INMITTEN REWORKS
Artwork: Elvira Akzigitova
REWORKS I
Flageolets - Ben Lukas Boysen Rework
Ben’s music has long been very close to me and an inspiration, especially for my spatial music concepts. There is this delicate sense of space, form and timbre in his music that makes it immersive, regardless of the medium or genre.
Ben was also one of the first people that I played my Spatial Guitar album to, when I was still in the late stages of mixing, and we soon started talking about a rework. I always felt that our sounds would compliment each other. To now listen to his rework makes me very happy.
I love how he transforms ‘Flagolets‘, how he hijacks its initial form into this perpetuum melody that eventually dissolves into an endless sea of modulating waves.
REWORKS II
Bridged Circles - Andy Aquarius Rework
Andy is one of my closest musical collaborators and a dear friend. We’ve shared the stage many times, worked on two soundtracks together, contributed to each other’s solo releases and provide a second pair of ears when working on new material. In that sense, Andy was already involved during the making of „Inmitten“ and knew the album inside out even before the release.
So naturally, when I started thinking about reworks, I was thinking about a harp rework by Andy and I am glad he accepted and picked one of the core pieces of the album: Bridged Circles.
His approach to this rework is as unique as it is poetic, in huge parts replacing everything but the original reverb tails until the centre part, when harp and guitar enter into an interwoven duet.
While listening to this rework for the first time, I didn't even recognise my own guitar playing at that point, as I was so mesmerised by the harp pattens and additional melodies.
REWORKS III
Triols - Robot Koch Rework
The creation of immersive musical experiences and the ongoing exploration of embodied listening are the common grounds on which our musical worlds meet.
In that sense Robert’s work has long been an inspiration for me. Particularly in how he continually pushes the boundaries in finding new forms to present his immersive experiences and to create auditory experiences for the audience.
Our musical approaches to immersive music come from different directions, but seem to compliment each other perfectly, and I imagined early on in the process of finishing the album how his expansive and beautiful soundscapes and delicate textures would interact with my minimalist spatial compositions.
