The productive Conny Olivetti released his tenth album “Probing the Sonic Heritage” this Summer, and like with earlier albums I wonder over the change of scenes from album to album, the creativity and the details. I guess the title refers to his sources of inspiration, but even if I can sense some of them and note a direct reference here and there, it’s Conny’s own soundscape I enter.

And this time it feels dark, from the suggestively mysterious to the ominous to the direct frightening as in songs like “Die Hüter des Gesetzes” and “Room 13”. The filmic feeling is even more prominent this time, like if the songs are small films in themselves, constantly in movement and changing, enhanced by new details and voice samplings. An album that demands some attention from the listener and which certainly deserves it.
