Midori Hirano and Brueder Selke’s debut album Split Scale
unites two artists who share both inimitable skill and depth of
expression. Pillars of Berlin’s new music community and globally
lauded composers, they each share a background in classical
tradition while practicing on the cutting edge of modern music.
Split Scale is an elegant emotive ambient album built primarily
from pianos and cello and electronics. After tracks on Longform
Editions and the creation and curation of the Q3Ambientfest, this
power pairing should be an immediate hit with fans of quality
ambient or minimal modern music.
As Brueder Selke, the polymath duo brothers Daniel and
Sebastian Selke’s interdisciplinary partnerships are vast and
include classical institutions like the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie
and Filmorchester Babelsberg. The brothers have additionally
been working as musical directors of the Schaffrath Chamber
Orchestra and curating their own festival Q3Ambientfest which
has featured the likes of fellow artists such as Laura Cannell, Mabe
Fratti/Resina, Jules Reidy, Grand River, Yair Elazar Glotman, and
now-collaborator Midori Hirano.
Midori Hirano’s mastery of sound sculpting has put her in high
demand as a composer for film and television, including recent
soundtracks for All or Nothing, Tokito, and a documentary on the
Premier League, alongside astounding collaborations with artists
including Hprizm of Anti Pop Consortium and Ilpo Väisänen of
Pan Sonic. In addition to her own composing, Hirano has remixed
the likes of Robot Koch and Rival Consoles. Split Scale, the
group’s first album together, follows a series of live collaborations.
The artists chose a simple concept, following a western scale
from beginning to end, and from this created a suite of sublime,
synesthetic soundscapes and cinematic movements. The vivid
tapestry of sound and color is luminous and emotive.
