专辑简介
Cosmic Orient is a collective, which unites musician from the Middle and Far East, classically trained musician from western conservatoires as well as DJs, Rappers and music programmers. The multinational ensemble uses ancient myths and modern technology.
Cosmic Orient sweep across the land like a multi-cultural Sirocco. In the lee, Ambient sounds, fat dublines and irresistible dancefloor grooves, which meet the magical powers of Middle and Far Eastern voices, drums and instruments. DJs melt together with percussion players, samples with Indian singers and MCs with Sitar player, thus a very organic sound is developed, presented in colourful live events accompanied from visual and atmospheric effects and dancers.
Inspired by Asian Underground from London DJ Herb - T. begins to mix, in the middle of the nineties, eastern and Indian Samples with Ambient, Dub and Trip - Hop Beats. In addition percussionist and drummer Heiko Himmighoffen comes in and additional beats and bass lines are programmed, also various, changing musicians are invited, coming from the Balkans and the Middle and Far East and a sound system was developed that played in local and regional areas. At the beginning of 2001 it is decided to extend and thus Cosmic Orient came into life.
The sound of the project defined itself more and more and Cosmic Orient arranged a compilation called "eastern electronics", with artists such as Talvin Singh, Bally Sagoo, Dissidenten, Saafi Brothers and others, which was released beginning of 2002. Even then the CD was regarded a collectors item among insiders and is a timeless example of Asian Underground. At the same time, today's members Bernhard Faltermeier (Sitar, Indian classical music) and Walter Dorn (Flute, western classical music) joined the formation, as well as master vocalist from Pakistan, Mujahid Javid and a considerably Indian sound was created.
Starting 2003 the formation went on tour with some phat beats in their luggage to appear at festival on national and international stages: highlights were: RESONANT WAVE Festival Berlin/Brooklyn, E-CLUB - Hanover with Cosmic Orient meets Jazzkantine, Casa de Cultura ASIA - Festival in Barcelona with artists such as Audio Active, Ken Ishii or Susan Deyhim or at the SINNESWANDEL - Bern/CH. From 2003 -2005 Cosmic Orient were in charge of the cult club evening Sangeeta, in Frankfurt's UNITY as well as various gigs at the Sound Of Frankfurt, Museumsuferfest or in the Cocoon-Club, etc..
At the end of 2004, the band withdraws to start working on their first studio album called "Cosmic Orient".
