MARTIN HERZBERG – SAILS DECTO REWORK

In den letzten Jahren war ich immer wieder mit Momenten großer Unsicherheit konfrontiert. Große Entscheidungen musste gefällt werden. Wo und wie möchte ich in Zukunft leben? Single oder Beziehung? Karriere oder Besinnlichkeit. Egal für welchen Weg man sich entscheiden, es bleibt eine Reise ins Ungewisse.

Die “Sails” Reworks besingen die Zuversicht, mit der wir uns durch nebelige Zeiten bewegen. Ein Stück über Vertrauen, auch in Momenten in denen wir nicht nach den Sternen navigieren zu können. Wenn die Sicht getrübt ist, weil unser Schiff durch diese Nebelwand gleitet und wir nicht wissen wo der Wind uns hinträgt. Wenn ein Sturm uns packt und wir uns in starken Wogen an die Brüstung klammern. Nicht wissend ob der morgige Tag uns wieder Sonnenlicht schenkt.
Doch es herrscht keine Panik an Bord. Denn wir bewegen uns aus eigener Kraft und wissen, der Sturm wird abebben. Auf den Nebel folgt die Klarheit. Freie Sicht für den Rest unseres Weges und ein bestärkendes, erfüllendes Gefühl ergreift uns, wenn sich unsere Segel in ihrer vollen Pracht zurück in den Wind setzen und unser Schiff wieder Fahrt aufnimmt.

MARTIN HERZBERG – SAILS DECTO REWORK (ENGLISH)

The „Sails“ Reworks want to enforce the confidence with which we go through foggy times. A piece of trust, also in those moments when we cannot navigate by the stars. When the view becomes murky, because our ship glides through this fog and we do not know where the wind is taking us. When the storm assails us and we hold on to the gunwale in strong waves, unaware if the morning sunlight will touch us again.

However, no panic reigns on board, since our movement comes from our own strength and we know that the storm will calm down. After the fog a clear view follows and for the rest of our way and an encouraging, deeply rewarding feeling grows that catches us when our sail goes back in the wind in all its magnificence and our ship eventually picks up speed again.

Martin Herzberg (ENGLISH)

Martin Herzberg, pianist and song writer, is moving with his music in a new direction. Instead of a record company he simply has his good friends, his piano and the internet. Martin says he has become known through "the right decisions, for the right people".

Martin studied musicology in his hometown Berlin and afterwards started to tour Germany passionately since 2012. He hired a good friend as concert manager and is accompanied by cello and lately his own string ensemble. With his camera man, a childhood friend, he shoots music videos that just capture the heart. 10 years down the line he has 25 million views on YouTube, and over 100.000 Facebook/Instagram fans and is capable of filling concert halls throughout Germany, Austria and Switzlerland. And still: his best friends are with him on the road.

Martin’s music touches your soul and allows you to escape in contemplation. He has been influenced by composers such as Ludovico Einaudi and Yann Tiersen, inspiring him with their soundtracks to „The intouchables“ and „ The fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain “, creating a wide audience for this special kind of the piano music. Martin introduces his personal touch and unites stirring soundtracks with vivid pop elements. This is why Martin's music doesn’t need a film to move you as the music itself is like the soundtrack to your own life.

Martin Herzberg (GERMAN)

Martin macht bewegende Klaviermusik zum Davonträumen, Nachdenken und sich Dahintreiben lassen. Beeinflusst wurde er von Komponisten wie Ludovico Einaudi oder Yann Tiersen, die mit ihrer Filmmusik zu „Ziemlich Beste Freunde“ und „Die Fabelhafte Welt der Amelie“ ein breites Publikum für diese besondere Art der Klaviermusik begeistern konnten. Martin kreiert seine ganz eigene Note, indem bewegende Piano-New Classic mit eingängig-emotionalen Motiven verschmilzt. Deutscher Gesang mit selbstgeschrieben Texten erweitert sein Klavier-Repertoire. Die Herzberg-Musik braucht keinen Film, um zu berühren. Sie klingt wie der Soundtrack zum eigenen Leben.

Bekannt wurde Martin Herzberg durch „die richtigen Entscheidungen für die richtigen Menschen“, wie er sagt. Er studierte Musikwissenschaft in Berlin und promovierte zum Thema „Musiker im Wettbewerb um Aufmerksamkeit im Internet“. Anschließend setzte er das Gelernte in die Tat um. Mithilfe seiner besten Freunde und Kollegen entwickelte er Ideen, um seine Musik auf die Bühnen dieser Welt zu bringen. Er engagierte eine Konzertmanagerin und lässt sich bis heute von befreundeten Gastmusikern unterstützen. Zusammen mit seinem Buddelkastenfreund und Kameramann dreht Martin Musikvideos, die ins Herz gehen. Nach wenigen Jahren hat er bereits über 20 Millionen Plays auf YouTube, über 100.000 Facebook-, Instagram- und Youtubefollower und die Möglichkeit, in ganz Deutschland Konzertsäle zu füllen.

Die Reise geht weiter und weiter: Mittlerweile gibt es zwei Tourneen pro Jahr, die immer auch unsere Nachbarländer Österreich und die Schweiz einschließen. 2020 hat er zudem sein fünftes Album „Stars“ veröffentlicht, das in den Babelsberg-Studios mit komplettem Streicher-Ensemble aufgenommen wurde. Nachdem nun feststeht, dass alle geplanten Konzerte im Jahr 2020 nicht stattfinden, sollen diese ab Herbst 2021 an bessonder schönen Orten zelebriert werden. Ein absolutes Highlight sind Konzerte in der Philharmonie Berlin, der Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, oder der Liederhalle in Stuttgart. Mit dabei sind weiterhin all jene, die Martin von Anfang an begleitet haben. Diese traumhaften Bedingungen an traumhaften Orten lassen die Herzberg-Musik auch lange nach dem Konzertende noch weiterklingen.

Mythos – Bonum Et Malum (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“-Bonum Et Malum- combines unique tools and techniques peculiar to the genre of New Age. Soft, soothing tempo, hypnotic, ethereal beauty of the melody. -Mythos- Music for relaxation and meditation to calm your soul.”

“-Bonum Et Malum- сочетает в себе уникальные инструменты и приёмы свойственные жанру New Age. Плавный, умиротворяющий темп, гипнотическая, неземной красоты мелодия. Музыка -Mythos- это релакс и медитация для успокоения вашей души.”

-Nagamag.com

Mythos has been creating timeless, ethereal music fusing electronic beats with vocalese, piano, acoustic guitar, synths and sounds from around the world. 2021 marks the 25th Anniversary for the duo of Bob D’Eith (producer and piano) and Paul Schmidt (acoustic guitar). This year we are pleased to release “XXV” a 14-track album including 5 new tracks and 9 fully remastered classics. “Bonum et Malum”, the third single, explores the dichotomy between good and evil, sadness and joy.

https://www.facebook.com/mythosmusic/

Mythos enjoys a very dedicated international fan base with over 2 million streams per year.

Mythos can be described as ethereal, ambient instrumental music focusing on acoustic guitar, piano and vocal melodies. Added to this mix are hypnotic electronic beats, orchestral arrangements and world instrument flavors. Mythos has always had the goal of creating music without borders; creating a blend of sounds from all over the planet.

​Mythos has had a very successful and colorful history. Nearly 25 years ago, Bob D’Eith (piano) and Paul Schmidt (guitar) decided to create some music with the idea of composing for film and television. As the partners worked together and brought in other performers, they realized that there was something special about the music. The music stood on its own. Mythos was born.

“Introspection” was the bands first independent release. With the unexpected commercial radio success of “November”, CDs sold in the thousands. That record won a West Coast Music Award and was nominated for a JUNO Award in 1997. The artist secured a number of television placements including the show “Due South”. The album was released in the USA on the boutique San Francisco label XDOT25.

The follow-up album release for “Iridescence,” was happily interrupted when XDOT25 was able to secure a deal for Mythos with Higher Octave/Virgin/EMI in Malibu, California. The addition of Gil Bruvel’s stunning artwork to a re-release of the best of the first two albums led to the release of “Mythos” in 1998. This record was a huge success, eventually selling over 50,000 CDs and charting on Billboard Magazine’s New Age chart for eight months.

Riding on the wave of Mythos’ success, Higher Octave went on to release “Reality of a Dreamer” (2000) and “Eternity” (2002), both of which charted in Billboard for months on end. One of the highlights was the featuring of Mythos music in the 2000 Victoria’s Secret runway show in Cannes, France. At the time, this was the largest streaming event ever seen on the internet. “Eternity” won a Western Canadian Music Award for Best Instrumental Artist in 2003.

With the explosion of downloading and the merger of major labels internationally, Mythos became independent again in 2005. This did not stop the artist who released “Purity” in 2006 on Pacific Music/Warner (Canada) and Alula (Allegro USA).

In 2010, Bob decided that it was time to start working on new material. The first effort was to re-mix a favorite track that never made major label release. “Rain” was released as a single in that year.

Over the next two years, Bob and Paul worked on new material and in late 2012 were able to get together to record a new album. Joined by new guest artist Mother Mother’s Jasmin Parkin, “Journey” is an album that reflects both where Mythos has been and where it is going. On April 30 2013, Mythos “Journey” was released to a patient and loyal fan base.

​Mythos was very proud to released the EP "Eros" in late 2018 and will be releasing a 25th Anniversary Album "XXV" in March 2021. First single "Legacy" is out now.

He played in many different bands of different styles of music, e.g. pop, indie, punk, grunge and much more. Nevertheless he now and then needed time for himself to calm down and relax all by himself in the studio. That was the first slight hint of his future project SINE.

In 1997 he and his brother Jochen Hauser founded the production company COSMIC SOUND having their own studio and being music publisher. Many CDs of many different genres have been recorded and published there. Thomas Hauser also worked on other chillout projects which have been released on various labels. By now Thomas Hauser can look back on over 100% releases.

The first release was the EP “CROSS THAT LINE” that caused a real stir in the chillout and ambient scene. Some songs of this EP have been played in radio stations all over the world and reached many of the genre’s relevant charts.

A very multifaceted album presenting SINE songs of the last two years. The blue colour of the oceans is the colour of calming down and relaxation for SINE

Son Lux — “A Different Kind of Love” (Official Visualizer) (Video)

Categories: Electronica, Electronica Features, Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“”A Different Kind of Love” by Son Lux steps into diversity with not afraid to improvise into new sound design styles, out of the basic vocal trends. Deep heartwarming vocals with a deep artistic sound design which pushes out your hidden emotions and satisfy your listening needs. High quality here! ”

-Nagamag.com

Much has been said about the scope and intent of Son Lux’s multi-album Tomorrows project. Born of an active, intentional approach to shaping sound, the music reminds us of the necessity of questioning assumptions, and of sitting with the tension.

Today they announce the arrival of Tomorrows III, set for an April 16th release via City Slang. Bell tolls of a detuned guitar clang out a warning at the start of “A Different Kind of Love”, the new single out today. Thick punches of percussion enter and the song moves in heaves through a foggy atmosphere of sound. Instruments remain mostly out of focus, but in brief moments, flurries of strings and woodwinds emerge and recede from the fog.

The music encompassed on Tomorrows provides an appropriate parallel for the sustained cacophony of the present moment, advancing a friction that reveals the strange in the familiar and the familiar in the strange. The deluxe physical edition of the Tomorrows series will be released July 30th on City Slang.

“Judging from the title you may expect a simple sound mix, but the truth is very different! After a soft intro there's a blast of breaking loops that follow each other in electronic madness. Discover the rare talent of ill-esha via "Simplicity"!”

-Nagamag.com

Joining forces for their first collaborative effort, K+Lab and ill-esha unleash sublime two-track EP, Simplications. The project finds the two distinctive keytar-wielding artists come full circle to their drum & bass origins as they now put their creative synergy to work in a boundless and experimental release.

Rattling sound design and slithering sonics paves the groundwork for “Complications,” which weaves syrupy vocals over intricate layers. Counterpart “Simplicity” also employs a similar frenzy of syncopated rhythms for its halftime structure, witnessing ill-esha & K+Lab come together for a dreamy, cacophonous paradox.

Fanlink: https://wstwd.io/simplications

New Zealand-born master of intergalactic funk, K+Lab has been rocking dance floors and bringing the beats to the masses with his signature keytar in hand. K+Lab's sound draws from a seemingly endless array of influences from soul to jazz, hip hop to drum n’ bass, glitch to G funk—all tied together by an orbital pull of all things funky. His incredible live performances are unlike anything else occupying the sonic landscape today and have seen him conquer dancefloors across the globe with unmatched energy.
