and certainly lends tenseness to the album&#8217;s atmosphere. On the other, however, the very nature of the micro sounds makes the laptop elements rather overbearing. This hitch may just be a Catch 22 for Prautzsch; he&#8217;s staked his flag in the minimalist camp, so there are fewer distractions at his disposal to bleed the sharp contrast between software glitches and spooky groans. As much an art project as an album, Ghosts is something you should shelve during a dinner party but could try running through later, while doing dishes after a bottle or two of wine. Just make sure you&#8217;ve locked the doors.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Andreas Stoll, Out of Space, November 2008</strong></p>
<p>Der November scheint der Monat des Peter Prautzschs zu sein. Nachdem er bereits vor einem Jahr mit „Vor der Stadt&#8221; kurz vor Jahresende ein feines und durchaus herbstliches Album ablieferte, wird in diesem Spätherbst das Debüt-Album seines Pseudonyms Palacs veröffentlicht. Passend zu der sich immer mehr ausbreitenden Dunkelheit, kommt die neueste Veröffentlichung „Ghosts&#8221; auch sehr gespensterhaft und unheimlich daher. Das Album hat allerdings wenig zu tun mit Disney-Land-Geisterbahnen oder Horrorfilmen aus Hollywood. Vielmehr wohnt den Tracks von „Ghosts&#8221; immer auch eine gewisse Melancholie und manchmal sogar eine Prise Romantik inne. Es wird also nicht die Geschichte von mordenden Zombies erzählt, sondern ganz im Stile von viktorianischen Geistergeschichten ein wohliges Gruseln erzeugt, bei dem die Tragik der verblichenen Spukgestalten nie vergessen wird &#8211; ein bisschen wie „The Crow&#8221; ohne Gewalt.</p>
<p>Wie flüchtige Geister verschwinden die wenig regelmässigen und verspielten Rhythmen immer wieder unerwartet, tauchen dann wieder aus dem Nichts auf oder werden plötzlich in ihrer Lautstärke intensiviert. Auch die eingespielten Samples und die Soundscapes werden mehrfach ohne Vorwarnung abgebrochen, dem Mobiliar eines Geisterhauses gleich, das wie von Geisterhand plötzlich verschwindet. Verstärkt wird die unheimliche Atmosphäre durch Streicher aller Art und gelegentlich einsetzendem Banshee-Klagegesang. Die im zweiten Abschnitt erwähnte Romantik, kann im ersten Track mit dem Namen „Arianne and Francois&#8221; entdeckt werden, wo neben glichiger Elektronik auch immer wieder warme Soundstrukturen eingespielt werden. Darauf folgt „Golpa Nord&#8221;, welcher einen Verknüpfung zu „Vor der Stadt&#8221; schafft, indem er auf den darauf enthaltenen Track „Golpa Sued&#8221; verweist. Hat out-of-space.ch „Golpa Sued&#8221; noch als zu lang geraten empfunden, macht Prautzsch bei „Golpa Nord&#8221; alles richtig: Einige nur kurz angespielte Samples, unter anderem ein schweres Schnaufen und eine Sirene, sowie der kaum voraussehbare Verlauf der Beats, lassen „Golpa Sued&#8221; zu dem unheimlichsten Titel des Albums werden.</p>
<p>Dunkel beginnt Track 4. Allerdings wird die Dunkelheit bald von melancholischen bis süsslichen Streichern und Gesangs-Samples aufgehellt und es entsteht eine dichte, beinahe pastorale Stimmung. Fast ein wenig wie Jóhann Jóhannssons „The Great God Pan Is Dead&#8221;. Den ergreifendsten Track spart sich Palac aber für den Schluss aus. An barocke Kammermusik mit Streichinstrumenten erinnert das das Album beschliessende „Shift&#8221;. Wer Colleens „Les Ondes Silencieuses&#8221; mag und an Murcofs „Versailles Sessions&#8221; Gefallen findet, wird sich wohl auch für diesen Titel begeistern können. Im Gegensatz zu der im Sommer veröffentlichten „Clairvaux EP&#8221; funktioniert „Ghosts&#8221; auch als Album und nicht nur als lose Songsammlung. Die spukhafte Stimmung wird mit zahllosen Details unterstützt und durch die immer vorhandenen Emotionen entsteht eine Tiefe, die zu berühren vermag. Die alles andere als natürlich klingenden Elektronik-Effekte und die orchestralen Elementen harmonieren dabei bestens. Da Prautzsch unter dem Pseudonym Palac fast immer Beats einsetzt, ist „Ghosts&#8221; zudem zugänglicher als „Vor der Stadt&#8221;.</p>

<p>After several cooperations with international labels and netprojects, Palac now delivers a selection of four quiet tracks from the past years, re-edited at Clairvaux, Sydney Australia in spring 2008. The new EP gathers four electronic compositions build around environmental recordings, detailed microsounds, a glimpse of techno and large unfolding string patterns. The opening track &#8216;The Ocean at Coney Island&#8217; (recorded on location in New York 2004) starts with subtle atmosphere made from found sounds and dusty rhythm merging with soft orchestral bliss moving in and out. The second track &#8216;Rafael Soto&#8217; creates an 8min epic loop starting off with simple, minimal structures and silent breaks to eventually overflow with heavy cinematic layers of sound and waves of strings. &#8216;Tesa Music&#8217; follows with compressed piano textures, dropping off along the sparkling track just to rewind and restart all crushed and slightly out of place. The closing track &#8216;Kind Things Sing&#8217; picks things up with a soft drive of rhythms and ends the EP with simple melodies and gentle ambient glow.</p>

<p><strong>Review by Wyatt Williams, XLR8R Magazine Feature, June 2008</strong></p>
<p>Journalists and critics love to pontificate about New Media and the phenomenon of &#8216;edia convergence&#8217; and more often than not the discussions devolve in semantic arguments or grandiose visions of a future that never quite seems to be now. Well, beneath the chattering of people who love to hear themselves speak are the sounds of people who are pushing the limits of digital technology and making that grandiose future exist right now. Take digital-renaissance-man Peter Prautzsch as a shining example; the music he makes as Palac nary enters in the material world. From his field recording sources and electronic compositions to WAV/MP3 only releases, his Palac tracks float instantly from person to person without ever touching anyone&#8217;s hands. Take a quick look around his website and you&#8217;ll find his video and design work, as well a link to Frozen Elephants, the &#8216;Creative Commons Netlabel&#8217; he co-runs to release electronic music for free. Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t matter that much if his oeuvre weren&#8217;t so deeply in tune with a warm, material world that the work itself never exists in.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Christopher √áolak, Half Stereo, November 2008</strong></p>
<p>Clairvaux EP presents twenty-five minutes of sonically rich ambient settings by Berlin-based Peter Prautzsch under the Palac name (the release&#8217;s four electronic pieces were re-edited at Clairvaux, Sydney Australia, hence the title). Constructed from string samples, field recordings, found sounds, and minimal beat patterns, Palac&#8217;s meditations are largely static in nature, with the focus as much if not more on dense sonic layering than horizontal development. Setting the tone at the outset, &#8216;The Ocean at Coney Island &#8216; merges field elements (heavy breathing, voices, water sounds) with the melancholic cascade of orchestral strings and hypnotic rhythmic flow. The eight-minute &#8216;Rafael Soto&#8217; begins in minimal mode with the whirr and click of an understated funk pattern but then slowly blossoms into a wide-screen blend of beats and surging string counterpoint. In a change of pace, &#8216;Tesa Music&#8217; serves up an ambient meditation of processed piano sounds that Prautzsch splinters into jittery, tinkly fragments, creating an almost gamelan-like effect in the process. The EP picks up for its closer &#8216;Kind Things Sing&#8217; by pairing granular ripples and flickering tones with lurching rhythm patterns that hiccup, stumble, and surge by turn. In sum, the territory may not be unfamiliar but Prautzsch brings a carefully-considered artfulness to these compositions.</p>
<p>A very strong atmosphere, which you can only find on really worked on projects and pieces. I never say it is easy to listen and understand this kind of music. But in the end you do not need any intellectual level, to be aware or to understand and perceive this kind of music. This is it. This is something dark but friendly. Like a part of your body. Striking slowly and recapturing your mentality. &#8216;Eleanor &#038; Barbara&#8217; is one of the best tracks that &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; album carry. Also &#8216;Golpa North&#8217; also states that Palac also has problems with the grey Berlin winters. All of the 8 tracks in the album are very well organized and established. Dozage of sound and scape is in perfect balance. No more or less. Less is more? More is less? Or anyone who passes Palac&#8217;s music is rather careless. You choose.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Textura Magazine, August 2008</strong></p>
<p>Hailing from Berlin, Palac, the solo venture of composer Peter Prautzsch, straddles the great digital divide of modern music, with one foot firmly planted in the micro-bleeps of laptop arrangements and the other dipping a toe in the vague atmospherics of cinematic instrumentals. If you mashed up Salvo Beta with Eluvium, you&#8217;d get something at least in the same ballpark as Palac. (And yes, Prautzsch is aware of the Will Oldham-related project of a very similar name, I asked). Ghosts starts off steady, the frigid synthetic cadence of &#8216;On Arianne and Francois&#8217; gently rocked by the soft bellowing of distortion and a few hints at something more sinister crying from the unseen depths. The track is rather primitive and unambitious, and if it weren\&#8217;t for the infectiousness of the choppy digital beat the whole assemblage might fall apart. Essentially an exercise in minimalism, most of Ghosts suffers from a similar uncertainty.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Andreas Stoll, Out of Space, July 2008</strong></p>
<p>&#8216;Are you recording the sound of the ocean?&#8217; Mit dieser Frage beginnt die neueste EP von Peter Prautzsch. Mit einem field recording also über die konkret vorliegende Feldaufnahme. Damit scheint der Deutsche nahtlos an seine letzte Scheibe &#8216;Vor der Stadt&#8217; anzuknüpfen, welche Feldaufnahmen, aufgenommen rund um die Stadt Gräfenhainichen, mit Streichern und Gitarren anreicherte und so eine ruhige, wenn auch sehr dichte Atmosphäre erzeugen konnte. Schon bald setzt aber die Perkussion ein und der zweite Track ist schon beinahe tanzbar, sodass sich &#8216;Clairvaux&#8217; doch deutlich vom gemächlichen Vorgänger unterscheidet. Diese Unterschiede werden formal dadurch unterstrichen, dass die &#8216;Clairvaux&#8217; unter dem Pseudonym Palac veröffentlicht wurde, welches für zum Club hin tendierende Musik steht, während der Vorgänger noch unter des Künstlers richtigem Namen erschien.</p>
<p>Die EP enthält vier bereits zu früheren Zeitpunkten erzeugte Tracks, welche in Clairvaux (Sydney) überarbeitet wurden. Zum Kreuzzugsprediger Bernhard von Clairvaux scheint kein Zusammenhang zu bestehen. Zumindest wäre eine kriegerische Auseinandersetzung etwas vom letzten, was dem Hörer bei dieser ruhigen Veröffentlichung in den Sinn kommt. Trotz der Unterschiede zum letzten Album kommt nämlich auch bei dieser Scheibe nie allzu viel Hektik auf. Beinahe schon wie eine Entspannungs-CD beginnt &#8216;Clairvaux&#8217;. Schweres Schnaufen und Wellen bestimmen das Klangbild und langsam beginnt ein ruhiges Orchester zu spielen. Nur ab und zu eingespielte Vocalsamples verhindern das Loslösen von der Zivilisation. Geschickt setzt nach etwa drei Minuten ein Beat ein. Durch dessen geringe BPM-Zahl wird aber die beinahe meditative Stimmung noch weiter unterstützt. Mit seiner schlichten Schönheit stellt der Opener &#8216;The Ocean at Coney Island&#8217;, welcher auf Feldaufnahmen, die 2004 in New York gemacht wurden, basiert, für mich den Höhepunkt dieser Sammlung dar. Für mich hat sich dieser Track durch seine Hintergrundtauglichkeit und trotzdem vorhandenen Abwechslung zu einem derjenigen Musikstücken etabliert, welche mich bei geistiger Arbeit musikalisch unterstützen sollen.</p>
<p>Der zweite Track bewegt sich weg von Feldaufnahmen und baut um einen anfänglich recht unscheinbaren Loop eine immer dichter werdende Intensität auf. Er verbindet dabei elektronisches Gefrickel und Streicher-Passagen. Der sich ständig verändernde Track ist nach dem venezolanischer Künstler Rafael Soto benannt, soll aber nach Prautzsch nur einen indirekten Bezug zu dessen Werk haben. Der dritte Track, &#8216;Tesa Music&#8217; mit Namen, arbeitet mit komprimierten Piano-Passagen, welche vor- und rückwärts gespielt werden und so die Illusion eines Windspieles erzeugen. Vor allem beim ersten Hördurchgang ist dies sehr reizvoll, ein Reiz, der bei mehreren Durchgängen aber etwas verloren geht. Abgeschlossen wir die EP mit dem gelungenen &#8216;Kind Things Sing&#8217;, welches von leichten, aber komplexen Rhythmen bestimmt wird. Langsam klingt dieser Track die Scheibe aus &#8211; viel zu schnell. Im Gegensatz zu &#8216;Vor der Stadt&#8217; erscheint &#8216;Clairvaux&#8217; nie als eine Einheit, sondern immer nur als eine Sammlung von vier teilweise recht unterschiedlichen Tracks. Da diese aber mehrheitlich sehr zu gefallen wissen, vermag sie die Vorfreude auf das im Spätsommer erscheinende Album &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; zu schüren. Wer eine Abwechslung zu der momentan vorherrschenden auf Mittanzen getrimmten Festivalmusik sucht, wird bei Palac mit dieser feinen, aber aufgrund der gewählten Samples und Feldaufnahmen durchaus sommerlichen Platte fündig.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Guillermo Escudero, Loop Mag, July 2008</strong></p>
<p>We know the music of Berlin based audio-visual and graphic-designer Peter Prautzsch through his second released &#8216;Vor der Stadt EP&#8217; (PalacMusic, 2007), under his own name. Now under the moniker of Palac (also as a DJ) Palacmusic just released the &#8216;Clairvaux EP&#8217; that consists in four tracks and in September is coming his first album &#8216;Ghosts&#8217; on the same label. The opening track &#8216;The Ocean at Coney Island&#8217; consist in a field recording of the sound of the sea, alongwith a string section that moves slowly creating a suggestive atmosphere. &#8216;Rafael Soto&#8217; isn&#8217;t fluently since is accompanied by breaking rhythms in the vein of click &#038; cuts that are wrapped by orchestral lines a bit obscure and creating a gorgeous epic. &#8216;Tesa Music&#8217; is a soft half-melody interrupted by skips with voices in the background. It&#8217;s very na√Øve the music in the likes of lullababy melodies. ‚&#8217;Kind Things Sing&#8217; that closes the EP continues to unfold beautiful melodies and cut &#038; paste beats and crackle sounds.</p>

<p>Generally beautiful and calm 6-track album with quiet and intimate atmosphere settling among sedative tides of lo-fi drones, warm non-digital fieldrecordings from out on the country and looped soundpieces of guitar and strings. Most recordings where done in the wide open country side around Graefenhainichen, a small town in Mid-Germany. <em>Vor der Stadt </em>was nominated for the 2009 Qwartz Electronic Music Award in Paris.</p>

<p><strong>Review by Jos Smolders, Earlabs.org, December 2007</strong></p>
<p>This release presents six structurally equal compositions. There&#8217;s a straightforward building up of the sound field with a few elements. The protagonist is all cases a cello, or a section of a classical orchestra. He/she is wrapped in and streamlined through reverberation and delay so what we hear superficially is the timbre of the instrument(s). By repeating this central sound and layering it somewhat the central theme is set. Then the theme is accompanied by all kinds of characters that are mixed in and out of the scenery. Mostly it concerns recorded material (fieldrecordings is the popular term nowadays) that vary between macor recordings of certain environments to micro&#8217;s of small objects that makes small noises.</p>
<p>In general the sound scenery is quite full. Prautzsch likes mass choreography. That may sound a bit negative but I actually don&#8217;t mean to do that. I have heard many instances where this set up has gone horribly wrong but Prautzsch builds his composition and his sound field quite well. It made me think of the very early releases of Eno&#8217;s discreet music (the importance of this man&#8217;s work remains invaluable to this day), but at a slightly higher volume and with a compressor in the master mix. Also the six compositions together make a very good set. Every one stands out from the others, which again is strange considering the fact that the basic structure of the compositions and the approach of what is added into the mix is quite similar. The compositions total 39 minutes and a few seconds. I think that&#8217;s quite a nice length. It also indicates that Prautzsch knows when his point is made. Let&#8217;s see what corner he will take in his following compositions.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Laurent, Gummigumi Blog &#038; Tsugi Magazine, April 2008</strong></p>
<p>Il pleut un crachin nostalgique, emprunt d’ambiance et de souvenirs acoustiques. Dans la scintillement des gouttes d’une pluie sombre ; apparaissent des souvenirs de références naviguant dans les catalogues de 12K et Raster-noton. Il a pris le risque.. Celui de la philosophie numérique des boudoirs artistiques où l’on se regarde le nombril en écoutant un sample de violoncelle. Mais Peter évite le piège de l’emphase pour nous plonger dans un mini album construit sur la symbolique de l’eau. L’eau stagnante et silencieuse. L’eau nourrie de nos souvenirs jaunis. L’eau abreuvée des couleurs d’automne, filant comme les ruisseaux de nos virées de jauneaux dans les campagnes de brouillard. Graphiste, cinéaste, musicien, Peter franchit manifestement ici un palier.</p>
<p><strong>Review by Andreas Stoll, Out of Space, December 2007</strong></p>
<p>Adventszeit. Noch bevor er sich in die ueberfuellten Geschäfte stuerzt, um dort Geschenke fuer Familie und Freunde zu besorgen, sucht der Musikfreund all seine Schallplatten, CDs und mp3s hervor und beginnt in diversen Kategorien Best-Of-Listen zu erzeugen. So natuerlich auch der Autor dieser Rezension. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass es zwar im Allgemeinen sehr schwierig ist zu bestimmen, ob nun Album X oder Album Y besser war, was mir aber von Anfang an klar war, ist, dass Murcof mit &#8216;Cosmos&#8217; das beste Album des Jahres abgeliefert hat. Umso erfreuter bin ich, dass ich so kurz vor Jahresende mit &#8216;Vor Der Stadt&#8217; des Berliner Kuenstlers Peter Prautzsch ein Album entdecken darf, das dem Meisterwerk des Mexikaners nicht unähnlich ist.</p>
<p>Zwar begnuegt sich der bescheidene Deutsche ganz im Gegensatz zu Murcof, der sich mit nichts weniger als dem Kosmos auseinander setzt, damit, das Umland des mitteldeutschen Städtchens Gräfenhainichen musikalisch abzubilden, im Ansatz, mit klassischen Orchesterinstrumenten und mit Hilfe der Techniken der modernen elektronischen Musik einen Gegenstand zu vertonen, bestehen aber einige Parallelen. Prautzsch benutzt dazu vor allem Drones (zu deutsch Bordune), das heisst tiefe Dauertoene, und geloopte Gitarren, Violinen und Cellos. Zudem setzt der Berliner, der sich neben der Musik auch mit visueller Kunst beschäftigt, immer wieder Feldaufnahmen ein. So kann der ueber eine Landschaft streichende Wind oder das Knistern eines Feuers im Hintergrund der Songs vernommen werden. Anders als bei Drone-Kuenstlern, die vom Doom Metal her kommen, sind Prautzschs Kompositionen meist ruhig und friedlich und kaum je duester oder gar aggressiv. Viel mehr wirkt die Platte wie ein wohltuend unaufgeregter und sachlicher Naturdokumentarfilm, wobei die Bildkomponente durch intensiven Sound ersetzt wurde und so in das Gehirn des Hoerers verlagert wurde. Dieses Konzept wird auch von den wenig reisserischen Songtiteln, die Namen wie &#8216;Windfang&#8217;oder &#8216;Wald und Feld&#8217; tragen, unterstuetzt. Der erste der sechs Titel, welcher &#8216;Elbwiesen&#8217; heisst, beginnt mit plätscherndem Wasser, was auch schon die Stimmung des gut vierminuetigen Tracks vorgibt: Eine ruhige Wasserlandschaft umgibt den Hoerer.</p>
<p>Mit &#8216;Stadtrand&#8217; folgt der duesterste Song, bei dem ein Cello klar das Klangbild dominiert. Regelmässig eingespieltes Knistern und Rauschen, wehmuetige Melodien und gelegentliche Stoerungen derselben lassen den Hoerer eher an Slums in der Nacht als an reiche Mittelklassehäuschen denken. Hier sind die Gemeinsamkeiten mit dem dunklen &#8216;Cosmos&#8217; wohl am groessten und es kann deshalb nicht erstaunen, dass fuer mich dieser intensive Titel den Hoehepunkt dieser Veroeffentlichung bildet. Allerdings ist auch Track Nummer drei ueberaus hoerenswert. Die Stimmung wird nicht nur von Windaufnahmen erzeugt sondern auch die Lautstärke ändert sich, als ob der Song selbst der Wind wäre, immer wieder und in unregelmässigen Abständen: Boehengleich ploetzlich unverhofft sehr laut werdend und dann wieder verstummend. Im Hintergrund hoert man immer wieder ein Geräusch, das von einer Zugsirene erzeugt sein worden koennte, und dem Titel eine leicht bedrohliche Komponente verleiht. Manchmal erinnert &#8216;Windfang&#8217; gar an die Hintergrundmusik, die Lynch fuer seine &#8216;Rabbits&#8217;-Episoden verwendete.</p>
<p>Mit &#8216;Golpa Sued&#8217; folgt das längste Stueck dieser Zusammenstellung. Mit seinen knapp elf Minuten ist mir dieses aber doch eher zu lang. Obwohl es sicher ueberaus huebsch aufgebaut ist, wird es fuer mich gegen Ende doch ein wenig eintoenig und ermuedend. Umso besser gefällt mir &#8216;Wald und Feld&#8217;, bei dem mit Knistern und Zirpen die Natur erwacht. Genial daran ist, dass Prautzsch hier sehr geschickt Feldaufnahmen mit kuenstlich erzeugten bzw. veränderten Geräuschen mischt und so imitierte Naturgeräusche neben echten stehen. Fuer mich steht dieser Titel deshalb fuer das ganze Album: Bei einem Dokumentarfilm wird das Bild durch kuenstliche Geräusche ersetzt, die neben der natuerlichen Tonspur angeordnet werden. Abgeschlossen wird das Album mit &#8216;Daheim&#8217;, wo wir uns vor das wärmende Kaminfeuer setzten und dem Blasebalgbeat zuhoeren koennen. Irgendwie unterstreicht dies die Biedermeierhaftigkeit der Platte, die die nähere Umgebung des Hauses nie verlässt, diese aber ueberaus faszinierend und mit Blick fuers Detail beschreibt. Hut ab!</p>
