a statement on the fragile beauty in every moment. marsen jules releases his concept album shadows in time end of may 2016 on oktaf records/ kompakt. the generative composition is released as static cd version and in more than 300 variations on usb flash drives and vinyl pressings in a limited edition.

exakt zehn jahre nach seinem debüt-album herbstlaub auf cco entführt uns der deutsche ambient-musiker marsen jules in sein reich der stille. mit the empire of silence liefert der klang-poet einen beeindruckenden soundtrack zur epochalen gewalt und anmut nordischer schnee- und eislandschaften. dabei klingt er so elegisch, warm und romantisch wie schon lange nicht mehr. dies mag mitunter auch einer strikten reduktion auf bittersüsse streicherklänge geschuldet sein.

marsen jules bridges the time with the release of a conceptual mini album on his own oktaf records.

lufths >distanz und naehe< on oktaf records accompanies the return of german experimental-dubtech and electronica producer joerg schuster

a poetic approach to music, live and sound itself.

there is not much artists who have such an important influence on todays ambient music as the outstanding piano player and composer harold budd. albums like his clasical pavilion of dreams or his cooperations with brian eno like the pearl are well know to many electronic and ambient musicians of the last decades. especially fellow musicians martin juhls (aka marsen jules) and rafael anton irisarri (aka the sight below) were often talking about the influence that harold budds music had on them, and how much respect and admiration they had for him and his work.

after providing the highly sucessfull opening track for kompakts recent >pop ambient 2010< compilation, marsen jules now unleashes an album in the same vein of warm, shimmering ambient sounscapes. >yara<, one of his most important albums to date, will now be made available on cd for the first time.
