Marsen Jules is one of the aliases for the musical output of Martin Juhls from Dortmund/Germany. As Marsen Jules he concerns himself with compression of atmosphere and emotion in the most abstract sense, based on carefully selected sound fragments and quotations. Maybe one could think of ordinary sampling, but Marsen Jules processes another step further. Neither the sampled sound nor the Instrument itself is centered in his work, actually its the particular moment, where the authenticity, emotion and overall atmosphere is reflected at the most; the moments that in the ordinary way of listening remain hidden to the usual listener. Moments that are caught and extracted by Marsen Jules, to increase their density, to extend into length and arrange them in continuous loops within a temporal environment. The results are almost static sonorous pictures full of emotion and expression, whose filigrane movements reflect equally riot and composure to the fullest. His first two Creative Commons-licensed and freely downloadable MP3-Albums were released on Autoplate, although they are no longer available from the label site itself since it folded in 2008. The third Marsen Jules Album has been released on Berlin based City Centre Offices in early 2005. Simply translated as “autumn leaves”, Herbstlaub offers an ethereal narrative that accompanies both its title and artwork perfectly.

I was wondering the same thing - I keep waiting to break through the surface of the other albums, but have yet to go anywhere. Maybe houseintheswamp's track suggestion will help... ?

Why is Les Fleurs so significantly better than anything else he's done?

Amazing. Some tracks sound like Silent Hill OSTs and Deaf Center combined. It couldn't get any better. :)

I finally listened to Herbstlaub and I absolutely loved every second of it. Reminds me a lot of Emanuele Errante and his work. Great studying/nighttime music.

Just listened to Golden this evening. I think that may have been my first complete listen to the album and I loved every minute of it. Great stuff.
