Cinematic remixes and blends previously unreleased material created between 1998 and 2003 as soundtracks for video, documentary films and multimedia. The eight song collection of synth and guitar-based melodic electronic/ambient music guides the listener through wide-open, cinematic perspectives. The expansive rhythmic sequencer-based sections intersperse with ambient zones and soaring electric guitar textures. These are soundscapes created to complement a story or an event, yet still have it’s own self-containing inner life.
“Scoring for other media is a quite different experience from composing for album releases,” Erik reflects. “It forces me to take different artistic solutions when diving into other’s creative worlds. Often this makes the music more passionate, adventurous and storytelling then what I usually compose. These pieces show the depth and beauty of the process. I have a lot of material from these years in my archives; after some intense studio sessions and reflecting back, I found that these tracks sort of belonged together. They all have an expansive, sonorous and textural character. Sometimes very rhythmic, sometimes very ambient and abstract. Aural landscapes that possess a sense of engaging drama and, full of feeling and powerfully evocative.
Wollo’s signature use of shining, consonant chord structures, tender melodic phrasing, and masterful sound design give this release its adventurous and vibrant character. Cinematic is nearly fifty minutes of mesmerizing “new” electronic music, shimmeringly expansive ambience bridged with emotional expansive melodic outings.
All songs, edited, remixed and remastered in 2017.

Absolutely beautiful! I had to think of Tangerine as well, especially at the guitar part. Once again you created a song that takes us to inner places we forgot the existence of...

Very Nice! Post-Berlin School Tangerine Dream style sequences. I could watch the waves on beach footage for hours! Should be an album well worth exploring!

It is!
