Hazy, analog synth explorations that feel like a lost 1970s science documentary. Warm tape saturation and forest-floor psychedelia for deep focus.
Listening to CV Vision feels like discovering a box of unreleased master tapes in the basement of a defunct West German television studio. The music is thick with the smell of ozone and magnetic tape, blending the motorik precision of krautrock with the whimsical, utilitarian charm of vintage library music. It is a world where modular synths mimic the sounds of birds and wind, and electric guitars are filtered through so many analog pedals they begin to sound like woodwinds.
What sets Dennis Schulze apart is his commitment to the physical grain of sound. This isn't just a retro exercise; it's a tactile experience where every hiss, pop, and flutter of the tape is part of the composition. The rhythms are steady and hypnotic, providing a sturdy backbone for melodic lines that drift like smoke through a dense forest. It manages to be both highly technical and deeply organic, capturing the 'vision' of a future that people in 1974 might have imagined.
Start with 'In Time' to hear the project at its most cohesive and expansive. It serves as the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the kosmische musik of the 70s but wants something that feels vital and contemporary. It's music for the head and the heart, best enjoyed when you have the time to let the atmosphere fully saturate the room.
