Info:
With their second longplayer ?Meanderlust?, Randweg undertake a trip along melodic fields and rhythmic turns. The songs sound self-willed yet catchy: they are feel-good-music with an experimental core. With unusual instrumentation (clarinet, guitar, bass, cajon, computers) and unique style, Randweg treads a previously untrodden path: "A detailed one, sensitive, gentle and scratchy, one that you would like to go more often now." (De: Bug). The duo breaks with any expectations one could have given the instruments collected here, and the clarinet playing "has nothing to do with the usual clichés one may associate with this in itself innocent and lovable instrument. On the contrary, it?s sounds remind us a lot more of our well-loved vintage analog synthesizers. "(Groove)
Andreas Ernst plays the clarinet since he was 12 years old. The way he puts his instrument to use is exceptional: the clarinet serves more as a natural oscillator, whose vibrations are alienated with effects and transferred to a different world of sound. A woodwind instrument as a controller for soundtransducers, filters and delay. Andreas distinctive playing style can also be found in tracks by Ripperton, Ellen Allien and Der Dritte Raum.
David Baurmann forms the musical counterpart on bass and guitar and enriches Randwegs electronic beats with cajon. Firmly anchored in Aachen's electronic music scene as a DJ, here he is a multi-instrumentalist, to whom the duo owes their peculiar band-like sound. It's a stroke of luck the two met 2007 in Berlin. Together they are Randweg.

The reimplementation of the pieces on their debut album Equisetales (2013) aroused Andi and Davids appetite to perform live. With its four instruments, the duo not only revamped the sound of the first album, in this very interaction the duo also laid the foundation from which they would henceforth meander further into musical territory. Soon they played their ever-growing repertoire in clubs and at festivals. Publications on Dock Records and Nachtdigital followed. It was in this period the ten songs for their second album Meanderlust were written. On their actual release, Andi and David succeed seemingly effortless and clearly more accenuated to wander across genre boundaries. Folk-ish melodies, jazzy playfulness and clubby electronics, sometimes even with an open sympathy for epic rock: Randweg break with any expectations one could have given the instruments collected here, and take the listener away to a musically impressive and cineastic landscape.

Funken presents berlin based solo clarinet-player and performer Andreas Ernst aka RANDWEG along with the first album EQUISETALES.
RANDWEG portrays the theme of a journey that moves (and represents a thread between) while sketching the tiny little things beside the pathway. Following Andreas Ernst's debuts tracks and cooperations with Ellen Allien on Sool, Der Dritte Raum's SWING BOP and his live appearances with the electronic act Der Dritte Raum, he presents us nine tracks on EQUISETALES with a Krautrock and Jazz affair - coupled with ethereal sonic environments, and a surprising variety of sounds that come from his clarinet. It could be said that EQUISETALES is carefully sequenced to a narrative structure: beginning with ‚ARMY OF ANTS' a 5/4 time signature track that almost visualises the vitality of formicary and then ending in the mellow wilderness of ‚YOFA.' RANDWEG utilizes little, electronic instruments. Clarinet and the natural resonances of organic materials (usually by way of the clarinet-play or home-made contraption) become his main instruments, and as his live shows often attest to, Andreas Ernst can turn almost the full audience into a woodwind capable of producing beautiful music.
