Program

Christoph Dahlberg draws fine lines into the music with organic sounds and crackling beats. After his highly acclaimed debut album 'TIME' (2020, Sonderling Records), his second work 'Blackforms' will follow at the end of 2022, merging cinematic, experimental electronica and ambient textures with an astonishing compositional consistency.
He knows how to peel out details through intelligent sampling, encountering the idea, capturing it and thus freeing himself - subtlety.

'Blackforms' holds an engaging gloominess that will fascinate you too!

Movement, change, constant transformation: omnipotent motifs that have always run through the interdisciplinary work of Christoph Dahlberg. Whether as a visual artist creating sometimes flowing, sometimes rugged forms of bronze and steel, or as a musician, producer and performer creating multimedia sound worlds between ambient, industrial and electronica. On his second studio album Blackforms, the 40-year-old now embarks on an atmospheric journey of self-awareness that leads from darkness through light and finally ends in universal nothingness.

On his concept album Blackforms, Christoph Dahlberg walks in a stylistic grey zone of experimental electronica, noisy ambient and atmospheric neo-classical music, in which the boundaries between deconstruction and transformation seem to melt into a gigantic black noise.

Blackforms is the result of nocturnal thought loops that Christoph Dahlberg processed in recording sessions that often lasted for days into a cinematic, compositionally astonishingly consistent piece of music. A transformative creative process in which each track represents a separate station on the journey into the endless void. Dahlberg was supported by cellist Tobias Unterberg (The Inchtabokatables, Deine Lakaien, Chamber), who lends the synthetic sound sculptures an organic, chamber music facet.

Among others, the works of German-language poet Paul Celan and the oppressive widescreen force of Anselm Kiefer, whose painting Dahlberg retrospectively describes as his personal introduction to abstract art, served as particular inspiration.

'Sometimes the view into the abyss is so terrible and frightening that something moves inside you.' A movement that Christoph Dahlberg instigates with Blackforms.
Blackforms will be released on 02.12.2022 as LP and digital on the Leipzig label TELESKOP.
