Review by Gerald Lay

5Sinfonie Pasolini Sinfonie Musik Zu Lokus by Franz Hummel – A Wild Ride Through Sound Alright, buckle up. This isn’t your grandma’s classical album. Nope. 5Sinfonie Pasolini Sinfonie Musik Zu Lokus is like throwing a brick through the window of what you think music should be. Released in 1985 in Germany on the Theater Am Turm Edition label, this thing feels more like an experiment gone gloriously sideways than some polished symphony for snobs. And yeah, that’s a compliment. Let’s get one thing straight: this ain’t easy listening. It’s aggressive, it’s weird, and it doesn’t care if you “get it” or not. The genres are listed as Classical and Electronic, but man, those tags barely scratch the surface. We’re talking Experimental and Avantgarde styles here—music that punches you in the gut and leaves you questioning everything. Credits go to photographers Dino Pedriali and Walter Kranl, whose work probably matches the chaos inside the record sleeve. But let’s cut the crap and dive into two tracks that’ll stick with you long after the needle lifts. First off, there’s "Lokus." Holy hell, where do I even start? This track hits you like a freight train made of broken glass and static electricity. There’s no melody to cling to—just layers upon layers of sound smashing into each other like they’re at war. At times, it almost sounds like machinery malfunctioning, but then BAM, this eerie string section sneaks in outta nowhere, giving it this haunting vibe. You don’t just listen to "Lokus"—you survive it. And honestly? That’s why it sticks. It’s raw, unfiltered, and refuses to hold your hand. If you walk away from this track without feeling slightly violated, you weren’t paying attention. Then there’s "5.Sinfonie (Pasolini Sinfonie)", which flips the script entirely. Where "Lokus" is all jagged edges and noise, this piece lures you in with these sweeping orchestral swells that feel cinematic as hell. But don’t get comfy—it’s still got teeth. About halfway through, the electronics creep in like a virus, infecting the whole damn composition. Suddenly, you’re not sure whether you’re in a concert hall or some dystopian future where robots have taken over. It’s unsettling, but in the best way possible. By the time it ends, you’re left staring blankly at the wall, wondering what just happened. So yeah, this album isn’t for everyone. Hell, it might not even be for anyone. But that’s exactly why it works. It’s bold, it’s messy, and it doesn’t give two shits about being likable. In a world full of safe, predictable music, 5Sinfonie Pasolini Sinfonie Musik Zu Lokus dares to be different—and sometimes, that’s all you need. Final thought? Listening to this album feels like stepping into someone else’s fever dream. And honestly, isn’t that kinda beautiful? Or maybe I’m just losing my mind. Who knows.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: In 1985, German composer Franz Hummel released an album that blends classical and electronic music in a totally experimental way. It’s called *5Sinfonie Pasolini Sinfonie Musik Zu Lokus*. The album features two tracks, including one named "Lokus," which sounds as mysterious as its title suggests. What makes it stand out is how it pushes boundaries, mixing avant-garde styles with orchestral elements. Oh, and fun detail—the photography credits go to Dino Pedriali and Walter Kranl, adding a visual layer to this unique musical project. Definitely not your average record!
