What we say about Bersarin Quartett, by Bersarin Quartett

This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.

Some lovely modern classical/electronic stuff now with Bersarin Quartett. Opener 'Oktober' is a fine track that manages to bridge the gaps betwen hip-hop, classical and dub. A gorgeous track with lazy beats, lush strings and effects washes. Max Richter, Johan Johannsen, Sylvain Chaveau, Ryan Teague and Angelo Badalamenti all spring to mind. As far as this kind of orchestral stuff goes this really is as good as it gets. Phil has likened this to Arovane's Tides and Brian has mentioned Telefon Tel Aviv.There's some clever sound design going off and all. Track 6 even has some jazzy drums. There are haunting piano moments too Phil's just clocked the press release and informed me that this is 10 tracks composed for imaginary film scores. It does have a real soundtrack feel that just lets your imagination run wild. This is one you'll want to bang on all cuddled up with a glass of wine. I dont know what else to say other than this is simply lovely stuff. Digi-pak CD with fantastic sleeve on Lidar.

With some albums, you realize within a few seconds that here you have come across something really
special. It is music that touches you straight away. Music that is important, that has a story to tell – and
that manages to do so without even a single line of lyrics.
Wonderful orchestral pieces full of longing and melancholy. It is that certain kind of melancholy that
seizes you when you are moved while following the final credits of an emotionally touching movie,
remembering special moments that have faded in the course of many years and linger hazily in your
memory, when you are somewhat wistfully contemplating old, worn photographs from days passed by …
not a feeling of failure or hopelessness, but a bittersweet reflection.
Orchestral cinemascope sounds provide the emotionally moving fundament, wrap the tracks up in a
warm coating. Graceful strings pile up, creating big moments and repeatedly ending inmelodies that are
simply heart-rending, cinematic and tragic. But the Bersarin Quartett does not merely rely on these
ingredients. The songs are also repeatedly interspersed with suspenseful and surprising elements, be it
frail electronica, hypnotic soundscapes, drums or reverbed guitars. Rarely has amelange sounded as
convincing and natural as this, and rarely has it sounded so well produced.
Thomas himself calls his music “imaginary fictional filmscores“. And it is hardly possible to come up with
a more apt term. 10 tracks for 10 movies that have yet to be shot. Music that radiates such an enormous
and authentic passion in every single minute, that one can’t help but completely abandon oneself to it.
And honestly: Can there be anything more wonderful that can be achieved through music ?
