AURAL FLOAT
Moving Images
By their first
DVD release in the more than 10 year history of Aural Float, the ambient
project founded by Alex Azary, Gabriel Le Mar and Pascal Feos, the three
pioneers of the electronic music scene have set a multimedia-based benchmark
once again. Finally, they are moving with the continuity of the origins
of the project at the beginning of the nineties. Then, Azary and Le Mar
hosted the legendary Sunday Chill Sessions in the Frankfurt cult club
XS, Germany´s first ambient club where they already worked with
visuals quite intensively. From this germ cell, the Aural Float story
did not only lead to their revelled debut album 'Introspectives' in 1995,
but to the founding of the exclusive label platform Elektrolux as well.
In 1996, the team took over the creative direction of SPACE NIGHT. As
a proto type of a holistic TV concept with spectacular images and visionary
sound spheres, it received international attention. Until today, SPACE
NIGHT is a synonym for chillout. Four years later, another outstanding
platform for video artists and chillout producers was created by the Aural
Float masterminds: FLOWMOTION on the hr channel. During the past five
years, about 400 videos were produced especially for FLOWMOTION. In 2001,
the second Aural Float album, 'Freefloat', was released – a kind
of musical résumé of the SPACE NIGHT and FLOWMOTION activities.
In 2005, the musical focus continuously shifted towards modern and perfectly
produced electronic pop by the third album „Beautiful Someday"
without breaking up with the ambient roots.
With a consequent focus on Aural Float as multimedial avant-garde, 'Moving
Images' includes selected Aural Float tracks as well as comprehensive
bonus material in an exclusive DVD edition. The tracks are interpreted
anew in an exciting way by well-known video artists, based on high quality
film material. The DVD has been produced and published in cooperation
with corbis motion, one of the world´s most famous image and film
agencies for digital media. Moreover, Azary und Le Mar are back on tour
again and present their music as an optical and acoustic piece of art
live on stage.
