DIORAMA - Tiny Missing Fragments (Sealed) (CD)

tiny missing fragments" is the tenth studio album of the dark wave avant-gardists of diorama. diorama has always been considered to be highbrow and unconventional. And never before has this label been as justified as today. On "tiny missing fragments" diorama make a consequent break with classical electro arrangements. Instead, they pack their emphatic messages into glitch beats, complex loops and atmospheric density. Epic and melodious in the choruses, in which the melancholic lightness of earlier releases like "amaroid" and "her liquid arms" shines through. The album was recorded and produced by Torben Wendt and Felix Marc. In addition to the haunting vocals and the many sound details, the psychedelic guitar effects of Zura Nakamura also contribute decisively to the character of the album. The band's presence in the clubs is enhanced by tracks like "gasoline" or the remix of "horizons" produced by zoodrake. But the album gets its radiance from the torn, disruptive aesthetics that unfold especially in ballads like "irreversible" or "dark pitch". As harbingers to the album release several single releases including video material will be released. The coverartwork was created in cooperation with the Dutch artist Faizki, who created a series of pictures exclusively for this release. diorama exist since 1996 and look back on a multitude of releases and performances at concerts and festivals. The line up of the 4 musicians has remained unchanged for many years (except for a change in the guitar position).
