Об исполнителе (группе)

Changing Images - немецкий электронно-симфо-классический дуэт в составе синтезаторщика Martin Kornberger и гитариста Volker Kuhn. Этот первый CD-альбом (полностью инструментальный) был реализован во Франции на Musea. А работать вместе музыканты стали ещё в 1979 году, выпустили несколько магнито-альбомов. Мартин - пианист с классическим образованием. Фолкер - гитарист, играющий в традициях Роберта Фриппа и Брайана Ино, т.е. экспрессивная гитара в эмбиентно-минималистической атмосфере. Оба музыканта дополняют друг друга. The Castle - концептуальный альбом о прогулке по замку. Для каждой комнаты или места - различное музыкальное окружение.

Об альбоме (сборнике)

Hey, fans of Edhels, Jean Pascal Boffo, and even Djam Karet and The Enid! This is the music for you, please be sure in it! Stylistically, The Castle is a unique blend of several genres, including Classic Art (Symphonic) Rock, modern Electronic Progressive, and... Neo-Classics! Structurally, this is quite serious music with really complex arrangements and fine interplays between guitars and keyboards. Finally, this all instrumental album was released on Musea Records, and I love Musea... Check it out immediately (if you could find it, though).
(progressor)
Old castles I always found fascinating. Visiting some of the castles in England, France (e.g. in the Loire-region: Azay-le-rideau, Chambord, Chenonceau ) or Germany, one gets somehow the feeling of a time-warp back into the Middle Ages. Then I try to imagine, what probably may have happened in the rooms long time ago; how the inhabitants lived at that time, which stories and tragedies are connected with single objects or rooms that became a legend long time ago. Often one can settle a remarkable feeling, an atmosphere, that a room with its arrangement emanates and which was ?stored? for centuries. That was the base of our conceptalbum - the Imagination of atmospheres.
Clearly, that at the beginning of many tracks soundeffects play a role, wherefrom the music develops. Classical - like structures have been inserted as well as elements of acoustic instruments because they match stilistic to the concept from our point of view. The so emerged instrumental music can be described perhaps - but complicated as well - as a symbiosis out of symphonic-rock, electronic- and minimal music with classical and ambient touch. Or just a sort of a movie-soundtrack. We are aware that we sit rather between all chairs beyond mainstream - or better: On all chairs? Finally, The Castle was a conceptual project with a somewhat holistic aspect.
