‘Tragic Monochrome’ is the title of the new cryptic scenery album, released in June 2011 on Tosom,which had previously also released the 2008 album,‘The Radar Society’.
This first full-length record by the current two-piece line-up can roughly be categorized as being situated somewhere in the spheres of Ambient and Drone music.The tracks alter between brief miniatures and long, spheric excursions.
The album is fully instrumental, with guitars, guitar loops and saxophone as basic instruments. Additional instrumentation features percussion, stylophone, mandolin and melodica. For this album, no synthesizers as such were utilized, although several of the instruments were electronically processed at the mixing stage.
As is often the case with the music of cryptic scenery, the tonal content is of mostly repetitive, hypnotic nature -but the sonic stage, the aural landscape is complex.

Composed, recorded, produced and mixed by Christian H. Sötemann.

Performed by cryptic scenery:
Christian H. Sötemann - guitars, electronics, stylophone, mandolin, percussion and melodica
Thomas Pertzel - saxophones and percussion
