Djivan Gasparyan - A Cool Wind Is Blowing

"Oh Sun! Do rise so the atoms dance!
The One who causes the earth and the heavens to dance

Joyful souls, in ecstasy, they dance 
I whisper into your ears where the dance is leading them 

Inside the cell or out in the space
In the wilderness and in the air 
Adore every atom that exists 
Cause they, too, like us 
Are befuddled and amazed

Whether in the state of keen pleasure
Or in the state of deep sorrow
Each atom,
By the ineffable Sun,
Is mystified and perplexed"

Markus Sieber - ronroco
Alexander Nickmann - fender rhodes, synthesizer, beats

In a lot of ways, Aukai’s self-titled debut is the sound of Markus Sieber bringing his career full circle. Having spent part of the ’90s playing rock music in East Germany, the composer/multi-instrumentalist then shifted his focus to acting, only to have music creep back into his life after a mind-altering move to Mexico.

“This album and project has a lot to do with memories from travel,” explains Sieber, “but also memories from childhood and nature. How did the river smell in summer? I wanted to create a sonic space where music guides the listener into some imaginative inner world.”

Which explains why he came up with the name Aukai in the first place; it’s the Hawaiian word for a seafaring traveler, the sort of person who seeks out the stillness in uncertain waters. In the case of Sieber’s new record, that meant spending a winter holed up in a mountainside cabin around Colorado’s La Plata Canyon. Basic tracks were then cut in a Berlin studio and brought into full relief alongside cellist Anne Muller (Agnes Obel Band, Nils Frahm), violinist Bogdan Djukic, pianist Angelika Baumbach, sound designer Alexander Nickmann, and longtime collaborator Jamshied Sharifi (Laurie Anderson, Sting, Dream Theater).

Here’s what Sieber had to say about its lead single, “Cachoeira,” along with a complete rundown of the record and its cover art:

“Cachoeira”, meaning waterfall in Portuguese, was inspired by my travels to northeastern Brazil, a region rich of rivers and waterfalls. It’s the track on the album which goes farthest into an electronic direction, merging the acoustic and natural sounding layers of the Ronroco, a Latin American string instrument, with Fender Rhodes, synthesizer, and beats. For each piece of the album, I had a particular vision for the instrumentation and musicians I wanted to collaborate with; for “Cachoeira”, I worked with my brother Alexander Nickmann, a Berlin-based sound designer and composer.

Dirk Maassen - The Unforgettable (please support and follow me on spotify)

I have known recently Dirk Maassen for his wonderful music and as a person.
Generous in any sense and deeply dedicated to his and other people work.
His piano, a bliss.
Here I have only contributed with an orchestral arrangement which was due to the inspiring song Dirk has created. A full collaboration will come soon.
Thank you Dirk
