Picture
        Horse Head Bookends is the new full-length record from Andrew Reichel who
performs and creates music under the moniker Gel-Sol.
A long-time composer with multiple international releases and tours under his belt
since 1998, Gel-Sol has been known for creating vast soundscapes, wild improvisations
and intensely deep compositions. He uses a brazen approach to sampling-
“plunderphonics” and a philosophical take on genre- “Paracosmic” (parascosm being a
fictional universe and his art existing in his own paracosm).
Further detailing Gel-Sol’s unique paracosm, is Horse Head Bookends, an album
that is progressive in nature. The music constantly shifts through genres: space rock,
Berlin School electronic, RnB/funk, avant-garde, dub, and minimalism. This comes from
years of deep listening, study, and experimentation.
       Andy plays all instruments on this release- not limited to, but including, live drums,
lap steel, his massive modular synthesizer (named MORT), and even manipulating
cassette players. He also single-handedly created the massive visual art package from
conception to layout. The intricate, colorful collage work parallels the musical
compositions, with a custom panel of artwork for each respective piece of music.
The concept behind the album design features a die-cut opening in the front cover;
with each piece of art on a full size insert, the cover can be changed to suit your mood.
Horse Head Bookends is designed to be a full-on journey, with seamless mixes on each
program side - a complete, coherent concept, from start to finish.
