Nice layering of guitar motifs, and then rhythms.

like 'Weclome to Lunar Industries' on coffee. Ha!

Lovely gradual change all the way through.

Constant movement. We drift continuously across axes which in turn shift their position over endless layers of reference points in space. Nothing is set and fixed for eternity, except movement. An oscillator on a synthesiser never stops droning, we just open the gates and grasp its sound for a certain time. These glimpses of the continuum are what gives us, humans, the feeling of time and being alive.
Music as representation of movement and flow, and as a transformation of the elements given to us to express awe, love, and submission to the forces of nature and its beauty. This is why we are on this trip. We want to leave the white noise created around us and focus on the big, vast concept of synchronised movements. Without getting ontological, to just imagine the complexity of nature, works as a way out of the banality of the news, the who and why, and all the noise. Just observe and listen.

Go For It

This album has influences from multiple electronic genres and artists. I originally was going to make a techno album but i had different ideas pop up in my head that weren't techno. So we have an album filled with all the electonic ideas that were directly coming from raves, festivals, and my favorite songs.

Following the announcement of his new solo debut album 'Eternal Something' due March 24th on Erased Tapes, Daniel Brandt, co-founder of Germany’s electroacoustic ensemble Brandt Brauer Frick, shares the incredible second single from his upcoming album.

"I recorded Chaparral Mesa a year ago while I was involved in a recording session for another album in Malibu. We had rented a very beautiful place overlooking hills and the sea and we had a nice basic setup to record in there with a few guitars and a moog synth. I started recording a lot of guitars on top of each other and somehow the song arranged itself. I didn’t really touch it and just went along with naturally had to happen within the song. Later I added the second part, the drumheavy one. This one was based on a session I once had with my friend Bryan Philips from Chile when I was visting him in La Serena. I took the basics from that session and added a lot of new drums later on when I was at a proper studio and then added that part to the new song. In the end Chaparral Mesa was the most quickly made song on the album but has also become the longest." – Daniel Brandt

Brandt also joins The xx at their sold out show at O2 Academy Brixton on March 14th for a support DJ set. Prior to that he will be taking part in Classic Album Sunday's ‘Meet The Composer’ event on March 13th, which takes place at the Erased Tapes Sound Gallery.

What started off as a more simplistic idea soon evolved into something a lot more complex as the London and Berlin based music producer travelled across the world, experimenting with various other artists and different instruments. From his father’s cabin based in the German countryside with access to nothing but cymbals, to being surrounded by guitars in Joshua Tree, his unexpected journey soon progressed into what became his first solo album. 

Daniel played nearly all instruments himself with the only exception being fellow musicians Florian Juncker on trombone, Manu Delago on hang drum and Andreas Voss on cello. Using his Berlin studio as his main base for recording, Brandt created an album that encapsulates the idea that despite setting out with a particular creative vision, external influences and environments will always shift the process, and create an Eternal Something.

Words from Daniel, January 2017:

“The initial idea was to make a cymbal album. I wanted to surround myself with all types of cymbals. I locked myself into my father’s cabin in the woods for three days. That was the moment I realised it was not possible for me to make an album just with cymbals because other ideas and instruments imposed themselves on me. I had a clear sense of what I wanted to do now. The intention was to let the songs evolve by themselves and not edit too much, keep it raw and have an explosion-like energy to them. I wanted to create a different sound, songs that build up like dance tunes but don't feel like club music at all. Travelling around in California for two months gave me the possibility to deeply get into this concept outside my normal environment. Robert Raths, who served as a great motivator throughout the whole process (I guess he had listened to the record more than I ever had) came up with the perfect order for the songs. This record is about failing to make the original plan happen, but then the discovery of something I couldn't even think of before.”

Founded by sonic architect and explorer Robert Raths aka ghostworker in 2007, Erased Tapes is a truly independent record label that has disrupted the industry and rejuvenated the musical landscape. The London-based label has consistently nurtured genre-defying artists from all around the world without losing its avant-garde ethos.

2015 saw BBC 6 Music radio presenter Mary Anne Hobbs stage an Erased Tapes evening featuring Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the prestigious BBC Prom. It was the fastest selling ticket of the entire season. Shortly after Erased Tapes was awarded Best Small Label 2015 at the AIM Awards.

On February 5th 2017 Erased Tapes opened the doors to its new East London home, marking the 10th anniversary by introducing fans and the public to the new Erased Tapes Sound Gallery.

“Ten years of one of the most important record labels of the last few years“ — Gilles Peterson

"Over the last decade, Robert Raths’ label Erased Tapes has developed a sonic profile perfectly in step with the growing taste for quiet, meditative works on the cusp of ambient and chamber music" — The Independent

“The heart-string-tugging London label that floats gently between 20th century composition and ambient music” — Rolling Stone
