I alone by Andrea Taeggi
Andrea Taeggi is coming with her new album released by German label – Adventurous Music based in Leipzig.
Six electronic compositions released as a DL but with a set of postcards.
The façade of this album is definitely socio-political reflections of how relationships work in a global context. Andrea is using those musings to fuel her approach to composition, intonation and general shape of how her electro acoustic work operates.
It is a dense narrative – very rhythmically minded in terms of the first impression. But there is plenty more to it. The dynamics of Andrea’s tracks is just impossible to follow at times – it has a beautiful and complex structure which you can appreciate more and more as you keep coming back to it.
Modern composition with high stake of discipline and invitation to reflection on modern world. Can we ask for more stimulating influence?
In a global context where destabilization, conflict, and injustice thrive, the role of the artist — and the motivations behind continued creation — become ever more relevant. While sound alone may not bring about substantial improvements to the dire conditions many people face, this record aims to inspire a sense of presence, and connection.
I tuned my instruments to a scale not commonly used in Western cultures, following a microtonal system known as Just Intonation — where frequencies retain their natural relationships and shared origins. "Just" as in the pursuit of justice and equality; Just as in an environment where all actors behave with more compassion and sympathy — ethically, and in resonance — much like the frequencies themselves.
Whether systemic change will arise from a shift in consciousness or be catalyzed by broader political reforms is hard to foresee. The track titles point toward the former, drawing on a poem from the ancient spiritual teachings of the Tao Te Ching, which speaks to stillness of the mind, emptiness, presence, and darkness — while maintaining an ironic tone all throughout.
Andrea works as a composer, live performer and producer in the fields of electro-acoustic and electronic music. Altogether, he has (co) authored 23 releases and toured in Festivals in Europe, the US, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Japan and South Korea.
Inspired by I alone, multidisciplinary artist Signalstoerung designed 9 postcards that complement this album.
