This year's Nachtdigital record follows the path we started to explore in 2017: To combine artists who are close to us, each given the specific task to tell a story in up to 24 minutes (which is pretty much the maximum you can press on one side of a vinyl record) - with complete artistic freedom. And we are more than happy with the contributions we received:

KANN went for a decidedly collaborative effort, gathering bits and pieces from the label's core artists and glueing them together for one big, cohesive narrative. The result is somewhat experimental but also typically KANN in its sound and character: Intimate and homely but also dancy and energetic.

Johanna Knutsson turned in a long Ambient piece that feels like talking a walk with her through summery fields and meadows. It's Johanna's first proper Ambient release and quite the perfect fit since she will also give her live debut on Nachtdigital's much-loved Ambient stage this year.

Vai follows on side C: He is a longstanding member of the Nachtdigital crew and has been writing and producing the music for our traditional opening performance for many years. One of the most versatile and yet-to-be-discovered producers in our sphere, this elaborative piece hopefully also is just a teaser of what's to come in the future.

Side D belongs to the most odd contribution we got: Poet Manuel Stallbaumer and music "professor" Stefan Schmidt-Dichte (also known as Perm) brought their individual talents to the table and created a remarkable piece of listening pleasure - a weird, baffling fusion of poetry and sound that is definitely worth diving into.

The record comes in form of a double vinyl LP with fancy gatefold cover and artwork by bus.group. As always, the release will first be available at the festival and in a handful of carefully selected record stores thereafter - as well as at the Nachtdigital webshop.
The total playtime of the record is almost 90 minutes so it really is the perfect companion for a nice walk through the park, cooking with friends or taking an evening off on the couch.
