Solace And Renewal

Anechoic Chamber Music

"Solace" typically refers to a state of comfort, consolation, or relief in the face of distress or sadness. It's often associated with finding peace, comfort, or a sense of calm in difficult or challenging situations. Seeking solace can involve finding emotional support, tranquility, or a source of relief that helps alleviate pain, sorrow, or stress.
The concept of solace is often connected to activities or environments that bring a sense of comfort or peace, such as spending time in nature, engaging in meaningful relationships, practicing mindfulness, or participating in activities that bring joy and relaxation.
People may find solace in different ways, and it can be a highly personal and subjective experience. The pursuit of solace is a common aspect of the human experience, as individuals navigate the ups and downs of life.

"Renewal" generally refers to the process of making something new again, restoring, or revitalizing. It involves bringing back freshness, vitality, or a sense of newness to something that may have become old, worn out, or stagnant.
Renewal can be applied to various aspects of life, including personal growth, relationships, organizations, and the environment. Here are 2 contexts in which the concept of renewal is commonly used:
Personal Renewal: This involves self-improvement, personal development, and the revitalization of one's life. It may include setting new goals, adopting healthier habits, or making positive changes to achieve a sense of personal renewal.
Spiritual Renewal: In a spiritual or religious context, renewal often refers to a process of spiritual rejuvenation, rediscovery, or recommitment to one's beliefs or faith.
The concept of renewal implies a positive transformation, a fresh start, or a return to a state of vitality and energy. It emphasizes the idea that things can be refreshed and improved over time.

lyrics

It's time to show up
It's time to glow up
Let's turn the sound up
And get it on tonight

I feel your rocket ship
We're gonna take a trip
Into the night sky
Where the stars so high
We're gonna take a trip

Let's go,
Let's go,
Let's go
There's a place I know
Let's go

I feel your rocket ship
Gonna take a trip tonight
You feel your rocket ship
Gonna take a trip tonight

It's time to glow up
It's time to show up
Let's turn the sound up
And get it on tonight
Take flight

(Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo)

Let's take a trip
On your rocket ship
Let's take a trip
On your rocket ship

There's a place I know
We gotta take it slow
Do you rocket ship take a trip?
There's a place I know
I'm gonna take it slow
And if we leave at the right time
We'll get to moonshine
We'll watch as the sunrise
Believe in the starlight

There's a place
So faraway
I wanna go
And see a show
Don't you, don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

And get it on tonight, tonight.

It's time to glow up
It's time to show up
Let's turn the sound up
And get it on tonight.

The Land of Sannikov

Adam Majdecki-Janicki

"The Land of Sannikov" is a calm ambient piece reflecting on the Land of Sannikov legend. A lost island is an utopia portrayed with endless meandering hot springs and a volcano in the center. The piece was improvised and is inspired by folk music.

Many thanks to the team of Kulturkeller Westend, esp. Günther Klingler and Michi
Greger.

As some of you might know, our long-time friend and bandmate Peter Frohmader died
suddenly and unexpectedly in May of 2022. But we, the three remaining Nekropolis members Ray, Gerhard and Udo kept making music together after Peter's passing.

A couple of months ago we organized a memorial concert for Peter, close to the one
year anniversary of his passing (and his birthday as well). There, three bands
connected to Peter played - among them Nekropolis '22, which is the name of the new
trio formed by the former Nekropolis members (named so with the blessing of Peter's
widow Antje). We were able to multi-track record our performance at this concert and
the recording turned out so well that we decided to make a release out of it.

As for the music itself, it is completely improvised. But fear not! This is neither free jazz
noodling nor jam rock. We still try to practice what Peter liked to call "spontaneous
composition": Improvisations that have structure and lead somewhere (of course
there's some jazzy stuff in there, but also Hammond Organ, Mellotron and more). And I
think we were quite lucky to have recorded a gig where we came quite close to this
goal, IMHO. This paired with the excellent sound quality of the multi-track recordings
resulted in this release. Special thanks go out to the live engineer Michi Greger and to
Uli Miksa for the cover design!

Awakening

Awakening is The Band Famous most ambitious project yet, with each track bending different genres. It is the 2nd musical album released by this power couple in rock'n'roll!

Self-produced and Los-Angeles based husband/wife production duo combine soul, hip-hop, rock and roll, EDM, and industrial sounds within the Awakening - EP.

We self-produced our album, and self-produced our music videos for every track off of our EP. We also made a short film, which includes the final music video for "Because" in a Matrix fan film titled "The Matrix: Because".

The song and music video for "Emotional Scatter" - the hit off the EP - was written, produced, and recorded while living in a car during a 2.5 year trial of homelessness, (which is talked about in our interview with Voyage LA) and later mastered and finished when the band opened The Band Famous private venue in Los Angeles.

A note: While the name of the EP is Awakening, the song "Awakening" is not part of this EP, but will be released in a future project.
