Info for The Incident

Is this Vangelis, Jarre or Yello? No. Electronic crossover? Somehow. Is this Klangwelt? Definitely! „The Incident“ is something special, because on his fourth album Gerald Arend aka Klangwelt creates a blend of extraordinary elements and selected sounds to produce an unusual and captivating opus.

Soft and warm harmonies meet technical sounds, dreamy melodies meet bizarre tone patterns. Accentuated beats and sequences, sometimes minimalistic and sometimes powerful, cosmic spheres and speech quotes are arranged into exciting compositions, accompanied by bizarre and sometimes excentric sound creations and strange vocal samples. The atmospherically flowing tracks play with feelings of wellness and threat that arouse tension and power, but also let the listener calm down again in the next moment. Dreamy atmospheres are interwoven by decent discords, strange parts are enriched by harmonic elements, traditional sounds are combined with innovative sound experiments. A fantastic, excellently produced journey of sound, full of charming contrasts.
