Sven Laux – Unfound Sketches

Berlin’s Sven Laux has done anything but conform. His unique take on music making has him sharing the company of artisans like Pheek, Ezekiel Honig and Marc Neyen. In a discography that stretches as far back as 2006, there remains a prevalent underlying passion for the obscure.

Though we’ve yet to see micro production really take off, this doesn’t seem to discourage a throng of talented visionaries dedicated to the clicks and cuts craft. Sven, coming off a full length debut on Microcosm that had writers buzzing, has been staying the course with releases on 31337, Villar Village and his latest for Unfoundsound Records.

Unfound Sketches has to be Laux’s most fluid work to date. Six sedative compositions each perform their part beautifully. Drifting drones seemingly glide over patchy beats riddled with familiar blips and clacks leaving the listener in a calmative trance. Plenty of chopped-up foundsounds keep things feeling organic throughout. Wonderful stuff from a pioneer in his field.
