Drawings

In this 40-page book,which as a further reference to the record business comes in the format of a 7’’ vinyl EP, Blumm presents imaginary landscapes of his mind, ball point drawings, feltpen scribbles, pencil strokes, lines and curves, shapes and random patterms, each stretching out over a double page. At times, there will be concrete objects, such as a hand or a couple of mushrooms, occasionally there are hints at animals or human members, but mostly the conturs are too unique for comparisons, existing in their own system of references. Three things are immediately noticable: Despite being very different in nature and obviously created individually, these pictures seem to relate to each other, like scenes from a sitcom with a long gap in between the episodes. Or as if they were merely snapshots of one large painting with manifold areas. Secondly, the same directness of Blumm’s music shines through in his drawings as well: There seems to be no intellectual censor at work here at any time. And thirdly, there is a gripping sense of movement, even in the emptier moments, when the space outside of the frame tells as much of the story as its actual content.
