"The music of Claude Debussy's is inspiring, timeless and beautiful. It is full of musical ideas, touched with their tonal moods and highly variable that also non classic fans can´t ignore it.” When Stefan Erbe begins a new music project, the musical progress and own conceptual development are the essential aspects. He always disconnect himself from the last works, sets his creativity to a starting point and wants to get a new view to the upcoming musical stuff. “To get the best way into the old pieces you need to analysis your own musical skills and ask yourself if you are able to do that with a non blasphemy implementation”. But his synergy of electronic- and classical-music really does have something new, because it does not consist only a simple interpretation, it has the symbiosis of two genres. It is not only his sound or the “synthesized emotionality”, it is also the musical extension and the venture, to add something. Erbe dares to change notes to enlarge melodies and define all areas new. But his own compositions are joining the preludes and suites, inspired by the ideas, the stories and the life of Claude Debussy. Stefan Erbes typical character also can be found on his latest album. The result of his fashion melodies, the drumatic elements and many complex song-theme needs a 15-month production process to be finished. The selected tension of the album tells the story without interruption in 67 minutes. One possible comparison to the genre Genius Isao Tomita is obvious, but something is different. Erbes philosophy of blended synergy is not only a form of instrumentation, it is rather the goal to expand the music, even if this can occur with a reduction. Can synthetic music are the original justice? They can, if they get the chance to break away from their image. Typically, one tends to classify something newly gained. Maybe we call it classical Ambient or Neo-Classical. But no matter what name the most excellent is, a good story can be drawn, written or told, it ultimately does not matter, because a good story it is anyway.
