Sophia Nzayisenga & Andi Otto: Abagore Barashoboye

"Zwischen Uns" is the debut movie of the German director Max Fey, featuring Liv Lisa Fries, Jona Eisenblatter, Thure Lindhardt, Lena Urzendowsky, Corinna Harfouch a.o.

The movie narrates a minimalistic story about a mother who is torn between exhaustion and loving affection for her son whose mental condition does not fit into the norms of the educational system.
After the premiere at Hofer Filmtage in October 2021 it is now showing in selected cinemas in Germany, distributed by Wildbunch.

This is Andi Otto's first full-length film soundtrack. He took a unique set of electronically extended instruments to his studio in Hamburg to compose ten reduced, emotional sound tableaus for the movie. The music was subsequently slightly edited to fit the format of this soundtrack release.

The soundtrack releases June 16, 2022

All music written and produced by Andi Otto in Hamburg 2021-2022.

"your bullet's gonna scathe me
a love that's had its hey day
now im standing where it's shady
see through me sedate me
it's midday now I lie low
just watching how the wind blows
in this light the day glows
treehouse view im painting

abandon all the make up
and everything i'm afraid of
undo all my braids and
i'm freeing all the waves
so rid me of the cravings
there's a limit to this fable
kisses on my navel
i'm willing and i'm able"

Springintgut - Bangalore Kids

"Kilani" is taken from the album "Entangleland" (Pingipung 070, 2020).

label info:
F.S.Blumm enters Andi Otto's studio with a bag of strings and a mission to create quirky, peaceful soundscapes. The two artists intertwine acoustic and electric guitars, harps, electric bass, psaltery and cello in eleven electronica compositions ranging from neo-classical gravity ("Entangleland") to spaced-out dub jams ("Active Fault Map"). "Yukiyama" evolves in multilayered patterns braided over warm tape-noise. "Kilani" reminds of Rabih Abou Khalil's ECM recordings, with its oriental scale and a beat that counts to seven. The tunes shine most when silence takes over, when the sounds find space to unfold and decay. Far from being trivial ambient lullabies, these compositions burst with detail. Bells rattle, a kalimba resonates, and vintage synths induce their voltage into the acoustic framework.

Andi Otto and F.S.Blumm have been BFFs and musical collaborators in the studio as well as on stages between Berlin and Tokyo for more than a decade now, the heyday being their previous duo album "The Bird And White Noise" in 2014. 
On "Entangleland", Andi Otto contributes the cello, harp and synth recordings and takes care of the mixing. Compared to his recent releases on Multi Culti or Shika Shika, these tracks are less dancefloor oriented. The calm of this album is a prolific environment for Otto to pluck the acoustic cello which we usually hear in a more processed way in his solo works.
F.S.Blumm contributes guitar and bass recordings as well as saturated percussion echoes from his self-made spiral box. Blumm is famous for his acoustic solo productions since his early outings on Morr Music or Tomlab, he has also appeared on Pingipung a few times, for example with his album "Up Up And Astray" or as a Lee 'Scratch' Perry collaborator with the "Quasi Dub Development" project. He recorded three duo album together with Nils Frahm and is a member of the mighty "Jeff Özdemir & Friends" collective in Berlin.

"Entangleland" sees the two artists weave together a mass of acoustic motifs, synthetic melodies, riddims and improv jams where the magic emerges from the sum of the parts. "It's not about accompanying a cello theme with the guitar or vice versa.", Andi Otto says. "Entangling sound means letting go of hierarchies, that no one is first. Our studio is not a control room, it's a place of imagination where we take things apart and make things whole."
