noorden main operator alex ketzer returns with his second studio album

two late-night-to-early-morning bangers between experimental techno and krauty trance. dedicated to beautiful raum zwei, köln-deutz, 2010–2014. 7-inch, 200 copies in pvc sleeve w/ five different artworks on thick transparent paper, mastered by manes @ salz, cologne

this is a tape! all good stories need a context. named after the multitalented artist who used to operate at the bauhaus in dessau, »marianne brandt« is the omnidirectional long length debut of alex ketzer, the respected designer behind noorden’s artworks as well as a talented musician on the rise. ketzer recorded in a room at the dessau structure for a few days, meticulously crafting a piece that sounds like a conversation between history and future, audio and visual, bridging the gap over a century of creation in one of the epicentres of the highest form of artistic production in europe. and now inviting electronic music to its table.
