Boris Blank - Resonance (2024) [Hi-Res]

On "Resonance", Boris Blank's cinematic soundscapes unfold into expansive sound galaxies, with which the Swiss musician offers a fascinating view of infinity from his studio on the famous Zürichberg. The twelve tracks on the new solo album originally emerged from a commission for the Fortyseven thermal baths near Zurich, designed by Swiss star architect Mario Botta. Stefan Bock and Stefan Zaradic from the Munich-based company IAN Records worked with Boris Blank to create an elaborately staged 3D soundscape using the "SpatialSound Wave" system developed by the internationally renowned Fraunhofer Institute.

A completely new challenge for the notorious sound researcher, who enters previously undiscovered ambient worlds on his new album. "I've always had a great affinity for vast spaces such as factory halls, underground car parks and mountains. And to the acoustic resonance that these spaces create," says Boris Blank about the inspiration for "Resonance". "Every space has its very own vibrations. I'm fascinated by entering these spheres and making them tangible with the help of music. The bigger, the more interesting. My aim this time was to make the spaces as big and wide as possible."
