Kobermann’s “Unterland” is the seventh album by Austrian sound artist Johannes Piller. Composed with modular synthesizers and field recordings, the 60-minute cassette release explores the space between ambient, dub, and minimalism. Across seven tracks, Kobermann creates slow, meditative structures that resist digital hyper-speed in favor of texture, patience, and subtle transformation. Echoes of Biosphere, Jan Jelinek, and early tape-based New Age emerge — yet Unterland follows its own inner terrain. A release for listeners who prefer depth over immediacy.

For ten years now, Johannes Piller has been operating under the synonym Kobermann, which is dedicated entirely to electronic and electro-acoustic music. In the process, chance stumbles across the self-taught musician and falls headfirst into handmade dub, where tribal and post-punk wish each other good night. With A.T.C. Records, Kobermann created his own home port from which he strolls through the Viennese hustle and bustle and winks teasingly at like-minded people.
