Klangkuenstler & Shemian

GLUECKS EP

Kallias Records / KAL011

The secret of luck lays not in property, but in giving. Therefore Klangkuenstler and Shemian are releasing their first EP on Kallias which is at the same time the first in 2013. The >Gluecks EP< spreads this feeling through a successful conception of ist four tracks. The jointly produced >Spiel mir das Lied vom Glueck< initiates this in a wonderful way. Through playful chimes and mellow organ sounds paired with melancholic strings it let sunny feelings come up even in cold winter days. The remix of Geschwister Schuhmann is an outstanding and yet completely different interpretation, with its dreamy vocals, nestled in a warm and spherical soundshell created by the interplay of gentle organ sounds with synths, strings and mallet percussions. With >Einhornallee< the b-side starts with a driving pumping groove and a hard syntheziser line dissolved by gentle chimes. >Welttraum< fascinates because of an dramatic arrangement supported by extremely tense strings and fullfills it with a catchy xylophon melody.
