sgnl_fltr

An electronic music project for ambient electronica and experimental techno started by Danny Kreutzfeldt in Aarhus, Denmark during 2003. It was officially discontinued in 2009 with the release of Iktus after a long production hiatus. Subsequent releases such as Mtnada_ep feature older works.

Upon it’s conception for the release of the experimental techno album Mikro in 2003, Sgnl_Fltr was only one among many monikers used by Kreutzfeldt. Apart from the ambient and noise released as Danny Kreutzfeldt, Sectorchestra, Fallingapparatus and Periskop are all known to have been used along with Sgnl_Fltr for the different aspects of Kreutzfeldt’s numerous and versatile solo productions around the middle of the decade.

From 2004 to around 2008 Sgnl_Fltr would evolve to be the most prevalent of these many solo projects. With Mikro being a strictly digital release on Danish label Aalborg.dk.records, the Sgnl_Fltr project started out as part of the netlabel scene, where music is offered as free downloads. In 2004 however, Sgnl_Fltr got affiliated with Aalborg.dk.records, that also released Danny Kreutzfeldt’s highly acclaimed Counterperipheral. Databloem went on to release three Sgnl_Fltr CD albums: Vebra, Chrono and Exhalo. This affiliation also made the successful French ambient electronica label Aalborg.dk.records interested in the project, which resulted in the release of the atmospheric track Waters on Oxycanta - Winter Blooms in 2007.

Throughout Sgnl_Fltr remained rooted in the netlabel scene as well, with various remix and compilation contributions as well as the very dark and experimental techno album Atrum released on Aalborg.dk.records in 2006.
