Commissioned by Roadburn Festival for its 2024 edition, this workemerges from a rare collaboration with the three-time Grammy Award-winning Metropole Orkest. Lux Tenera invites listeners into a meditative exploration of life, joy, and the beauty of existence. The composition premiered on April 21, 2024, in Tilburg, Netherlands, following an intense three-day rehearsal and recording period at Metropole Orkests studio in Hilversum. This performance-now captured in the album-also marks a unique collaboration with British arranger and conductor Simon Dobson, whose sensitive transcription and arrangement of Philipps music for orchestra elevates the work to an auditory spectacle. Lux Tenera - translated from Latin as \"tender light\"- is an odyssey of sound and thought.Philipps poetic lyrics - delivered in both English and German - weave a tapestry of vivid imagery and allusion, guiding the listener through a world where life, memory, and transcendence coalesce.This intellectual and emotional alchemy is heightened by the orchestral elements at play: a 50-piece ensemble, the primal resonance of two large-scale Taiko drums, and the ancient, raw timbre of the Carnyx, performed by Patrick Kenny. The result is a sonic structure that marriesthe primal with the avant-garde, the physical with the metaphysical. On the upcoming single \"Emanation,\" Philipp is also joined by his longtime friend and musical companion James Cook, who contributes additional vocals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55265479000438,"sku":"4015698685718","price":23.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13457058_1140650_20250214123530.jpg?v=1739545763","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/4015698685718-lux-tenera-a-rite-to-joy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
