{"product_id":"cd-johannsson-johann-orphee-cd","title":"Orphee","description":"Prolific and critically acclaimed composer Jóhann Jóhannsson releases his DG debut. 'Orphée' is his highly anticipated new studio album – the first in 6 years!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJóhannsson's genre-blending score represents all facets of his previous works – from intimate string quartet pieces, to large string orchestra works, featuring electronics, drones, organ, piano, choir, as well as enigmatic shortwave broadcasts to create an evocative \u0026amp; immersive sound.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"I started writing this album in 2009, using a number of simple contrapuntal themes. I began to reshape and transfigure these ideas, writing many different variations. These renderings slowly mutated over time in a process of deconstruction and re-assembly, to the extent that the original versions began to fade into the darker corners of my hard disk. Unlike many of my previous albums, this one didn't start out with a conceptual or narrative theme binding the music together. Rather, the music seemed to be waiting for its form, for its momentum\" – Jóhann Jóhannsson\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e'Orphée' is a melancholic, yet optimistic musical journey inspired by the Orpheus myth – Orpheus rising from the underworld, trying to escape darkness into the light.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Orphée was for me about moving to a new city, breaking up old relationships and beginning new ones, leaving behind an old life in Copenhagen and building a new one in Berlin. I think that's why I gravitated to Ovid's version of the Orpheus myth, which tells of death, rebirth and an artist's search for truth. This album is an oblique reflection on personal change.\"","brand":"UMA GER SBT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14597711822946,"sku":"871718","price":23.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/products\/871718-Product-0-I_aa56773d-2f95-4a5b-977f-1b6f9a45202b.jpg?v=1572270191","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/cd-johannsson-johann-orphee-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
