Karl Thesing: AGITE CD

$17.99
Description
This brand new signing on Accession is quite unusual for the label: A trio of chamber music of outstanding (pop) quality! The collaboration of the 3 artists involved started last year as part of the collaboration for the soundtrack to the movie "Vive la Mort" by Thomas Welte. At the first screening of the film, the idea arose that a film score should be the foundation for "agité".
Composer and Piano-player Thesing: "The goal is to give the listener the impression that he is right in the room of the recording." The foundation of the music consists of the uniqueness of the 3 players on their respective instruments, as well as the composition & production. The 11 pieces are comprised of parts from compositions up to five years old, which the composer could never finish or find the necessary framework for. In addition, there were new compositions, inspired by the collaboration with Sophie & Ella. The 3 artists left their home Cologne to record the pieces in Saxon, in the Swiss alps. They chose the studio because of the possibility of recording the works almost completely analog. In addition, the studio has a wonderful Bösendorfer grand piano from the 19th century. This instrument was one of the reasons why there was no way of passing up this studio. The chamber trio is composed by Karl Thesing - compososer & Piano, Sophie Moser - Violin & additional Piano (she has a classical background but plays also a lot of pop and crossover. With her will to experiment, she has a very expressive feel that adds a special note to the compositions.) and Ella Rohwer – Cello (Also she has a classical background but plays also a lot of crossover and contemporary. Her musical empathy is outstanding and she adds a lot of the emotional depth to the music.)

Released mid-September 2017 on Accession Records.
