Sil007 Feu Follet - Souvenir d’ermitage read more

ff-front-souvenir.jpg

Tracklist:

  1. le sourire de sonja
  2. souvenir d’ermitage
  3. ailleurs

The titles of “Souvenir d’ermitage” already indicate that even a happy present will carry the burden of the past. Behind the smile of a loved one, ineffaceable memories will always hide. Which is not to say that I consider depression to be a normal state or that I would call myself a pessimist. Simply, we are a composit formed from the clay of time. Although I conceived this music to be harmonious, “Souvenir d’ermitage” is not only a statement of beauty. Rather, it is an allegory. Or a testimony to the two-sided nature of love. After all, it is thanks to pain that we’ll find the things we have always been searching for.

Composed, Performed and Arranged by Tobias Fischer, April-July 2006

Artwork by Mirko Uhlig

“This material is my first attempt to write shorter tracks, although keeping the same illustrative way of building up the tension in the piece. The whole music here is conceived as just short impressions, miniatures presenting the same mood from different points of view, thus the word “notes” in the title…”

Tracklist:

  1. Host
  2. Korstog
  3. Isodet

“These tracks are about the old boat house in Steines, Norway where my grandparents and my mother used to live, and the sea that her father worked on as a fisherman. There was no road there then, so they had to row for several hours just to get to the shop. I used to play there a lot when I was a child. I don’t know if my music is about my grandparents…or my mother…maybe I’m diging in my own childhood…maybe it’s all this…a history of a family by the coast…”
