REKORDER is a manifestation of this typical @mrux sound.
Similar to his concept album "Vermonische Melodien" from 2020 (on the Pingipung label), the artist's curiosity is directed towards the musical visions of the past. When new music technology projected great visions of the future and when new sounds had not yet solidified into clichés. REKORDER refers to the recording device, spelled in a German way, because most of the recordings were made in Germany (and in England as well).
Phonography is a miracle that has only been around for 150 years: Technology gifts upon us prosthetics for remembering sound. Every recording is a process, and every playback a new performative act. Recordari (Latin) is a beautiful word. It literally means to take something to heart (cor) once again (re-). This doesn't just refer to remembering, but also to a ponderous, loving, sometimes doubtful contemplation.
It is a perfect headline for M.RUX’ approach to processing sound.

The piano resonates in the bluesy tone. A reverberating choir announces what lies ahead: a catharsis of piano and strings leading us into the electronic abyss of modernity. It is a purification, a redemption that unfolds. "The Promise" almost fulfills this pledge. Yet, it takes us on a journey oscillating between the traditional and modern electronic realms.
