Marc Masters, Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp:
To make Der Hafen, Chemiefaserwerk (aka Christian Schiefner) and Tim Olive created sounds on their own, then handed them to each other to edit and mix. The result: two 15-minute tracks that are significantly different, both in sound and arrangement. “Der Hafen 1,” in which Olive works with Schiefner’s material, is dark and reverberant, as if recorded underground with no other human beings around. Schiefner’s prepared tapes and mixer feedback give Olive rich tones with which to paint eerie portraits. On “Der Hafen 2,” Olive mines more tangible sources—including magnetic pickups and tuning forks—which spurs Schiefner to create a palette of clanging noise, as varied as it is confrontational. It would be fascinating to hear this pair continue this semi-blind conversation, but Der Hafen offers enough to get lost in for a while.
