Ohne Titel, 1916 is an emotional collection of fragile melodic patterns, played out on basic piano and keyboard with some very slight electronic treatment, there’s a real feeling of honest depth and great sorrow. Written after the death of his day old daughter Fanny, it puts across the feeling of emotional numbness and learning to coping with the passing of a loved one. It’s certainly not all morbid or sorrowful, the tracks often capture fondness and wonder of life it’s self and of the need and effort to move on. I can’t quite put my finger on how he’s done it, but Flim really seems to have weaved so much depth and power of emotion into each of these delicate sounds works. —Roger Batty
Package design of audio compact disc for the German artist Enrico Wuttke. The title of the album, Ohne Titel 1916, has been borrowed from a work by Paul Klee, from a series of about 50 hand puppets the artist created for his little son Felix between 1916 and 1925. Only one puppet was made during 1916, the one representin Mr. Death to which the title refers. The design on the cover of the album shows the hand inside the puppet.
