Info zu Trance

Trance is Meredi's second album. The songs are about the longing for the here and now. The longing to lose oneself, to let oneself fall. "I always wanted to create the feeling of release" say's the Berlin composer, producer and pianist. Sometimes one tone can open worlds. One idea runs through 7 pieces. The piano is accompanied by strings and synthesizers. It is the longing for the here and now. The longing to lose oneself, to let oneself fall and to forget the time. The music is about a felt never ending line moving upwards.

“Trance is at once deeply personal and fiercely universal, a state within the self that can also be collectively attained and shared,” says Berlin composer and pianist Meredi, who named her latest album Trance inspired by the immersive experience she would feel in her city’s famed – now faded – nightclubs. “I’m inspired by the intensity and power of the music in techno raves and I wanted to express it in my own words in this album.”

“The pieces are about the longing for the here and now. The longing to lose oneself, to let go and to forget time,” says Meredi of the album. The track’s titles each tell of a specific part in the process of letting go, referencing mostly club contexts. This Friday, the composer and pianist will share with us the first single: the album opener "Welcome Home".
