We are both very pleased to introduce Johannes Brecht to the Siamese family! A highly talented, trained and decorated musician is a fair description of Johannes and we’re proud to call him a friend and sometimes even a mentor.
This record has been in the works for a long time and since all of us wanted to have this EP out on vinyl too it took some time to get everything in place. As expected the three originals show a wide array of Johannes Brecht's world of electronic music.
'Voicing Something' dives deep into what it means to be a conscious being. "Tell me this do you believe that you are strong enough to be a better man, a better breed, a better kind of company so take a stand before you leap and breathe.“ Your dreams and fears are guiding you while you figure out the puzzle of life.
Adriatique’s Remix of 'Voicing Something' almost appears like a dub version of the original although it wasn’t a full vocal version. The chorus from the original, 'We live and die trying I saw I light revive me‘, gets a prominent placement in this remix.
Next we have the beautiful ‚Orca‘, an exciting and complex dance track that sucks you deep into an ocean of carefully chosen and crafted sounds which sound like nothing you have heard before.
Closing the release is 'Astral Travelling‘, first heard as the stellar beginning of Adriatique’s art.set at for ARTE concert at the renowned Fondation Beyeler. The name resembles perfectly what the title suggests; a journey deep into time and space carried by human emotions and translated into music.
And this is what Johannes is all about; creating something with love and passion rather than staying on safe ground.
