ECHOES (feat. Flip Philipp)

A 2 track ambient dub single (9m 10s) — released May 17th 2024 on 4Bit Productions

"ECHOES PART 1 and 2 scheduled for release on 17th of May is the first of three singles set to introduce the next album project of Ulrich Troyer - TRANSIT TRIBE - to be released later this year.

Featuring the jazz vibes of Flip Philipp of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, "ECHOES" has all the resonance of pure gamelan in dub, stately, processional and instrumentally rhythmic with its sparser second part isolating contrasting pulses as the complexity unfolds and dazzles.

Twenty years in the making, now the fully developed vision of multi-instrumentalist Vienna-based Ulrich Troyer can be heard coming to its final fruition. The interface of electronics and the unique warmth of human interplay is apparent on this track as well as all the other sounds to be heard on the album where a remarkable array of new and old friends contribute to the proceedings. Thematically the album, as may be gathered from its title, is a clear appeal for humanity to be shown as the people of the world struggle to cope with increasing problems, whether caused by movement or lack of movement."

Echoes: Neue 7″ von Ulrich Troyer: Der in Wien lebenden Producer und Mehrfachinstrumentalist Ulrich Troyers bringt am 17. Mai eine neue 7″ über sein Label 4Bit Productions heraus – die beiden Stücke “Echoes Part 1″ und “2″ sind, gleichwohl unter Troyers Regie, in Kollaboration mit dem auch am Jazz geschulten Vibra- und Marimbaphonisten Flip Philipp vom Wiener Symphonieorchester entstanden und offerieren in gut neun Minuten eine dublastige, ambiente Musik mit einem starken Einschlag des Gamelan. Analoge Synthies, Drummachinem Sampler, eine Reihe an Field Recordings und diverse Effekte tragen zum ganz eigenen Klang- und Motivkosmos der Tracks bei, die zudem einen Vorgeschmack auf ein Album mit dem Arbeitstitel “Transit Tribe” geben, das für einen späteren Zeitpunkt dieses Jahres angesetzt ist. - African Paper Online magazine
