Direct successor to ‘Staub’, his 2014 studio album that found critical acclaim bringing new impulses to the ancient art of “Berlin School” sequencer musik!

While Wolfram Spyra’s ‘Staub’ was severely reduced to the maxim of minimalist sequences, recorded as one shot studio sessions without any overdubs, ‘Dunst’ welcomes the listener with a more lush arrangement of analogue sound-spheres, combined with deep drones and slow beats! Spyra even allows himself again to partly spoil his audiences’ ears with Solina strings, cosmic noises and solo synth melodies, but he is not denying the underlying principle, that the flow of such music cannot be fully composed, but can only develop within the inherent process of playing it … while being played by it!

“Why are Klaus Schulze’s and TANGERINE DREAM’s albums from the 70’s so outstanding, so unique and groundbreaking, also for nowadays’ producers and fans of Electronic Music?” Spyra asks, and without hesitating, comes out with his own explanation: “ …it is mainly because they allowed themselves to float and drift within their self-created ocean of sound! - No matter if they played live or in the studio, their most epic pieces seem to be born, growing and maturing nearly effortlessly over time, like a beautiful garden of sound growing on a gigantic barge, which is drifting down an endless river… ”

As we all know, Spyra doesn’t simply try to copy 70’s style EM; he has continuously worked on and developed his own unique style, so it might rather sound as an understatement, when he continues “… in order to create your own a sonic garden, you shouldn’t try acting God, but rather try and become a mere gardener: Throw out your seeds in the right places, water and cultivate your saplings, watch them grow, and only every now and then cut some branch or pluck out some bad weeds. You must train in self-composure in order to become a good composer (of EM)!”

So, if you appreciate electronic music from the 70’s, but are willing to accept that time has moved onward since then, you might quite likely feel attracted to Spyra’s newest album: ‘Dunst’, which offers you a similar flow, but at the same time an elegant, cool and modern approach hardly to be found anywhere else on this planet!

‘Dunst’ was released on 20th October 2018.
