OCEAN ALPHA

The "Seventh World" is Achim Gieseler‘s "Seventh World", a world between imagination and reality, a world of meta-music, that stroke its still seizable roots in the European symphonic music, in the underground of rock cultures, in ethnic trends and in the minimalistic works of Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass.

Achim Gieseler - piano, keyboards, electronic, composer and arranger - is an artist of our "age of syntheses", who each time anew evades a categorization with his artistical dynamics and spontaneity. He is living in Berlin

Press reviews:

"This is one of those recordings that catches your attention during the first strains of music and then doesn´t let go until the last dies away. The Seventh World skillfully combines accomplished musicians with exciting and esoteric music, and records them with great sonics. Every song has a theme, ranging from bouncy Latin rhythms to dense electronic soundscapes, each with a decidedly jazzy feel. Musical hints of Asia, Africa, the Orient, and other far-off places, abound; effects such as wind and water, whispering and chanting, are tastefully intertwined with the instruments adding a proper ambiance to each piece." - Sounds Like 1/88

"One of Erdenklang´s most adventurous and exciting releases to date - it features really dynamic synth music and incredible sampling work." - C & D Review 91/92
