ZEITFREI | Matthias Engelke<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n In the album ZEITFREI the mesmerizing timbre of the classical soprano voice of Maraile Lichdi interweaves with an acoustic and electronic world of sound. The songs are characterized by the concept of the ambivalence of the temporal in music. In the lyrical, sketch-like texts, always vague and associative, the topics of transience, vanity, disorientation, loss of control, alienation, farewell, sorrow and finally the invincibility of time but also the resilience of man, are reflected in polarising musical levels. These poles are represented in the unstoppable and directed passages of time, to be heard on the one hand in melodies and melodic fragments and on the other in repetitive and ecstatic sound fields. The inescapability of time is thereby confronted with the ancient desire of man, the utopian ideal of overcoming finiteness by overcoming time itself. The dream to be, and to stay, free of time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tracklist:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 01 | Ariadne <\/p>\n 13 Tracks (79\u203221\u2033) <\/p>\n CD contains: <\/p>\n Sound Art Series by Gruenrekorder <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guillermo Escudero | Loop<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nMatthias Engelke is a German composer and sound artist who has been composing music for contemporary dance theater and theater productions since 2001. In 2021 he released his album \u201cResonant Dowland\u201d and in 2022 \u201cZeitfrei\u201d, belonging to the series Sound Art of the German label Gruenrekorder.
\nParticipating in this album is the German soprano Maraile Lichdi, who has been working as an independent opera, concert and lieder singer since 2009. Her repertoire includes almost 40 opera roles and more than 40 concert and oratorio works. Helmut Engelke plays violin and viola, Ulrike M\u00e4ding-Lemmerich, plays violin and Matthias Engelke is in charge of the music composition, lyrics, piano and electronics.
\nMatthias Engelke’s work has been focused on the interaction between his composition and analog electronic instruments, as well as how the latter are positioned in the spatiality of a theater.
\n\u201cZeitfrei\u201d (Free Time) of 13 compositions of electronic music and modern contemporary music, where Maraile Lichdi’s high-pitched and solemn voice is intertwined, for example, between the heavy electro beats of \u201cRuhe im Schatten\u201d, the minimalist textures of \u201cZeit versetzt\u201d and the classical string arrangements on \u201cDie Farben der Leere\u201d. \u201cMinotaur\u201d astounds for its twisted electronic sounds and heavy beats. Whereas, \u201cSisyphos\u201d shows how the notes of the violin and viola interaction with the subtle beats, giving way to Maraile Lichdi\u2019s voice to the top, creating a playful atmosphere that fits very well in the theatrical context.
\nMatthias Engelke explores the interaction of electronics with the theatrical field and the spatiality of the escenarios, allowing to take the listener to a playful world, with possible stories that are moved by their sorrow, as well as the capacity to overcome it.
