Every track on MUSIKHAUS offers a new vision of the past, confirming that memories as well as history itself is always subject to reinterpretations and revisions.
Recorded in London’s Barbican Centre — combining the music’s hard construction with the brutalist architecture of the space.
A new vision of the past
Erased Tape’s electronic-music composer, Ben Lukas Boysen builds around Fallen’s repetitive and tense motif, adding an ascending energy and instrumentation to the composition which stretches it to new planes of emotion. The track is part of MUSIKHAUS, a new release by the German brother duo Brueder Selke (aka CEEYS) in which they invite musicians to rework tracks from their previous album HAUSMUSIK. CEEYS’ sound is inspired, from style to instruments used, on the brother’s shared memories of growing up in East Germany, in the final decades of the GDR. Every track on MUSIKHAUS offers a new vision of the past, confirming that memories as well as history itself is always subject to reinterpretations and revisions.
“It was a lovely challenge to try and add something to the tightly knit dynamic of Daniel and Sebastian. Rather than fully deconstructing the original piece, I took the position of remixing as if I were a third band member for a few minutes. This way the original can shine and still gets a different feel.” ~ Ben Lukas Boysen
MUSIKHAUS is available on Neue Meister October 29, 2021. [Bandcamp | Website]
