Biography:
Reimer Eising is Kettel (1982), elixer-brewing, camping-loving and musicmaking sorcerer-to-be. Part of the mysterious USA-based Kracfive label, where he released his debut album 'Dreim' (2001) and an vinyl/cd EP peculiarly titled 'Look At This, Ha! Ha! Ha!' (2003), containing Kettel-tracks from the past. Long forgotten songs, sung by gnomes and choirs containing crocodiles and blackbirds only. His newer releases, 'Cuddle' and 'Then Leave' on DUB recording and Through Friendly Waters on Sending Orbs, tend to described as "dwarfy and birdy". Kettel has been playing piano since he was a tiny tot. His first compositions were made using pen and paper. Electronic composition expanded his possibilities, like he says, "the ultimate way of making every sound ever". Yet electronic 'experiments' with gear and sonic hiccups is not his thing: "I'd rather write an orchestral piece than experimenting how far a machine or computer can go to hell." The use of acoustic instruments and vocals is a new thing in his music. According to Eising, music is about beauty, emotion and entertainment: "I know the whole world says it, but I say it three times louder. Every music without beauty is noise to me."
