A threatening new collaboration which is a foray into noise/computer music and black metal. KTL is Peter Rehberg (PITA, of Mego) and Stephen O'Malley (SUNNO))), Khanate), and this work came about as the two were composing sound and music for a theatre piece by Gisèle Vienne and Dennis Cooper, entitled 'Kindertotenlieder', Songs on the Death of Children (the title is taken from the original song cycle for voice and orchestra by Gustav Mhaler, where the words of the songs are poems by Friedrich Rückert). Some pieces were recorded in a resistance fortress in southern France during a thunderstorm, whilst others in a wintergarden drenched in sunlight. The resulting CD is, as O'Malley prefers to say, a Digital Analogue Black Metal (DABM) sonic contrast of dark and light.
