about

“…composed an album of surprising stillness and beauty, both powerful and subtle and clearly the product of his self imposed exile….truly an amazing work of electro acoustic beauty.”
FRAGMENTED FREQUENCIES

“……a spectacular recording.”
RRR

“….almost like you’re listening to the process of creation.”
RAVE

“Amazingly some guy who spent three months in an isolated log cabin writing a record actually brought out something that isn’t shit.”
COLLAPSE BOARD

“….was reminded of Pascal Comelade, but less plink-plonk on the piano, or Flim. Rather intimate music, moody but not depressing/depressed sounding….”
VITAL WEEKLY

“….a lingering, timeless musical experience…”
BEAT

“…..mystery is part of what makes the album so compelling – not just the beauty and complexity of the sounds or the ideas and story that your mind cannot help create, but a combination of all these elements, and so much more that is impossible to try and put into words.”
TIME OFF

“….the musical palette and the mood keep changing, subtly but compellingly.”
ZZZ

“With “Ascent (Vollmond II)” Riegler has made one of the single most life affirming tracks of the year. It’s patient and warm yet frigid enough to remind you that without the cold you wouldn’t understand what warmth truly felt like.”
PORTALS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Made in early 2011, Heinz Riegler's Survey #2 (One Thousand Dreams I Never Had) is a collection of audio sketches recorded exclusively during three months spent in a wood cabin high up in the Austrian Alps.

A mostly instrumental Audio Postcard, it attempts to transcribe (amongst other things) sensations of isolation, extreme freedom and solitude. Manifested in tonal experiments and simple movements of minimal chord progressions, it features guitar drones interpreting cloud patterns, meditations on the full moon's light hitting the frozen surfaces – as well as randomly fragmented expressions of sound.

All of it wrapped and illuminated by the duo-tone of deep alpine winter, Survey #2 (One Thousand Dreams I Never Had) contains thirteen pieces of music, intertwined to make a thirty-one minute edition of audio.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
