TREE

Weeping Willow

Format: Download | Releasedate: 17.07.2015

It was late last fall when “Walk On”, the sophomore solo album by musical allrounder Arnold Kasar came out. Now, almost a year later, five of the twelve album tracks have been reworked and remixed over the last few months by a selected armada of DJs and producers from within or with close bonds to the Sonar Kollektiv family circle.
The selection of these reconstructors here at work couldn't have been more diverse and hence more thrilling. Starting with Polish producer Guiddo (one half of the Sonar Kollektiv act Manhooker) carving “Dawning” – in the vocal as well as in the instrumental mix – into a Balearic gem straight out the mid-eighties.
Also closely connected to Sonar Kolletiv for quite some time now is Moscow producer and whiz kid Phil Gerus, currently based in Tokyo. Previously known for his chillwavy, glitch downbeat, this time round Gerus turns “Dance To The Mallet” into a proper house tune with the common breakdown and 808 hi-hats. The same track has also been reworked by Pitto from Utrecht, Japanese producer Kazuki Yamaguchi aka Kez YM and Venice based DJ/producer Albert Marzinotto. Contrary to Phil Gerus, Pitto hauls Lisa Bassenge's (singer of the legendary Sonar Kollektiv act Micatone) voice completely to the foreground and accompanies her with vibes and a pulsating beat. It's in the same fashion Marzinotto gets to work, but his remix is directed more openly to the dancefloor, equipping it with a Chicago House aesthetic. Kez YM's remix pushes back Bassenge's vocals again, using them primarily as an euphoriant effect in this choicest deep house track.
On the other hand the remix for “Gone” by Robot Koch has nothing to do with club music. Here it's Arnold Kasar's voice duetting with Susan Pawlak which is sprinkled very cautious into Koch's sombre dub electronics. For “So-Called Lover” we have Paskal & Urban Absolutes, Al Lindrum and Tubbe contributing three fantastic remixes. Whereas the one by Tubbe only partly uses the original material as a template, but still succeeds to deal fairly with Kasar's lyrics and therewith conjures almost a new song up out of nothing. To close this remix package rich in variety Paul “Snax” Bonomo and Mavin LeMagass (1/2 of Manhooker) attaches a finale like a thunderbolt. Their remix (BonomoLeMagass) for “Masquerade” (somehow connects all the loose joints of every form of house music of the last 30 years. That's why there's also the dub version included, paying tribute to Acid House furthermore. This alone is worth the purchase of this brilliant collection.

(For open collaboration details - read below)

Last summer I had the exciting privilege to meet a very special person - David Klavins (@ThePianoGuy), the creator of two unique pianos: The Giant and Una Corda. A gentle power and a shimmering dream. An old wise ocean and a sweet youthful fantasia. Northern Lights and Eternal Rainbow. I am trying to find the right words to express it as I literally got lost when I touched The Giant and Una Corda. I was trapped in the fairy tale where elves are playing their magical harps in a Shimmering Forest.

When I came back to reality, the enchantment followed me all the way home and I let it touch the keys and create its magic, loving and improvisational, romantic and jazzy. This is how Una Corda Fantasia album was born. For you to listen and enjoy the dream.

Let Me Tell You A Story - Una Corda Fantasia - New Album and Open Collaboration!

Solo Remains are previously unreleased tracks from Nils Frahm’s album Solo, which was recorded on the M370, the world’s largest piano, built by the visionary piano maker David Klavins in 1987.

Nils fell in love with the sound of this giant and joined David for the new project – building an even higher piano – the Model 450. The aim of it is to explore the not yet reached physical limits of the piano instrument and also to push forward into new musical dimensions. The M450 will be characterized by an even clearer sound with more depth and richness of overtones as well as an unrivaled frequency spectrum and intensity of sound and tone. In time for the 2nd anniversary of Piano Day, Nils decided to give four previously unreleased songs from that very session to his fans and supporters of the Klavins 450 project.

“In the end, every album production leaves you with the same tough task – making the choices for the final track selection. You leave out some tracks for various reasons: some of the tracks are wonderful by themselves, but they simple don’t fit anywhere in the album and others have to be left out because otherwise the vinyl would become too long for a cut in good quality. However, these outtakes are often as important as the final selection and I thought, they might be a great surprise for Piano Day too. I hope in this case, it’s both …”

Solo Remains is available for free download in 24-bit and mp3 format.
