Luminous Dash on Aura Trans

For Aura Trans, Andreas Lutz first dove into a wide selection of voice samples from various linguistic regions, then turned to a spectrograph. (…) The impressive closing track trans2, finally, seems to bundle all the influences on the record, as if Lutz’s artscore ambient truly finds liberation here.

Chain D.L.K. on Aura Trans

In Aura Trans, Andreas Lutz doesn’t just play with language - he lovingly dissects it, feeds it through an algorithmic blender, and serves it back as a shimmering, glitchy soufflé. (…) For those curious about the boundaries of sound, language, and perception, this is an engrossing, oddly beautiful collection.

Vital Weekly on Aura Trans

Aura Trans has that retro-futurist shine of granular synthesis and time-stretching, the digital residue of ambient music; it’s never all too warm yet most pleasant to hear. It is not too mellow, as there are moments of mild distortion, and there is quite a bit of variation in these pieces.

Interview with Glissando Magazine

His works refer to alternative human machine interaction and the approach to create integrated and universal communication systems. (…) The creation of experimental soundscapes and the relation of semiotics and sound are further aspects of his work. Meet Andreas Lutz.

Soundrive on Abstract Language Model

Abstract Language Model is a devastatingly beautiful and subtle album, and the idea behind it makes it a timeless work. (…) The beauty of the album lies precisely between what is known and what is unfamiliar.

Glissando on Abstract Language Model (Live)

The subjectivity of non-human entities plays an important role in Lutz’s work, as do considerations of the future of communication. (…) There was something captivatingly beautiful about this sonic world conjured by means of science and magic precisely at the intersection of the existing and the potential.

Musique Machine on Abstract Language Model

What remains palpable among the metallic drone of machine intelligence is the rise and fall of degrees of emphasis, the structural sine qua non of any system of utterances. One thing has to be louder than another, mark space or distance between what is spoken and what is said. (…) Highly recommended!

Vital Weekly on Abstract Language Model

Massive, machine-like drones burst away, but never resulting in mind-dumbing noise music. (…) It is a constant trajectory, moving and changing, with some delicate urgency. Music that goes right into the neural system, drilling holes in your brain. (…) Excellent release!

Silence And Sound on Abstract Language Model

Andreas Lutz compose un album dont la froideur première se révèle être son contraire, chassé-croisé de sensations opposées et de vertige implosif, plongée immersive dans la noirceur de la nuit à l’immensité tourbillonnante.

Vital Weekly on Dyad

This is some very extreme music. (…) It all sounded akin to the works of Pan Sonic, especially when it came to using short repeated segments (i.e. loops and rhythms), Ikeda (the high versus low end) and Alva Noto (a combination of long-form sine wave sounds and rhythms).

Vital Weekly on Form

What I particularly liked about this that there are four pieces which can be seen as originals and then from each of these four, mHz created a remix of some sort, reshaping some of the elements, making it quite a different song altogether, and yet recognizable when compared to the original.

Toneshift on Form

This is drone by frequency, bound by a sort of quasi, quantum mathematic scheme and its voluminous residual brightness. (…) The minimalism of mHz is striking and coded, slightly animated in terms of production style that comes off like hard-edged collage here and there.

GROOVE Magazin on Construct

Bei minim stehen die Zwischenräume im Fokus, und eben nicht mehr die klanglich-kompositorischen Inhalte, die diese Zwischenräume definieren. Purer und klarer kann elektronische Musik nicht werden – und konkreter auch kaum.

Rumore Magazine on Construct

Per l´etichetta tedesca Kasuga la musicista rumena minim (Diana Dulgheru) pubblica un album di elementari pulsazioni glitch reiterate, che acquistano complessitá nel loro svilupparsi in concomitanza con bordoni elettronici elementari.

Sodapop on Construct

Il senso della composizione e del dettaglio rende in realtà l’ascolto piacevole, tanto da farti sprofondare in un loop percettivo e mentale che trascende e completa lo sviluppo espressivo dei pochissimi elementi.

Chain D.L.K. on Construct

It’s rare to hear a release that’s quite so bold with its stripped back approach, but there’s an elegance to it that’s hard to dispute. A release best suited to listening in a very isolated sonic environment, as it’s only there that the atmosphere here reaches its full immersive potential.
