With his latest album, "Energie Braucht Zeit" (energy requires time), composer and pianist Jan Wagner concludes a trilogy of sonic meditations on the theme of loss, centered around the passing of his mother. With this installment, he addresses the concept of time: the foundational element of reality and the force ensuring the inevitable dissolution of all things. He proposes that it is the acceptance of this polarity that not only makes healing possible but also makes it impossible to align yourself with the vital energies within and around you without it. In other words, this music is a big and undeniable yes towards life, wrapped up in eight delicate compositions. Incandescent, full-bodied, tactile – this music oscillates between the gentle, serene, and somewhat spectral; and a rich gradient of forms pulsating, dancing, and ecstatic. The album features guest appearances from violinist Tobias Preisig and spoken word artist AINT ABOUT ME.
