today´s release!!!
In the soundtrack of A Divided World, composers Stan Koch and Maarten Buning captured the tragedy and madness of World War II and its aftermath.
The series follows six historical figures navigating conflicting themes such as courage, despair, sacrifice and self-preservation. These themes were brought to life through intricate sound experiments, blending modern and classical instruments with analog reel-to-reel tape machines.
To achieve the desired sound, Stan Koch and Maarten Buning performed with strings, zither, piano, mandolin, guitars, and synthesizers, while also recording instrumentalists to bring their compositions to life: Samira Aly (cello), Linda Bergström (vocals), and Alistair Payne (trumpet). The cello adds classical depth, reflecting the tragedy of the era. Hypnotic vocals evoke the unsettling madness that consumed society, while the trumpet intensifies the chaos with overblown, experimental textures.
