The album will be updated as we go along. Check back when you have a mo and download the tracks you dont have yet. I think that’s how it’ll work.

Roland Torres from SilenceAndSound wrote some wonderful words about the release. Thanks Roland.

“It is almost in discretion that Boris Hauf continues to develop and divulge his music, full of poetry and tenderness, empathy and discreet beauty.

Redrick, released a few months ago as an EP, has been embellished with new tracks to turn into an album and should continue to see his tracklisting expand over time.

The unpredictable is a notion that the composer seems to particularly appreciate, offering with each new project a new angle of his personality forming a complex and rich whole that continually explores the depths of our world.

Crafted like a sculpture, each title is an opportunity for Boris Hauf to express galaxy skeletons, dreams escaped from black holes, erased images of the present … slaying hostile areas to create strangely attractive arpents of land.

There is a lot of finesse and delicacy in the work of the German, craftsman of rushed feelings and sensitive deviations, offering with Redrick, an initiatory journey to the heart of our creative humanity and our submerged emotions. It brilliantly blends, soothing trance and porous intensity, inviting jazz, electronics, classical and abstraction to merge together, to drift until the end of time. Vital.”

“The imaginative space between a piece of language and an intersection of commonly overlooked details in the environment is treated like a strange object that opens a distinct process of observation. Acting as both host and instigator, Litó Walkey continues to deal with the generative space among memory, presence and collective thinking. The audience is made complicit in a site of attention qualified by more than a
single identifiable subject. Multiple intervals of return in alternating presentational modes foreground the co- inhabitation of temporal, acoustic, spacial, physical and associative debris.”
– Litó Walkey

Friends,

I hope you’re well.

My recent solo CLARK2 was released on April 24, smack in the middle of the (first?) lockdown. I’m very proud of this release and think it would fit really well on your shelf and turntable.  It’s been getting good reviews and airplay but concerts and tour were cancelled.

Details:
It’s a double LP on white vinyl in an eye popping reverse printed gatefold designed by Julian Lars Gosper. Produced it at an ECO friendly factory with green, sustainable bio-mass driven technology and green power I do carbon-neutral shipping only or (if you’re in Berlin) delivered in person by bike.

Shipping to the US is bonkers right now. USPS charges $36 for a single LP, but I have a stash in Chicago. If you’re interested please get in touch.

Here’s what some listeners say about CLARK2.

“an extra-terrestrial minimalist synth excursion.” 
– xlr8r.com

“a celestial, addictive journey concluded with the elegiac […] urban, monotonous noises.” 
– Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts 

“an album of celestial electronics, alternately minimalist and maximalist and thoroughly engrossing for its entire 80 minutes” 
– Philip Montoro, Music editor Chicago Reader  

“Admirable excursion that contemplates half a century of electronics of terrestrial and sidereal environments in eighty minutes” 
– BlowUpMagazine 

“If time looked like music, it could be close to Boris Hauf’s new album, CLARK2. The 12 titles are an immersion in a space suspended from the celestial arches of a universe larger than our imagination. 
– Roland Torres 

“All this scratchin’ is making me glitch.” 
-Kevin Press 

“Brace yourself for a beautiful musical deep space science fiction adventure on this one.” 
– Stuart Bruce 

“I don’t know, it makes my eyes hurt.” 
– Naima 

Thanks for your support.
Stay safe,
Boris
