Mo Rooneh is composer of contemporary minimal music.
Basic elements in his work are repetition and noise.
The phylosophy behind the use of those elements in a composition, which in itself is mostly fictional, is to reinstate a sence of reality. Repetition as a refural to time and noise as the reflection of incoherence and disturbance that characterizes our daily life. Starting out, some twenty-five years ago, as a singer in several bands, Rooneh explored the popular music spectrum. After a small decade he concluded the pop scene didn't bring that much fulfillment, music wise, as he had hoped for. Taking a break from performing for almost fifteen years, he explored numerous art disciplines. Several musical and non-musical styles inspired Rooneh and led to a reinvention of the self. Encoutering 'new music' from artists like John Cage, La Monte Young and Steve Reich made him realize that the way of the experiment was the right basis for his compositions. In 2009 he recorded three albums, 'Songs that might be', 'Micro' and 'Cinematographic'.
In 2011 he launched his, much acclaimed, fourth album 'MaCHiNe'.
The title MaCHiNe is a refural to the approache Rooneh took
in composing this album and of course the overall sound.
Recording bits and pieces and arranging them in a sequences
can be seen as an industrial production process, where every
sound sequence is used as a mould for the upcoming bars.
Rooneh used this technique in almost every composition, making
this his most 'minimal' album yet.
The production and mastering of the album give that extra
mechanical and industrial character.
Using the world wide web as means of distribution for his work, he tries to expand his audience.
Currently he's working on his fifth album and collaborating in several art projects. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
