Release date: 12th September 2022

Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

Roth prefers to describe the album as minimalistic rather than ambient with each track stripped back to create space for one leading sound, instrument or melody. This results in an immersive listening experience, and instead of being pulled in multiple directions, we’re gently led to wherever Roth wants us to go.

This skill reflects the depth and breadth of Roth’s production experience. He learnt piano from a young age and bought his first synthesizer in his late teens. Around the same time he dived headfirst into Frankfurt’s underground, spending his weekends submerged in the sounds and selections of Sven Väth and Culture Beat’s Torsten Fenslau at institutions like Omen and Dorian Gray. When Roth began playing local clubs, Frankfurt’s melancholic influence impacted his music and has remained ever since, regardless which genre he’s turned his hand to.

‘Mono No Aware’ is the second album released on Reflections, and is a further exploration of Roth’s analog past. Martin released his first low-tempo LP ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’ in 2020 and says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which translates to ‘an awareness that everything fades away.’

Roth’s ambition for ‘Mono No Aware’ is that it touches the listener in the same way his first album did. “When I released An Analog Guy In A Digital World, suddenly I received messages from people all over the world,” Roth says. “They were long, heartfelt, heartbreaking messages, about how a certain track supported them through the hardest moments of their lives. The people who write these messages have no idea how much they are supporting me, so I hope the music on Mono No Aware touches people in the same way.”

Mono No Aware is out now on Reflections.

Let’s share secrets.  

_finally, we started dreams when we want UP#_

I am drinking whiskey like a green tea 💚

I dance under the gaze, where are you, my love... I am the ashes of your wings.

How symmetrical is your web, to add life, oh Magdalene, a little life and formalin. I am careful and irreversible. My hands are your living water. Drop by drop you can ask God, but only I can resurrect you. A little alcohol and formalin… and once again you live beautifully.

I just discovered your universe… and it truly touched me.
There’s something fragile and deep in your lyrics, your visuals, and in that silent voice you bring to life....

My God, I’m mixin’ up my thoughts with yours, readin’ your mind, scribblin’ it down with a shaky hand... My hands are glowin’ when I’m scribblin’ down after you.  I’m trippin’, seein’ the earth.

I am nothing more than a guide.

Some love vinyl, some love those plastic discs, cassettes of all sorts. I wouldn’t mind either. Big beautiful covers, decent sound. But more than anything, I love MP3s. Not just because they never scratch (I get upset if I damage a record, and when I have guests over, I’m not very careful with things). There’s something divine about it: you never truly get it, you don’t own it, but you hear it. A digital file can come to you in any quality, it can transform into a FLAC, revealing new dimensions of sound..
In the poetic context, FLAC symbolizes the pursuit of purity and depth in sound perception. The mention of FLAC in my text emphasizes the uniqueness of digital music: it can come in various quality levels while offering the opportunity to hear the unheard—rich details and nuances that often get lost in more compressed formats. In this sense, FLAC becomes a metaphor for the quest for a deeper understanding and feeling of music, as well as for the aspiration towards a higher degree of awareness and intelligence in life.

The only thing brighter than the moonlight is the desire I see dancing in your eyes. Perhaps we can turn up the heat a little... with a touch of something unspoken?

#hot#so#but#not

🌌🌑🌊Syndrome of seeking mystical beauty  
Has made me search for you my whole life.  
Spitting out leaves and flower petals,  
I waited for the one, for I am ready for him:  
The tea bud, the mystery of chance encounters,  
Red water from your core  
Is easily sipped, like never before;  
You’re the right temperature,  
All the others are mere caricatures.  
And on a new, gloomy, overcast morning,  
I will believe that you come from the place  
Where the great Buddha melts arrows.
🤍🥭
The pulling earth
Vibrating closeness
Bodies of identities
Cosmic etudes
Mixing with desires
With what hasn't been experienced
