PETER MERGENER Water. An ungovernable element. What do you see in your mind, what do you feel thinking about it? Maybe you dream twinkling of phantasmal spheres and penetrative dribbling in a cosmic silence and solitude. And maybe an unknown planet appears in front of you, veiled by a blanket of the heavy shaggy clouds, through which the weak rays of green-gray light are hardly coming. And unbounded water underneath, it softly plashes its waves, you cannot find there even a bit of firm land. Or free flight of your fantasy gives birth to an image of tropical coast, where Infinite Ocean whispers softly by its backwater the cryptic words. And you can see two lovers, whose bodies are locked together on the sandy beach you can see tiny drops of water, blinking in the bright sunlight on their bronzed bodies. Or maybe you see a silent town and feel flumping of rain, pattering to the window in the dark of Cimmerian autumn night... The element of water. Various and unknown, dangling and at the same time scaring by its unpredictability. The famous instrumentalist Peter Mergener, whose name is listed forever among the most glorious names of electronic music, participant of the legendary project Software, investigates this element in his album " Wet Places" . Water appears to be very different: sometimes soft and erotically tender as in the composition " Foam" , sometimes hard and aggressively noisy as in " Wet Places" , sometimes majestically grand as in the composition " Oceanic Sundown" , sometimes penetrative and romantic as in " Cloudburst" . Supreme professionalism of performing and exactness of expression characterize the album " Wet Places" . It is a very emotional and melodically perfect project. It is listened at one breath. Peter Mergener creates an intrigue and doesn't let you go till the last accords of the composition " Foam" , concluding this experimental project. " Wet Places" is, without any doubt, a good present for all the amateurs of electronic music because there is no theatrical significance and dying. Peter Mergener has created a very naturally sounding and vivid music.
In the foam drops of rain,
