*Polaris & Krzysztof Horn - Collision [Full Album] // melodic electronica, ambient, berlin school music (berlin schule music).*
*Improvised live during Ricochet Gathering in Rathaus Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany 2010.10.15.*

The title "Collision" is not accidental. It refers to some of the difficulties that accompanied the creation of this music.
First of all, our characters - Polaris and mine proved to be a challenge for us. Both stubborn, resolutely defending their musical vision.
Another challenge was the acoustics of the place and our listening during the concert. It was a huge hall, the sounds reached us with a certain delay, which caused them to duplicate at times with the sounds from the listening speakers. This caused great difficulties especially at moments of improvised sequences using the delay effect.
The music was not prepared by us as full pieces to be played in front of an audience. They were sketches, sounds that everyone prepared in their own studio and only at the concert did we put it together.

I hope that you, the listener, will also feel the amazing atmosphere of the place that is Rathaus Schöneberg, get carried away by the music and forgive us for our stumbles.
Enjoy listening.

*REVIEWS:*

[...] Spherical and dreamy music starts out on the 11-minute title track with a distinct kind of movement that nicely carries on on the second piece "Mal du Siecle". Moody vocoder voices show up at the end of this track, aptly complementing the smooth morphing synth textures. Things turn more rhythmic on the more technological-oriented "Octahedron Moon", made up of harmonic guitar, spheric soundscapes and lovely grainy effects.
The 15-minute "Berolina Train" is the longest and also best piece on the album. It smoothly develops in a gently sequenced, down-tempo kind of way with vintage undercurrents. Congrats to these two musicians for its catchy and infectious spatial sound design on this track along a mellow-dancy rhythm. A slight Kraftwerkian touch shimmers through the last track "Subconcious choice", a comfortable up-beat/psychedelic sound experience. [...]

[...] Inventive electronics are accompanied by artificial percussion, resulting in dreamy tuneage.
A versatile array of electronics are employed to generate sounds of every which sort, from deep bass rumblings to celestial airs to grinding rotors to sweeping textures. These assorted electronics are layered to spawn fluid passages of twinkling beauty.
While a distinct percentage of the electronics are created by manipulating knobs, a fair amount of keyboard-triggered passages are prevalent in the music.
Cybernetic rhythms contribute novel beats, some of which establish tempos, while others simply lurk in the mix on an equal basis with the electronic riffs.
This music possesses a delightfully fresh sound, blending retro Berlin stylings with a modern esoteric approach. There's even a touch of peripheral ilbience thrown in to jazz things up. Everything merges to produce an enticing flow. While the majority of this tuneage falls into the auralscape model (slow-building sonic structures that gradually coalesce into blissful pinnacles), a few pieces pursue the more traditional "song" approach (with lead riffs and rhythms, both mounting in puissance to bewitching crescendos).
Releases like this leave the listener eager to hear more by these musicians.
