- Hendrik Weber's new LP shows him continuing to work with The Bell Laboratory.
- Pantha Du Prince will release a new album in January called Elements of Light. The album shows the understated techno producer (real name Hendrik Weber) continuing to work with The Bell Laboratory, a collaboration that first materialized in a performance at last year's Øye Festival in Oslo, Norway (as depicted in an In Pictures feature here on RA). The centerpiece of the LP is the bell carillon, a 50-ton instrument with 50 bronze bells that was developed thousands of years ago in China. According to a press release, the idea for the project first came about when Weber heard the bell carillon at Oslo's city hall resonating throughout the city. As it happened, the same man who played the carillon that day (Vegar Sandholt) played it in the sessions for Elements of Light. A gaggle of other performers appear on the album as well, contributing "tubular bells, marimba, xylophone, cymbals, chimes, handclaps, finger snaps and other percussion." Elements of Light will come out on Rough Trade, who also released Weber's last LP, Black Noise. You can hear a cut from the album called "Photon" right here. Following a date with The Bell Laboratory this Friday in Hamburg, Weber will spend the rest of October and early November touring North America in support of the album. Tracklist 01. Wave 02. Particle 03. Photon 04. Spectral Split 05. Quantum Rough Trade wil release Elements of Light on January 15th, 2013.
