My most favorite thing to do is spend time exploring a new synth or effect and seeing how I can manipulate it in different ways. From a day in the studio doing just that I came up with this interesting sounding lead line made possible by my friend Adam from Veus instruments and his Veno-Echo.

The Berlin Effect

Electric Highway Part 2 bridges the gap between their debut Sound & Reason album and the forthcoming follow up. Part 2 of this thematic jam expands on an idea first captured in the debut, but opens out both in sound and scope. Stabbing guitars and wobbling synths support a heavy bass and drum beat that can just as easily sit alongside hip-hop cuts as contemporary jazz pieces like the work of Vels Trio. 

New London based quartet Qwalia, led by drummer Yusuf Ahmed, offer a plethora of influences whilst remaining resolutely itself. Assembled from musicians who play with David Byrne, Joy Crookes, Nubiyan Twist, Frank Ocean, Jordan Rakei, Sampha, Cat Stevens and more; Yusuf is joined by Tal Janes on guitars and vocals, Ben Reed on bass and keyboardist Joseph Costi. Qwalia’s debut album ‘Sound And Reason’ is set for release by Alberts Favourites on 24th March 2023.

Denovali is pleased to present the second cooperation album of the Italian composer, arranger, producer and guitarist ERALDO BERNOCCHI with the Berlin-based Japanese violinist, composer, electronic producer and TANGERINE DREAM member HOSHIKO YAMANE.

Eraldo Bernocchi and Hoshiko Yamane have come together again to create their second album - inspired by the Japanese concept of "Sabi". The record is a unique blend of electronic and acoustic music - with Bernocchi’s pulsating textures and Yamane's haunting treated violin melodies weaving together to create a captivating and emotional sonic landscape.

"Sabi" is a Japanese aesthetic that celebrates the beauty of impermanence and decay. It is often associated with the simplicity, austerity, and solitude found in nature, and is said to evoke a sense of melancholy, nostalgia, and reverence for the passage of time. Bernocchi and Yamane's "Sabi" explores these themes through a collection of minimalist compositions that combine electronic and acoustic instruments immersing the listener in a deeply cinematic experience.

The album takes the listener on a journey through a series of atmospheric tracks, sometimes melancholic pieces that evokes the sense of solitude and simplicity often associated with the concept, other times more energetic and uplifting, optimistic ones that celebrates the beauty of transience.

Throughout the record, Bernocchi's electronics work provides a powerful, quite physical, backdrop for Yamane's violin melodies and harmonies , which are at once mournful and hopeful. Together, they again created a sound that is both beautiful and haunting, evoking the sense of nostalgia and reverence that is at the heart of the "Sabi" aesthetic. "Sabi" is a unique and powerful work of art that explores the beauty of impermanence and the passage of time. With its blend of electronic and acoustic elements, it is a record that is both modern and timeless, and is sure to appeal to a wide range of fans of electronic, ambient and experimental music. The artwork again was created by the renowned designer Petulia Mattioli.

English Lyrics
Dear God,
Please hear our prayer.
Stop the terror.
Stop our fear.
End the hatred.
End the fight.

This we pray, Lord.

End all suffering.
Grant us love eternally.
Grant us your strength,
and joy,
and peace.

Hallelujah.

Spanish Translation by Ida Sánchez Tello
Señor, 
escucha nuestra oración
detén el terror
detén nuestros miedos
termina el odio
termina los pleitos

te lo pedimos Señor

termina todo sufrimiento
otórganos amor eternamente
otórganos fuerza, alegría y paz
Aleluya

Brazilian Portuguese translation by Haydee Aguilar
Deus,
Escute nossa oração.
Pare o terror.
Pare nosso medo.
Termine com o ódio
Termine com as brigas.

Isso te pedimos, Deus.

Termine com todo o sofrimento.
Nos dê amor eternamente.
Nos dê a sua força,
E alegria
E paz

Aleluia
