Christian Hornbostel - Liber Novus (2020)

Following the critically acclaimed release of his Paragranum EP on @form-music at the end of 2019, iconic German producer Christian Hornbostel now returns to the revered French imprint, with the announcement of his majestic 14-track opus and eagerly awaited debut long player, Liber Novus.

Due for worldwide release on April 17, Liber Novus or "New Book" as its Latin translation suggests, is very much a new, darker chapter in Christian’s creative mind and is wholly representative of a multi-faceted, boundary-pushing producer at the very top of his game. A thoughtful and deeply complex body of work, inspired in part by the writings of Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung, each component part has been deliberately crafted to generate a coherent exploratory expedition into the darker recesses of Hornbostel’s musical mind.

The album has been receiving support from Richie Hawtin, Audiojack, Mladen Tomic, Carlio Lio, Paula Cazenave, Carl Craig, Joris Voorn, Jerome Soudan, Secret Cinema, Darkrow, Simina Grigoriu, Danny Tenaglia, Gabriel Ferreira, Luigi Madonna, Andrew Till, Axel Karakasis, and Ramon Tapia, just to name a few.
