--> If there is one man who totally commits himself to listen to music besides composing it, it would be Kreng. Kreng’s studio walls are transformed to musical libraries. A chronologically kept archive stacked with amazing rarities of the finest vinyl and CD releases.

Ninety percent of Krengs time is spent listening to music. Hence the massive amount of sound sources available to him this is time well spent. Being a musician myself I could not imagine spending much more time listening to music in contrast to producing music. I was even more amazed when I found out Kreng has a huge collection of Kreng tracks nobody knows about. Maybe listening to music gives you so much insight into music the process of making music becomes so natural your production rate rises?

Kreng is a very important source of input here at fant00m. We are really pleased to announce a DJ mix of Kreng which he made for Fant00m. Like a librarian who knows every passage of every book Kreng mixes a selection of his archive of vinyl and CD with out any sequencing or edits.

The DJ-set was played by Kreng using only unaccompanied solos on single instruments by some of the world’s best improvising musicians. The combination of free jazz & modern classical creates a tense hybrid. None of these musicians have actually been in the same room. The combination of these very individual statements creates a new world in sound.
