The iconic German producer Christian Hornbostel has unveiled his majestic 14-track opus and eagerly awaited debut long-player, Liber Novus. Liber Novus or ‘New Book’ as its Latin translation suggests, is very much a new, darker chapter in Christian’s creative mind and is wholly representative of a multi-faceted, boundary-pushing producer at the very top of his game.
A career-defining moment for Hornbostel, Liber Novus is indeed wonderfully dark and hypnotic, has an extraordinary allure and maintains the impressive quality of engaging the listener from the very start. Complete with melody and discordance across its duration, Christian capitalizes on his unique ability to draw you into a lusciously dark, labyrinthine-like construct, as he explores a plethora of sounds from across the techno tradition – from stripped back minimal to driving, industrial trance-like soundscapes, and everything in between. Liber Novus is out now via FORM Music.
