Info zu Moving Images

Emil Friis' neues Album "Moving Images" ist ein Zeugnis der menschlichen Verfassung und der Dinge, die uns als Spezies zusammenbringen. Moving Images ist inspiriert von den Bewegungen des menschlichen Geistes und den Geschichten, die wir durch Musik, Worte, Kunst und Film teilen, und will diese inspirieren. Das Album umfasst ein breites Spektrum an Instrumenten und Emotionen: düstere Kammermusikstücke ('For Goodbyes'), bedrohliche und doch hoffnungsvoll hypnotische Ambient-Stücke ('Zero'), sanft berührende Solo-Piano-Stücke ('Dancing'), poetische und verspielte Flöten- und Synthesizer-Stücke ('Through Air') und spannungsgeladene, filmische Streicher, Synthesizer und Klavier ('An Upward Motion'). Moving Images" ist auch ein gemeinsames Projekt von Friis und ausgewählten Filmemachern. Jeder der 15 Albumtracks wird von einer Videoarbeit begleitet. Friis erklärt: "Ich wollte einen Beitrag zur Verbreitung und Wahrnehmung moderner klassischer Veröffentlichungen leisten, indem ich Filmemacher einlud, die Musik durch ihre eigene Vision zu interpretieren." Die Filmemacher, zu denen bisher Kevin Brooks, Shaun Hart, Morgan Jon Fox und Jonathan Meyers gehören, hatten kreative Freiheit, die Stücke zu interpretieren, die ihnen am meisten zusagten.

Emil Friis, Klavier

Emil Friis
is a Danish, Copenhagen based composer, working within the realm of music for film and recorded works. Through his lack of formal training Friis has created a musical language filled with sensibility, tension, brightness and somber beauty. Utilizing many of the instruments within the orchestra, but always intertwined with an array of different machines for processing and synthesis, his work is characterized by its ability to mirror the human condition.

His early voyage into music was established between the grooves of his father’s vinyl collection, where legends like Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley spun folk tales, which kindled in him a profound adoration for narrative-infused melodies. Today, he finds continued inspiration in the sincere minimalism of Gavin Bryars’ compositions. But also, the works of masters like Johan Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven and Jeff Bridges and Keefus Ciancia’s grossly underrated work Sleeping Tapes influence his artistry.

Throughout his career as a film composer he has had the privilege of scoring notable film and TV projects, frequently working alongside award winning filmmakers such as Morgan Jon Fox, Kevin Brooks, Shaun Hart and Jannik Splidsboel. As a recording artist he has released a number of albums, among them the ambient long players Songs From The Deep and Untitled Dreams as well as the piano work Mirrors and the stand out score to Undersea, to name a few.

His compositions, whether ambient or gently emotive, balancing both light and shadow, have been touched by the talents of musicians like Davide Rossi and Bobby Furgo (Leonard Cohen) among others. In addition to his composer work he is also a curious analog photographer.

Moving Images, his solo debut for influential British label 130701 is slated for release in late summer 2025. Not solely a music release, it bridges Friis’ music and films by an array of mainly American filmmakers.
