In the nineties, Vienna became famous for its electronic music scene and Bernhard Fleischmann found its unique place in it. A laptop, sound loops, rhythm patterns. A gig at the legendary picknick@rhiz festival. Indulging melodies, but never sugary, surrounded by tricky rhythm structures. Songs, not just tracks, arranged on an impressing record – “pop loops for breakfast” found the love story between Bernhard Fleischmann and the young label Morr Music in autumn 1998. The “Sidonie EP” followed in 1999. Bernhard Fleischmann became a busy live artist, touring through Austria, Germany, Europe, the USA and nearly the rest of the world. The album “Choir of Empty Beds” was released on Fuzzy Box (2000). Besides, tracks for compilations on Morr Music (“Putting the Morr back into Morrissey“) and other labels – Christof Kurzmann’s Vienna based label Charizma, for instance. Bernhard Fleischmann’s “Nico”-7inch was the opener for the Morr Music-series “a number of small things” (2001).
Later came “Welcome Tourist” (autumn 2001) featuring Christof Kurzmann.
Together with Herbert Weixelbaum Bernhard Fleischmann formed Duo 505, delicate pulsing electronica. Their album “late” was released in autumn 2005 on Morr Music.
Together with Christof Kurzmann, Burkhard Stangl, Martin Siewert and Werner Dafeldecker – those who already have played one song together on “Welcome Tourist” – he founded The Year of, a country-esque chamber orchestra with slide guitars, clarinets, interferences, echo chambers. Songs in cinemascope, electro-acoustic experiences. Their debut “Slow Days” was released in spring 2006 also on Morr Music.
And there is „The Humbucking Coil“ Bernhard Fleischmann’s third solo record released in February 2006 – euphoric pop in slow motion, rustling rhythm patterns, songs that linger and indulge. Vibraphone, piano, electric guitars in a still electronic working process. Pop songs of course.
Bernhard Fleischmann is also the composer for different film scores: Bady Mincks “Am Anfang war der Blick“ (shown in Cannes 2003); Jörg Kalts “Crash Test Dummies” (shown at the berlinale 2005); and Marc Bauders and Dörte Frankes “Jeder schweigt von etwas anderem” (shown at the Berlinale 2006).

B. Fleischmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
いつか大きな川になり (woo)
枯らしてきた その苗が
花になり街の角に咲く
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
無駄な事はひとつもあらへんよ
Yeah yeah
Let's go
努力は人に見せるもんやない
報いを得てはまた survive
ここに居てるやつが全てじゃない
だから顔下げれやしない
自分に誇れる自分になり
再び足 踏み出したい
と思う人が いたら尚いい
まだ拙い けど 繋いだ声
負ける訳にはいかん (ay)
何より自分に負けたらアカンよ (umm)
負ける訳にはいかん (ay)
笑われるなら挑戦し笑われたいねん
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
夢で帆を張る daydream believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
労いの日々から辿る今
成功の鍵は勝ち負けじゃない
丁寧に絡まりあう奇跡 (ay)
出来る出来へんよりやるかやらんかが全て 何を chase
(Woo) ただヤケクソになり投げ出してた 面影に
(Ayy) 重なる輝かしき理想の形 (what what, Let's go)
いつか始まった事が終わって
何の為の努力やこの汗
でもシケたツラはすんなって (hey)
道草も食って大人になって
大人になっても子供であって
飛び込む一度閉めたドアだって
不器用ながらただ前 go ahead
可能性がある限り go ahead
Let's go 負ける訳にはいかん (ay)
何より自分に負けたらアカンよ (umm)
負ける訳にはいかん (ay)
笑われるなら挑戦し笑われたいねん
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
夢で帆を張る daydream believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
労いの日々から辿る今
結末以上にリアルな
涙をいつか見たから
ここで後ろに引くのか
知らなかった自分と出会う
でもドキドキする方を選びたいねん
負ける訳にはいかん (ay)
何より自分に負けたらアカンよ (umm)
負ける訳にはいかん (ay)
笑われるなら挑戦し笑われたいねん
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
夢で帆を張る daydream believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
夢で帆を張る daydream believer
The lyrics of B. Fleischmann's song "Under" delve into themes of perseverance, self-discovery, and the pursuit of dreams. The opening lines reflect the idea that the hard work and sweat one puts in will eventually lead to something bigger and more beautiful, like a small seed growing into a blooming flower in the city streets. The repetition of "Yeah yeah yeah yeah" adds a sense of determination and energy to the message being conveyed.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of not giving up, of not losing to oneself. There is a call to action to lift oneself up, to put in effort without seeking validation from others. The idea that effort should not be showcased to others, but rather is a personal journey towards self-improvement and survival, is highlighted. The song encourages the listener to be proud of themselves, to keep moving forward, and to surround themselves with people who inspire them to take steps towards their goals.
The concept of not accepting defeat and being willing to face challenges and laughter head-on is reiterated throughout the song. The lyrics suggest that success is not solely defined by winning or losing, but by the intricate miracles that occur when one puts in the effort. The message is clear that one should not abandon their ideals but should strive to achieve them, even if it means stumbling along the way.
The closing verses of the song touch on the evolving nature of life and the importance of embracing both the child and adult sides of oneself. The lyrics encourage taking risks, facing fears, and always moving forward, no matter the setbacks or obstacles encountered. The repeated refrain of "Let's go" serves as a rallying cry to keep pushing forward, to never give up, and to continue dreaming and pursuing those dreams with unwavering belief and determination.

A bit more visceral than Tim Hecker, a bit more musical as well. This is some deep stuff. Hard to describe indeed.
Guille C, Productor Musical ingenioso
Excellent mastering job, every sound detail has a perfect place in this private and emotional landscape
Holy drums and rhythms 15:10 what happens is perfect
But I feel some hope finally 24:00 just No words to say
I feel like I ran out of emotional resources to listen For M
