WELCOME!
Klangwelt (German for “world of sound”) is the musical project of Gerald Arend, a German audio-technician who is mainly working for the multimedia and video games industry. His music is based on the tradition of European electronic music, combining influences of artists as Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Yello with a unique blend of rich tone colours and sometimes unpredictable harmonic ideas. Further trademarks are his catchy, minimalistic melodies, grooving rhythms and playful sample gimmicks.
Klangwelt and his music were honored with several German electronic music awards, for example best newcomer and best CD (“Weltweit”) at Schwingungen elections 2002 and best artist at Schallwende elections 2003.
NEWS
With “Second Nature,” Klangwelt presents an electronic album full of impressive surprises. Choirs, beats, samples, sequences, arpeggios, and melodies merge into twelve fascinating tracks. Buttery-smooth ambient passages develop into rhythmically powerful pieces, melancholic ballad-like elements alternate with brilliant sequencer passages or rocking synth and electric guitar riffs. Klangwelt’s bizarrely alienated vocal samples and innovative sound effects are also not missing, refining everything with a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. A fascinating highlight of melodic electronic music which also thrills the listener with its powerful, dynamic sound.
“Second Nature” will be available on May 23rd, as CD by Spheric Music, as download and stream on all major platforms from May 23; Hi-Res-download and stream in pristine 24 bit resolution tba (very soon).
