Actually, "The Smile of the Trees - Metamorphosis / Interval / Odyssey / Quintessence" deserves a new term in electronic music, precisely because here natural and electronic merge so intensely in the sense of the old, tree-rich tree. Just as HERMANN HESSE made it happen in "Piktors Verwandlung" in 1922, when he turned the boy Pictor into a tree in his art fairy tale and had his impressions, between pleasure and fear, reflected in it. That was poetry - under exactly the same angle BERND-MICHAEL LAND creates the musical poetry of electronics and nature with "The Smile of the Trees" and affirms Hesse's words in his very special way: "Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever speaks to them, who knows how to listen to them, learns the truth. "
CONCLUSION: With the electronic music quarterpiece "The Smile of the Trees - Metamorphosis / Interval / Odyssey / Quintessence", the musician, studio technician and sound artist BERND-MICHAEL LAND, clearly influenced by the "Berliner Schule", realizes his combination of electronic music Music, sound experiments and nature sounds a quiet and beautiful journey through the fascination of nature. So beautiful and gorgeous that you could create a new category within the broad spectrum of e-music: New Natural Age!
