KALE ME, il primo estratto dall’album ETERNAL SOMETHING, da qui:
Daniel riguardo la
curiosa registrazione del brano KALE ME (si parla di lavatrici...):
ho iniziato a registrare KALE ME nel mio studio casalingo quando
ad un certo punto la lavatrice in bagno è impazzita. Suonava come un gigantesco
rave rotto. Ho immediatamente fatto uns et up di microfoni e ho registrato il
ciclo completo della lavatrice e poi l’ho inserita nel brano. La lavatrice ha
finito proprio in tempo per registrarla e dopo non ha mai più fatto quei suoni.
Sono stato parecchio fortunato devo dire! – Daniel
Brandt
What started off as a
more simplistic idea soon evolved into something a lot more complex as the
London and Berlin based music producer travelled across the world,
experimenting with various other artists and different instruments. From his
father’s cabin based in the German countryside with access to nothing but
cymbals, to being surrounded by guitars in Joshua Tree, his unexpected journey
soon progressed into what became his first solo album.
Daniel played
nearly all instruments himself with the only exception being fellow musicians Florian Juncker on trombone, Manu
Delago on hang drum and Andreas Voss on cello. Using his Berlin studio as his main base for
recording, Brandt created an album
that encapsulates the idea that despite setting out with a particular creative
vision, external influences and environments will always shift the process, and
create an Eternal Something.
Words from Daniel, January 2017:
“The initial idea was to make a cymbal album. I wanted to surround myself with all types of cymbals. I locked myself into my father’s cabin in the woods
for three days. That was the moment I realised it was not possible for
me to make an album just with cymbals because other ideas and instruments
imposed themselves on me. I had a clear sense of what I wanted to do now. The
intention was to let the songs evolve by themselves and not edit too much, keep
it raw and have an explosion-like energy to them. I wanted to create a
different sound, songs that build up like dance tunes but don't feel like club
music at all. Travelling around in California for two months gave me the
possibility to deeply get into this concept outside my normal environment.
Robert Raths, who served as a great motivator throughout the whole process (I
guess he had listened to the record more than I ever had) came up with the
perfect order for the songs. This record is about failing to make the original
plan happen, but then the discovery of something I couldn't even think of
before.”
Prior to being enlisted to create the album
artwork, Iranian artist Shaz Madani coincidentally had also planned a trip to
Joshua Tree where she documented her own experience of Eternal Something, forming the visual counterpart to the record.
