Biography

RIESEN & LINAH
ABOUT
C.Riesen (former CHRIS DASH) works as a passionate and dedicated musician and producer to create his own unique soundscape. Open to many styles and influences, especially in the realm of electronic ambient music, his compositions are elaborated fusions of warm acoustic sounds (such as classical string elements) and downtempo beats, accompanied by enchanting fragile, yet at times voluminous female voices of the marvellous Mrs. Carolina.

PREVIEW
Album "Serial Time Killer" mixed by Roli Mosimann is going to be released in autumn 09.

THE ALBUM
The first notes of C.Riesens ambitious sound project feel like a drop off of a helicopter, followed by a soft and almost soundless parachute landing in the middle of a dew-kissed rice field. This could be the commencement of a quest game as well as the opening act of a monumental saga. The filigrane, yet dense sound textures evoke emerald green landscapes, lulled in damp, ethereal atmospheres. The pursuit is a quiet one, but the outcome of the mission is crucial for mankind. Utmost poetic, meaningful lyrics guide you on your journey like sentinels on a trail. The path is full of precious surprises as well as dark moments of anguish and pain - all of which you are likely to collect and cache in your heart on your way through... While you're idling along a green river, sudden uptempo grooves uncompromisingly wake you from your idyllic dreams like the roar of the waterfall ahead ... But skills and technical perfection lead this mission to the expected accomplishment. Smooth, colorful and multi-faceted - this is not music, this is grand acoustic cinema! (C.Maurer)
