Kinothek Percussion Ensemble consist of Californian composer, musician & performer DNA Hoover. Using percussion instruments as well as found objects, his main “instrument” is a multitrack studio where he puts together what will later form his albums: musical pieces, arranged by dramatic mood and style, dealing with thematic film music. The original principle of Kinothek was developped in 1919 by Italian composer Giuseppe Becce who published “Kinobibliothek”, a catalogue of film scores from which theatre music directors could choose appropriate pieces to accompany the films (which then didn’t have soundtracks) that were shown at that time. “Kinobibliothek” was the most succesful among other catalogues and soon became the industry standard; later, they all were referred to as “Kinothek”. DNA Hoover not only adopted the name “Kinothek”, but also works in a familiar way like Becce - instead of written compositions, he published records containing music for films - real ones or for the “cinema in the head”. On “Industry !”, Hoover has enlargened his musical “bibliothek” with lots of “found” sounds from mechanical sources; these sounds form a system of interactive “templates”, creating a shifting wash of polyrhythms, based on 55,110,165 and 220 beats per minute. Listening to the record may be like a walk through an imaginary factory; not harsh noise, but subtile, repetitive and dense soundscape of mechanical contraptions, more familiar to ambient sounds than to the clumsiness of the socalled Industrial scene. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Kinothek+Percussion+Ensemble">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
