Murmeln
um Schiffland is the gorgeous new work by murmeln (aka multi-instrumentalist and award-winning composer
and writer Ben Osborn). This exclusive debut EP under a new name signals the breakthrough
moment for this prolific but elusive artist.
“Murmeln’s vast history of composition has led
him to a subtle sonic blend of electro-acoustic, classical and slacker folk.
Haiku and Tanka guide the listener through a dreamlike landscape of modern day
archetypes, between the lines and off the page.” – WANDA
“The text of Murmeln um Schiffland drifts
tide-like between the connected poles of journal and dream-narrative, or back
and forth along the route of passage between poem – lyric – song. In
their playful immediacy, the poetry and prose recall the anecdotal lyrics of
O’Hara’s Lunch Poems, or a minimal form reminiscent of
Snyder, Rexroth and American haiku. Lurking
within Murmeln um Schiffland, too, is a stonier, Rilkean sensibility
open to ‘holy vision’, to the terrible and divine as they are revealed in the
ecstatic of the modern city. Winter transfigures into spring and Berlin is
afloat, the singer-poet ‘muttering at ship-country’.”
