Henrik Schwarz - Instruments (2015)

INSTRUMENTS is an acoustic project by internationally celebrated producer Henrik Schwarz. These arrangements are created by Johannes Brecht as a fully acoustic listening experience of Schwarz’s chart topping melodic compositions. On this album, 7 of his compositions are transcribed for a contemporary music ensemble, including his first single to receive worldwide attention, ‘Marvin’ (2002).

Both performed and recorded strictly acoustic, without the backbone of any electronic instruments, the pureness and elegance of wood brass, strings and percussion are transporting the repetitive grooves and hymnal anthems into renowned concert halls.

Over the last two years Schwarz developed this innovative approach to transfer his personal aesthetics of modern techno productions into acoustic chamber music arrangements.

Henrik Schwarz is an internationally celebrated producer/performer/composer for electronic music. He is an artist highly on request to create energetic dance music productions for Boy George, Stevie Wonder, James Brown and many more.

His intense laptop performances in major clubs and at the largest international music festivals in Japan, USA, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America catapulted Schwarz into the Top Ten League of electronic music performers.

Henrik has always expressed an eclectic approach towards music, composition and sound design. He easily and uniquely bridges the gap between performances for seated audiences at renowned concert houses and his dance sets around the globe.
