CD-Rezension von Harald Wiegand: „JUICE – Reise zum Jupiter“
Bernd-Michael Land: “JUICE – Reise zum Jupiter“
An Electronic Sound Journey with Airbrush Depth
With “JUICE – Reise zum Jupiter“ (Journey to Jupiter), Bernd-Michael Land has created an album that does not merely deal with outer space.
It takes the listener on a journey that slowly unfolds, layer by layer, sound by sound.
The reference to the ESA mission JUICE is more than just a title.
The spacecraft is dedicated to exploring Jupiter’s icy moons, and precisely this sense of distance, coldness, movement and unknown depth runs through the entire album.
What fascinates me most about this music is the way Bernd-Michael Land builds his pieces. They do not arise from grand gestures, but from movement, layering and patience.
Sounds are placed, altered, withdrawn and opened up again.
