üNN

Elektro has the reputation of sometimes neglecting the emotional impact of music in favour of emphasising mechanical sounds. This, however, is not true for üNN, the main project of the Frankfurt multimedia artist Frank Rückert. Working as VJ for Sven Väth, Pascal FEOS, DJ Hell or Monika Kruse, the computer scientist is an integral part of the international Techno Club scene. After his albums 'Delay' (Elektrolux, 1999), 'Relief' (Elektrolux, 2000), 'Electronic Music' (Mikrolux, 2002, also avaible on DVD) as well as the DVD cooperation 'üNN + osa = strom' produced with students of architecture at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Elektrolux, 2004), he closes the gap between sensual ambient and motor-comprehensible elektro of his previous releases by his new longplayer 'Silence'.
His long-standing work concerning the visual aesthetics of FLOWMOTION once again has resulted in a kind of music highly evoking synthetic but yet organic images between natural romanticism and urban speed - another facet of the outstanding artist. Frank Rückert is telling stories with sounds and is often surprised by himself while working in the studio: 'I love to jam a lot, and out of this unexpected and surprising ideas, the best tracks were produced'. This is the philosophy of his musical work. And by the impressionistic piano ('For The People'), Asia-like music box sounds ('Metamorphic'), with synthie melodies flirting with the early nineties ('Seconds Of Your Time') or densely-woven Liquid-Dub ('Into the Biosphere'), your inner cinema is stimulated in the most pleasant way.
