Info:
Here Today is significant through their releases on Philpot, Suol, Claqueur and the legendary UK House Label Buzzin Fly Records. Engin Seyrl and Florian Schirmacher catch the key moment to release their debut album „Transitory Objects“ with two exclusive music videos, a remix by Wareika colleage Jakob Seidensticker, and a Book, summing up the work of their joint venture with the Stuttgarter Performance Ensemble over the recent six years. While their tracks alternate into something momentary- fading, they clip the moment by playing live in coniunction with the audience. Producing at any moment, Here Today interacts between studio and live performance. The interplay and open process, could be related to the works of classical composer John Cage. Both providing an open space especially in their live show. The first more to listen and the latter even more to dance to. Crossing introduces a moody club athmosphere, drifting into a club hymn, including as strong as shimmering vocals. You can feel the UK House influence, which defined the „Good News“ Release on Buzzin Fly. Cool House with unexitedly vocals... „Crossing all barriers....“ glowing more and more and building up to a repetetive refrain... Like „Save“ - a classic House Track featuring clap attacks, Engin`s Funk Guitar and House legend Ian Pooley, who has collaborated with the guys. The Track interplays with rough cutted drum sounds, a full to the brim Bassline and Ian`s Hi Hats. Working sums up their club skills into a hooking hit. Subtle Loops, pull the listener on the floor. Wispered or defined vocals, Florian does show a superbe quality and dynamic, but keeping it relaxed and „cool down“ too. The mixture of drive and leisureness is a grown-up masterpiece and surely one of his best vocal tracks. The gem of the jam session is „Meadow Run“- a powerful techno track with their old school trademark sound. They recorded their drum machines on tape and reused them in the mix. Which gives them a softness without loosing its
punch. Layered Prophet synthesizers draw an exiting pursuit, driving the curve with full speed, but every sound has enough consistency, to drift not away, or is that exactly what happens? Working and Meadow Run are coming up with official music videos: Gernot Tögel pulls us into an intimate club shooting at Elipamanoke, Leipzig; while Working was filmed in collaboration with Deutsche Oper Berlin under the direction of Laura Laabs. After the presentation at the opera house the video has been now chosen to represent Deutsche Oper in their Cinema Campaigns. Even if Engin Seyrl met Florian in Bremerhaven their „Hometown“, they sticked together in Hamburg, sharing a flat, producing and working for the Stuttgarter Performance Ensemble. Altogether this ensemble accomplished a book release, an alliance of FormResonance and Institut für Kirchenbau und kirchliche Kunst der Gegenwart, coming up with a book, called: „Spirit Now“ Performance for Pentecost. Published by Thomas Erne, Petra Dais and Florian Schirmacher. FormResonance is proud to present and to unite the different transformations, which Here Today has done over the
years. Without the help of all contributors, the album, the remix, the book and the video would not be, like it is right now: The Transitory objects of „Here Today“. More
