Juni 2010 - INSOMNIA, the 5. album from Superterz:

The double album “Insomnia” emerged from countless studio sessions between 2007 and 2010.
Created were gigabites of sounds and grooves, which were condensed in these two CDs. Multiple
sequencers interlock, counterbeats arise without measure, tones of irritating familiarity. The
conscious distancing from pre-established ways, the creation of musical antimatter, can be
experienced on “Insomnia” like on no other of the 5 former CDs by Superterz.

The sensualization of bits and bites

Surprising, unfamiliar and iridescent they are, these crystallizations of huge halls, ceiling-less
churches, labyrinthine corridors, wide plains, ragged chasms and infinite heights and they keep
spitting us out like Alice from Wonderland. Rhythms seem to be standing outside of time and yet
grooves form that go straight to the guts. One imagines oneself to be inside a machine. Seemingly
familiar sounds of guitars, drums, synthesizers and electronics, voices and a trombone, like woven
into a veil dance, ensnare but never lull. “Insomnia” is a poetical work in which bits and bites mount
up to sensual realities and every second constitutes a new discovery.

Between the concerts

“Insomnia” is not a compilation of songs that you can hear again in concert. They are journals,
instantaneous recordings in cosmic noise that will never return but which are resumed. Each
concert is a new beginning on the basis of what faded out last time. This unique musical language
of Superterz develops from a purposeful meandering without a direction being given. The
references are a few tracks, this groove that we all know from the cellars and canteens of the
Techno movement and this claim never to do the same thing twice but to move ahead without
determining a direction like the expansion of cosmic energy after the big bang.

„Goodnight Nobody“
Inspiriert ist „Insomnia“ auch durch das Portrait auf dem Cover. Es zeigt einen Insomniac aus der Ukraine, der 12 Jahre lang nicht geschlafen hat. Ein medizinisches Wunder in der Trance zwischen den Welten, welches im Film „Goodnight Nobody“ (DOCMINE 2009, Jacqueline Zünd) portraitiert wird. Die Musik zum Film schrieb Marcel Vaid.
