“EIGENART”可亦说裁上是能代表整个德国,并受到国际追捧的一队专门把玩Downbeat、Ambient、Lounge、Chill Out的电子音乐组合。组合由两位来自德国西部城市盖尔森基兴,原本有着不同生活背景,却同样拥有极高音乐天份,并对电子音乐产生兴趣的音乐人Claus Pieper和Werner Balzuweit组成。它们的作品经常被收录于全毬众多知名的沙发、电子音乐系列专辑当中。当中就包括有Ibiza Chill Out、Purobeach、Luxury Lounge、Electronic Lounge、Bedroom Escapades、Estudio Del Mar、Buddha Grooves、Absynth、Bar Beats等。因此,它们也被喻为沙发、电子音乐界最重要的艺人之一。 它们在06年发行的专辑《Cityhopper》,亦及后来在07年推出的专辑《Malia》,都展现了它们在电子音乐创作,尤其是electronic deep moods music(Downtempo)沙发音乐创作方面的伟大才能。这两张专辑为它们援得了不少名誉和尊重。而它们富有美感的新作也将在它们09年底或10年初推出的组合第三张专辑《Artefakt》中,继续给乐迷留下深刻的印象。
The talented musicians Claus Pieper and Werner Balzuweit from Gelsenkirchen are one of the most popular international downbeat, ambient, lounge, chill out and electronic music producers from whole Germany. Their productions for worldwide well-known ambient and electronic music projects like Ibiza Chillout, Electronic Lounge, Estudio del Mar, Buddha Grooves, Absynth, Bar Beats and many more made Eigenart one of the most important artists of ambient music.
Their albums Cityhopper (2006) and Malia (2007) gained them fame and respect within the chill-out and electronic music scene and shows their great talent in composing electronic deep moods music.
Their artistic work will continue to impress in the future with their third album being released in 2009.
Eigenart are Claus Pieper and Heinz-Werner Balzuweit. Both of them have their roots in electronic music.However, they have different backgrounds and this leaves its mark on their project EIGENART.
Claus Pieper and Werner Balzuweit produce electronic music, for the first time in the second half of the 80s, starting off with little equipment, basically using an Roland SH101 and Roland TB 303 and a drum computer, but both of them didn’t have the knowledge to use these fine Instruments.
( at this time no one of them knew that these instruments will later on revolutionize the electronic music world ).
