Release date: 12th September 2022

Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

Roth prefers to describe the album as minimalistic rather than ambient with each track stripped back to create space for one leading sound, instrument or melody. This results in an immersive listening experience, and instead of being pulled in multiple directions, we’re gently led to wherever Roth wants us to go.

This skill reflects the depth and breadth of Roth’s production experience. He learnt piano from a young age and bought his first synthesizer in his late teens. Around the same time he dived headfirst into Frankfurt’s underground, spending his weekends submerged in the sounds and selections of Sven Väth and Culture Beat’s Torsten Fenslau at institutions like Omen and Dorian Gray. When Roth began playing local clubs, Frankfurt’s melancholic influence impacted his music and has remained ever since, regardless which genre he’s turned his hand to.

‘Mono No Aware’ is the second album released on Reflections, and is a further exploration of Roth’s analog past. Martin released his first low-tempo LP ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’ in 2020 and says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which translates to ‘an awareness that everything fades away.’

Roth’s ambition for ‘Mono No Aware’ is that it touches the listener in the same way his first album did. “When I released An Analog Guy In A Digital World, suddenly I received messages from people all over the world,” Roth says. “They were long, heartfelt, heartbreaking messages, about how a certain track supported them through the hardest moments of their lives. The people who write these messages have no idea how much they are supporting me, so I hope the music on Mono No Aware touches people in the same way.”

Mono No Aware is out now on Reflections.

Lyrics:

I’d run the risk of losing everything
Sell all my things, become nomadic
I’d run the risk, and just in case I might
Sell all my things and become the night

Oh it’s hard to believe
It’s even
Irrational for me
I’m cynical, a mess
I’m touch-starved and shameless
Mmm

But I’d rather be alone than a stranger
You’d come visit me late at night
I’d rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time

I’d run the risk of losing everyone
I’d sail and say my phone was overboard
I’d run the risk and just in case I might
Take a ship around the world to find

Oh where you hid the key
It’s even
Irrational for me
It’s chemical, obsessed
I blame you for locking me in
Mmm

But I’d rather be alone than a stranger
You’d come visit me late at night
I’d rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time

It’s always the same
Always the same
Every time I see someone new
I just think of you
Nothing I do 
Can help me now
Guess I’ll have to find

That I’d rather be alone than a stranger
You’d come visit me late at night
I’d rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time

It was a dream this time
It was a dream this time

Nomad

Her - The American Dawn (official)

So Khruangbin are my favourite band and this, to me, is the best song of the past decade, it just sends shivers down my spine and gives me goosebumps each and every time! I had to give it the DKODA treatment. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it, which was a lot 😂🫡
