On February 1, 2012, Martin Hall and the Danish electronica artist Tone will be releasing a new album entitled Performing Apart. The record features their collaboration from the Apart Audio-Visual Festival at Platform 4, an arrangement where names such as Goodiepal, Jacob Kierkegaard and White Pony also performed.
Performing Apart is a high quality event recording based on equal amounts of online-adaptation of original source material and live-performance. The sound quality is, as already stated, extraordinary good, and the material features both fragments from both artists’ former productions as well as a couple of new tracks.
During the performance at Apart Audio-Visual Festival Kristian Ravn-Ellestad contributed with the visual part of the concert, something the new record obviously won’t feature. In return listeners will be able to enjoy a beautiful, well-balanced and fairly experimental concert performance.
Please note that track 8 on the new record (”Serienummer”) features a recitation of a Hall writing made by recently departed German litterateur Herbert Zeichner. Zeichner died on December 12, 2011, at the age of 70.
Tone (a.k.a. singer and musician Sofie Nielsen) has recently released her second studio album Hanging by the Moon, which has received a line of fine reviews in both Danish and international medias. Hall is currently working on new material. Performing Apart will be released by VME. Track-listing as follows:
