We are happy to announce that we finished the recordings of the Metal section! After recording the drums at Sandlane Recording Facilities with Joost van den Broek, our guitarists contributed their parts and Joost refined them with a great sound. They really rock, we can’t wait to show it to you!
Next stop: Orchestras. During lockdown time, Janika is programming the orchestras with Julian’s assistance (while she is our musical visioneer, he is our sample library master mind). As soon as we can return to studio, strings and vocal recordings will follow.

While writing the compositions for Mother Universe, Janika wrote many small excerpts for different instruments in order to experiment with their sounds and to explore the style of the new album. With one of these excerpts, she won a competition for composers hosted by MDR Kultur. As a result, it will be recorded by the MDR ensemble.
Here’s the press announcement (German): https://www.mdr.de/presse/klangkoerper/presseinformation-mdr-klassik-mikrokompositionen-radio-100.html
It will be broadcasted in spring. We are looking forward to show you this slightly unusual pre-single of our album!
