    What does denoised noise sound like? Richard Eigner's album 'Denoising Field Recordings' does just that - remove the noise from recordings of train stations, church bells, and public spaces, until only abstractions of the original sounds remain.

    It is an approach which stands for Eigner's open-minded inventiveness, something that has made the young Linz-based producer one of the most interesting artists in Austria's music scene. The trained session drummer has already worked with artists like Patrick Wolf, Patrick Pulsinger, and Flying Lotus on his 'Cosmogramma' album, and entertains a number of his own projects just as diverse.

    Besides running the Wald Entertainment label, Eigner is part of Ritornell, a two-piece electro-acoustic jazz band comprised of him and pianist Roman Gerold, which debuted with the album 'Golden Solitude' via Berlin's Karaoke Kalk imprint last year. The duo's fusion of glitch electronica and film noir jazz vibes has been met with wide-spread acclaim, and work on a second album will commence in September.

    Currently Eigner is busy setting up the sound art exhibition 'Expedition Sonar' together with Karin Fisslthaler (fellow Austrian musician Cherry Sunkist), which will open in Linz's Lentos Museum this Friday, August 27.

    For this week's podcast Richard Eigner supplies a moody trip through the sonic world of Ritornell. The mix starts out with Matthew Dear's 'Honey', off his brand-new 'Black City' album, gliding through pieces by Pantha Du Prince, Alva Noto, Vladislav Delay, ISAN, Lali Puna, and Ø. Exquisite ambient electronica for endless summer evenings.

    Release date: Aug 25, 2010
