Very glad to present my new 2 CD album "Für Immer" - mental electroacoustics featuring virtuoso instrumentalists on the vibraphone, trumpet (electric) violin.

Artist: Morgen Wurde
Album: Für Immer
Format: 2 CD (originals + remixes), digital

Style: cinematic ambient, modern classical / remixes: techno, bass
Cover artwork by Lawrence English (Room40)
After appearances on the Pop Ambient 2019 and 2020 compilations on Kompakt Records, Morgen Wurde and his musical allies move on to score the unfathomable wonder of the Dasein. "Für Immer" is a further breakthrough to the core, emanating sounds which let dissolve all conceivable questions of man about life and death. Sounds that let all questions appear negligibly.
The immersive finds are channelled into ambient/space/drone music hybrids with neoclassical and jazz noir elements, sometimes crossing paths with messengers of transcendental sounds like Abul Mogard, bvdub, Fennesz, Gas, Rafael Anton Irisarri or Tim Hecker.
The elevating experience happens in Morgen Wurde's electroacoustic spaces, hosting singular virtuoso instrumentalists. Creating the "Morgen Wurde" form of lyricism and haunting soundscapes, this collaborative exploration takes space music to new highs.
There are the stoically undulating sound masses, like the ambivalence of the awe-inspiring mysterious forces of nature, sometimes majestic, sometimes threatening. And there are the soloists, wandering through these sonic landscapes as masters of their art.

Presenting my collaborators:
Comrade-in-arms David Strother from Los Angeles plays the violin in jazz/swing/blues bands, especially the electric one, he also has a preference for free forms and improvisation. He also played in a couple of movies (soon in a new one), including David Lynch's "The Straight Story".

Fantastically filigree contemplative to fiery playing of him on the two tracks of the album, I think:

https://soundcloud.com/morgenwurde/schwelt-ewig
See him playing: "Get near the Flame" https://vimeo.com/332539213

Introducing my collaborator Doug Perry - one of the virtuoso instrumentalists on my recent album, whose empathy and individual ways of expression are essential parts of the pieces.
Doug is percussion professor and one of the most watched marimba and vibraphone players on Youtube. See him play the vibraphone also with a bow, as on track 6 "Glüht aus" of the album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRPqWCWufN8&t=5
The vibraphone is very rare in ambient/spacemusic, although the synergy seems so natural, as you can hear on the album:

Tetsuroh Konishi on the trumpet is always surprising with new ideas, sensitivity and playing techniques, joining me for the third time on an album on Off Rec. already. He elicits unusual sounds like laughter or wind noise from the trumpet, and in this piece he brings special suspense among the harmonies:

In this track we expanded his playing through time-stretching:

In this occult performance, Tetsuroh plays the Tibetan horn:

Introducing one more collaborator from this album:
Georges-Emmanuel Schneider scintillates as a versatile border-crossing violin explorer. He is often on the road worldwide with ensembles and projects in modern / contemporary classical music, performance art and improvisation, including CD recordings with music by Alban Berg and Bela Bartok, but also Bach. He is also at home with the electric violin, the exotic Stroh violin, and also pushs boundaries by shaping sound live through effect devices.
See him performing magic in a cosmic music ensemble with the enlightened Rajesh Mehta (on a electro-acoustic hybrid trumpet):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq5EfE7Jn6w&t=2970
On my album "Für Immer", he elevates the music to transcendent highs by forming a mystic amalgam with the underlying soundscapes in two tracks:

Thanks so much, experimental.crow!
Just listening and enjoying a Mark Isham soundtrack compilation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbGcdUGYw2c
I knew his name, but wasn't familiar with his music so far.
Thanks again!

Last but not least: I'm blessed to have Maria Estrella Aggabao's fairytale vocals already on each of my last 4 albums. With her expression and skills she spans an impressive range of styles. In the 00's, she was the lead singer in hefty rock bands, later she sung in deep house and retrowave projects with Youtube plays up to a million. Recently she was more active performing live with Delta blues, which is almost solo singing, with sparse guitar accompaniment.
"Schien immer" was our contribution to the Pop Ambient 2019 compilation on Kompakt Records. On this recent album, this track appears for the first time unmixed on CD. Maria's voice here fuses as a time-stretched layer with the instrumental to a cosmic flight of fancy, marking the epic finale.
