Waldeck - The Moon and the Orient '2024

Tracks list

Klaus Waldeck, the grand vizier of the Viennese electronic music scene,
dedicates his seventh studio album to genies and Scheherazades. The Moon and the
Orient enchants with an oriental atmosphere and a great sense of mystery, wonder
and surprise. With the usual precision, the compositions explore the playful
forms of the chosen genre and yet ultimately fit into the unmistakable Waldeck
sound. The album relies slightly more on electronic means than its predecessors,
but still remains subtle and approachable; tasteful. The rhythms often creep out
of their baskets like cobras and maintain the tension from the first to the last
bar. Longing and exoticism caress and fuel cool arrangements, hidden desires
urge for resolution and return. The genie is never completely free, but never
completely powerless either. Whoever releases the 12 Waldeck genies locked in
their oil lamps will inspire ears and hearts for at least 1001 nights: on the
dancefloor, in the ballroom or wherever the heart is looking for love. Featured
vocalist Patrizia Ferrara is also back. She has been a constant musical
companion since 2017 and gilds the album with a beguiling performance. Zeebee
and drag artist Lucy McEvil can also be heard on the album. Other members of
Waldeck's oriental salon orchestra include bassist Philipp Moosbrugger, drummer
Alex Pohn, clarinetist Herbert Swoboda and guitarist Thomas Hechenberger.
