Solitudinous musings for a summer night.
Pantha du prince (Hendrik Weber) of Hamburg, Deutschland searches for utopia in 2007's This Bliss.
Weber creates light layered minimal electronic textures weaving a loose fitting sonic fabric to engulf your senses and lose yourself in.
Romanticism seems at the heart of Pantha du prince, with painter Caspar David Friedrich listed as an influence & songs "Walden" & "Walden 2" titled after Henry David Thoreau's transcendentalist book. The music embodies the Romantic spirit, expressing the sublime & creating a sense of human smallness within the world, through his swelling landscapes and wandering spiritualistic approach to sound. While encased in the sphere of electronics (which may seem contrary to the "romantic" approach), Weber manges to create a "natural vibe" through discrete tribal pulses, sweeping strings, and breathing tunes.

If you are curious - - check out Pantha's loose "remix" of Animal Collective's "peacebone." Is there a line between remix & a new song?
