Linus Alberg - Elements (20230 [Hi-Res]

‘Elements‘ is the label debut by emerging German composer & producer Linus Alberg. The eight tracks were recorded in fall 2022/winter 2023 in his home studio in Augsburg with trumpet by Matthias Lindermayr. The pieces were initially inspired by the changing of the seasons, created through extended improvisations and experimentations on a Yamaha Upright Piano. As melodies and structures emerged, stories grew for each of the tracks around objects, places and moments he'd collected during the writing process. With these stories, Alberg's soundworld grew richer and the piano was joined by tastefully layered synths, harmonium and trumpet. The result is a collection of reflective yet upbeat instrumental tracks with a sonic universe that is entirely his own.
