Boris Blank – Resonance

As a member of the Swiss cult band Yello, Boris Blank has been shaping the development of electronic music for over four decades. Even as an established solo artist, the sound visionary has anchored his unmistakable DNA in global pop culture, which is still quoted again and again by current acts today.

With “Resonance”, Boris Blank is now releasing his third studio album, on which he defies the laws of space and time with a weightless fusion of ambient, trance and electro! The twelve tracks on “Resonance” were originally commissioned for the FORTYSEVEN thermal spa near Zurich, designed by Swiss star architect Mario Botta.

Stefan Bock and Stefan Zaradić from IAN Records used the “Spatial Sound Wave” system developed by the internationally renowned Fraunhofer Institute to create an elaborately staged 3D soundscape with meditative sounds for wellness and relaxation.

A completely new challenge for the notorious sound researcher, who ventures into previously undiscovered worlds of sound on his new album.

“I have always had a great affinity for wide, open spaces such as factory halls, underground car parks or even the mountains - and for the acoustic resonance that these spaces generate,” says Boris Blank about the inspiration for “Resonance”. “Every room has its own unique vibrations. It excites me to penetrate these spheres and make them tangible with the help of music. The bigger, the more interesting. My goal this time was to make the rooms as big and wide as possible.”
