Ugress - Monument Dilution

!Paul (pronounced ipaul) Unveils ‘Unfold’: A Masterpiece of Musical Evolution and Profound Introspection.

Prepare for an unparalleled sonic journey as !Paul, the exceptionally talented producer and composer presents his highly anticipated second album: Unfold. Following the success of his acclaimed debut album "Home," which captivated critics and listeners alike with its delicate balance between dance and classical genres, !Paul now shatters boundaries and reveals a sound that is both innovative and deeply personal.

"Home" was an intimate, piano-centric album that gently guided you to a place of comfort. "Unfold," however, is a bold step forward, an album that invites the listener on a journey of inner discovery and boundless experimentation. This album is a testament to !Paul's fearlessness in evolving, venturing into uncharted musical territories, and expanding his already rich palette of modern classical, new age, neo-classical, lo-fi, and dream pop.

With nine compelling singles as a prelude, !Paul has already offered the world a taste of the depth and breadth of "Unfold." From the daring, oriental sounds of 'Personal Thoughts,' where acoustic guitar takes the lead instead of his signature piano, to the cinematic, dreamy piano melodies of 'Excited' and 'The Search,' which transport you to a world of beauty and freedom.

But "Unfold" is more than just a collection of beautiful melodies; it is an album that speaks to the soul, where !Paul effortlessly connects music and title. Such as in 'New Day,' where downtempo, chillout, and indie dance influences herald a fresh start, or in 'She Whispers,' where an enchanting piano and a gentle voice guide you through life's chaos.

The album delves deeper into the human experience with introspective pieces like 'As It Is,' capturing a moment of focused serenity, and 'Self-reflection,' a pure example of musical art that transforms depth, silence, and thoughtfulness into sound. And then there's 'Nowhere Fast,' a track that invites you to wander, daydream, and find peace in the 'in-between.' Even the ode to friendship, 'Friends 4 Life,' is infused with !Paul's characteristic dreamy piano lines.

The musical journey culminates in the previously unreleased 'Echoes.' This closing track opens with the typical !Paul piano sound, underpinned by a deeper synth layer that keeps you engaged without drowning out his exquisite piano playing. Is it his own echo he hears, are they the footsteps of his own past resonating? It's an open ending that simultaneously offers peace, a perfect representation of the momentum in !Paul's existence.

"Unfold" is not just an album; it is an invitation to grow, reflect, and embrace. It is the sound of an artist fully at home in his craft, a gift that Toan Madritsch, the creative force behind !Paul, shares with unprecedented grace and profound depth. Allow yourself to be carried away by the layering, the emotion, and the unparalleled musicality of !Paul’s 'Unfold'.

Violinist and producer Alex Stolze has earned a strong reputation for his unique music. He switches seamlessly between modern classical instrumentation and sensitive electronica and manages to create a previously unseen sound based on his 5-string violin. Middle Eastern scales create a beguiling soundscape, complex polyrhythms and unusual time signatures become addictive, danceable grooves and rousing songs. Alex Stolze's work with the electronic trio Bodi Bill, the avant-garde band Dictaphone and his work as founder and head of Nonostar Records, on which Anne Müller, Ben Osborn, Qrauer and Field Kit have also already released, also repeatedly attracts international attention. In autumn 2024, his third studio album רעש ו רוח “Raash ve Ruach” was released on the Neue Meister label.
