Neues Solo-Album von Robot Koch: Sphere

Happy Release-Day: Robot Koch ballert heute nach seinem von mir sehr geschätzten Hypermoment 2015 sein nächstes Solo-Album heraus: Sphere. Die neue Platte ist gleichzeitig Soundtrack für Visual-Live-Shows, die das Tour-Programm in Planetarien stattfinden lässt. Klingt spannend. Und alles, was ich bis jetzt gehört habe, hat auf jeden Fall den gewohnten Robot-Koch-Vibe und ist wie immer atmosphärisch as fuck. Oldschool-Future-Ambiente-Sounds mit Style - und viel Liebe.

The album Sphere will be released on his own imprint, Trees and Cyborgs, in October 2018.

The sonic world Koch creates on Sphere is cinematic, dark, visceral and melodic, taking the listener on a trip deep into inner/outer space.

Sphere is also the soundtrack to Robot Koch`s ambitious new live show, which he has been developing in cooperation with the Zeiss Planetarium in Berlin. Together with visual artist Mickael Le Goff, he created a show for an immersive full dome experience with surround sound. The live show will contain custom made dome projection visuals and music written and produced for a 3D / AV environment.

The result is an immersive experience that will premiere at the Zeiss Planetarium in Berlin for the Red Bull Music Academy Festival in October 2018, kicking off a tour in 2019 performing the show in planetariums worldwide as well as at music festivals capable of full dome shows.
The theme for the live show and the album is the exploration of inner and outer space, the balance between nature and technology, and the quest for the unknown which is ultimately a search for oneself.
