Cristian Vogel first album in 4 years to reflect on post-club era, out in February—described as an “exemplary power to redefine ourselves through music, through creative pursuits, through love, through imagination and through the politics of musical progress.”
Highly sophisticated and nuanced self-production
[Press Release] December 2020 — Cristian Vogel is a long-term, award-winning innovator in the design, composition and performance of electronic sounds for studio, clubs and stage, particularly interested in open-source creative software. Kyma is said to be the Holy Grail of sound design and world’s most powerful workstation, and Cristian is one of the world’s leading experts. Cristian’s work is out also through labels like Mille Plateaux, Sub Rosa, NovaMute, Tresor, and remixed also Radiohead and Four Tet.
So, here it is again. Cristian Vogel’s usual mind-blowing brand of high end, highly sophisticated and nuanced self-production. His songwriting and technical abilities build on over 25 years playing out and inventing sounds. When a producer like him gets to a position of defining their own sounds and styles, then it’s going to be hit after hit. That’s what Rebirth Of Wonky represents. An exemplary power to redefine ourselves through music, through creative pursuits, through love, through imagination and through the politics of musical progress.
Cristian Vogel’s 25th album started off as a blueprint for a new style. Research and recording began in March 2020 and was completed in October. Musical styles used to emerge from complex synergies unfolding within people and spaces as a certain music embraces them and shapes them. What happens to an audience, and what happens in the studio are linked through style and identity. This album, like so many in 2020, has been crafted through solitude, anxiety and hope. Audiences are distant, yet still yearn for music in their lives. On the other hand, many creators are virtually erupting as a need to be heard. It remains to see what dancing synergies and styles will bloom in 2021 and beyond. We are sure that the Rebirth of Wonky will be one of the defining post-clubbing albums of the year.
All music written, arranged and recorded by Cristian Vogel.
