“Everything flows – nothing remains, there is only an eternal becoming and changing” is a well-known formulation of the river theory of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, also known as panta rhei (ancient Greek: πάντα ῥεῖ, “everything flows”).
This teaching states that everything in the universe is subject to constant change and that nothing stays the same forever.
The metaphor of the river illustrates this: You can't step into the same river twice because both the river and you are constantly changing.
The water is constantly flowing, but the river stays in one place.
Thus, reality is constantly changing, even if sometimes perceived as constant.”
"Same Same but Different.“ Always different – always the same.
Chill-Out DJ Heraklit
For the 26th time, the most consistent of all ambient compilations, in a constant flux of static change, is released on Kompakt.
Joining good friends from the early days and reliable confidants are some new additions to the non-hierarchical charts of contemplative rapture culture.
Leading the way is Micå, a Japanese electronic musician whose finely chiseled, graceful musical style has made it onto the new collection with two pieces.
Also making his debut is Richard Ojijo, a seasoned sound engineer known, among other things, for his long-standing collaboration with the artist Marcel Odenbach and the Cologne-based label Magazine.
Oskø aka Max Hytrek, a multi-talented newcomer to Kompakt and the music scene, debuts with his rapturously ecstatic piece "Ar Vag." He's followed by Sebastian Mullaert, appearing for the second time—this time teamed up with Sebastian Lilja aka Hush Forever.
After his surprise return last year after a 20 year hiatus, we are delighted that Tetsuo Sakae aka Pass Into Silence is back again this year with one of his distinctive sound gems.
As are Dirk Leyers (Closer Musik) and Mikkel Metal.
18 tracks are featured on this CD.
"Erlösung" (Redemption) is the title of Segensklang's closing track.
A kind of ambient bolero into infinity.
Or at least until next year...
And what would Pop Ambient be without the iconic, artistic cover design of Veronika Unland, who once again, in her unmistakable way, says through the digital flower: The eye always listens...
