Hi guys,
At last we can announce the new Field Rotation project 'Acoustic Tales'...
“Acoustic Tales”, the new release on Fluid Audio by Field Rotation, is more of a trip to another country than it is an album.
Where albums are generally collections of songs, this release is comprised of territories, each vast in scope – rolling hills, panoramic horizons and acres of fields. Each track is a full day in this wilderness – traversing hillsides, rivers and embankments, up hill and down dale. Each trip is undertaken differently, with the sun in the sky throwing different angles of light and illuminating hidden aspects of the terrain.
Christoph Berg built this world throughout a two-year period, with the stated aim of integrating the literary traits of Kafka and Hemingway into an auditory form, seamlessly blending cinematic character with a subtle and mature melodic personality. The restrained arrangements are draped around melancholic yet triumphant airs, representing a dramatic leap into the assured and dignified confidence of a skilled practitioner at work.
Nils Frahm at Durton Studio in Berlin has mastered the project from analogue tape, and the deep corners of the tracks are tactile and textured as a result. Assisting is cellist Danny Norbury, adding signature flair on ‘Tale 4’.
Continuing Fluid Audio’s well-established tradition of elaborate and bespoke presentation, the letter pressed packaging draws together themes found in the gaunt vignetted 20-page booklet with stunning photographic artwork by Antonymes. The artwork and music is also presented in conjunction with themed poetry from Estela Lamat, continuing her association with the label.
Also in continuation with Fluid tradition this limited release will be constrained to 200 copies, not to be reprinted.
The literary worlds Berg is channeling often represent alternate worlds to the ones we inhabit, reimagined as familiar but distant metaphysical versions of places in time. “Acoustic Tales” is the same – a window into a black and white slow motion landscape, embodied in a master class of modern classical composition, textural acoustic sound design and subtle electronic layering.
Available mid December: Anyone on the mailing list link below will be given the opportunity to reserve a copy with a one off 24 hour pre-order coming soon.

AMAZING! BREATHTAKING! I'm without words, this is just as good as Solar Fields best and James Murrays best, beyond understanding.

We should have been doing a pre order this week with a release for next Monday. However...
The letter pressed covers have gone awol on the journey over the Atlantic and I have spent the last 3 days trying to track them down via countless emails. As soon as I know more I will let you guys know. Either way we are looking at a slight delay that is out of my control Sorry about this
