Avant Garde Crossover Concept
MG-SOUND “Masterminds“ Martin Böhm & Ludwig Coss invite you on a the trip to the core — with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Come along for this completely new and intimate experience, based on timeless classics.
Instead of simply highlighting classical music with cool beats, VSL music explores a sharp and sensitive design to charm lounge aficionados with delay chains and filterflows, but above all to entice traditional classical music lovers.
The musical works on this CD are Fantasias.
Liberated interludes that play with familiar themes. Enjoy them with the curiosity of a child, turn them around in your mind, put them away, and then slowly savor their intrinsic core.
These tracks don’t presume to translate the composers’ original intentions into the year 2009 - that would be disrespectful. On the contrary, “I have chosen works whose history of creation isn't familiar enough to me to restrict my imagination, so I could do the things that came to my mind first, go with my first musical instincts. Perhaps comparable to Keith Johnstone's approach to improvisational theater — only with samplers, synthesizers and the incomparable Vienna Symphony Orchestra“, says Ludwig Coss, Composer.
is the first in a multipiece CD series with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
Release: April 10, 2009
The CD has a unique packaging called the “Jakebox,“ an original design patented for the Vienna Symphonic Lounge project which gained the Golden Venus 2010 of CCA (Creativ Club Austria) in the category: packaging design.
Enjoy.
„For me these pieces are like junk art -
like sculptures made of Coke cans or car
parts, but with a heart of gold too.“
