Two experienced musicians combine efforts to produce an album of original music very much inspired by TANGERINE DREAM, Klaus Schulze & Vangelis!
‘The Reflecting Sky’ consists of three epic tracks that weave a powerful, sequencer-laden journey packed with sonic delights that will have fans of traditional “Berlin School” Electronic Music, as well as fans of the two musicians in raptures.
The music on ‘The Reflecting Sky’ stems from a series of improvised sessions at David Wright’s Suffolk studio between 2017 and 2019, recorded during studio ‘down time’, when Stephan was staying in the area preparing for CODE INDIGO concert rehearsals. During that time the duo laid the foundations for four distinctly different tracks, however, it wasn’t until early 2020 and the time afforded by the Covid-19 lockdown, that they went back to the music. After four months of painstaking editing and arranging, the result, we think you will agree, is a fascinating blend of musical styles - a metamorphosis into something unique.
The 11 tracks on ‘The Reflecting Sky’ are in fact 4 long pieces, each displaying a creative and imaginative blend of sequences, rhythms and atmospherics that create a soundscape to take the listener on a mind-blowing cosmic journey. While the duo clearly pays a passing nod to the more established luminaries of the genre, this album is an original and sophisticated slice of electronic music, clearly reflecting the musical vision and expertise of both artists at the peak of their creative prowess and clearly enjoying the collaboration.
‘The Reflecting Sky’ comes with an 8-Page Booklet.
‘The Reflecting Sky’ is released on 31st July 2020.
