My latest two releases, the Tomoroh Hidari "Todtnauberg EP" and "...that night she emitted a different kind of silence" done under my his Namelessness Is Legion alias got reviewed in the latest edition of "Vital Weekly"...
read here what they had to say, and don't forget you can download the hNIL release for free, and also prelisten Todtnauberg for free (before you support your favourite weirdö by buying it at it's cheap price):
here goes the review:
TOMOROH HIDARI - TODTNAUBERG (MP3 by Indiestore)
HIS NAMELESSNESS IS LEGION - ...THAT NIGHT SHE EMITTED A DIFFERENT SILENCE (MP3 by Mahorka)
Todtnauberg is a small German village where Heidegger wrote his famous work 'Sein Und Zeit', but that's about the only connection to the release by Tomoroh Hidari, but the ever changing 'excretive winds of King Ubu' are the inspirations. Tomoroh Hidari has released music on labels as Isolate Records, Lee, Mekobira and others - even when I never heard of those three. All other information is kept secret, but I believe one Oliver Stummer is behind this. The four tracks presented here rhythmic and dark. Forceful beats that are hardly to dance along too, because the musical background is dark and creepy. The whole thing is a bit too synthetic and remote for me. Chaos rules in these beats, but I pass.
The same Stummer recorded also as His Namelessness Is Legion a MP3 release called '... That Night She Emitted A Different Silence', which I thought was of much more interest. No rhythm on the foreground, but lots of guitars, treated on the computer. Microsound bumps into ambient and industrial music. Densely layered, at times noise based heaviness, digital clicks and droney. The odd thing is however at the end, with '...And The Quick Kill The Dead', with has vocals (sounding a bit like Edward Ka-spel), and could almost pass on as a popsong. Very nice release. (FdW)

About Me
- OsT
- Coming from a Background of classical music education Oliver Stummer learned the Violon-Cello for 13 and, less classical but more rock and roll, the (electric) guitar for seven years and had training in harmony and songwriting. he turned to computer music production in 1997, and has since then produced various releases, both under his own alias Tomoroh Hidari (and others) and with/for respected artists and newcomers. Oliver Stummer has made music for Advertisments, Theater, Radio and short films and is constantly up for new adventures... While always aiming at perfection, he tries to avoid loosing personal touch and musical innuendo by resorting to technical show-offs. It is rather about trying to take things to extremes, where the moment of personal excitement and surprise is the boundary to constantly push.
