Daily Chant for the Regular Life
Liun + The Science Fiction Band, a duo from the Berlin jazz scene, is set to perform their album "Does It Make You Love Your Life?" live at Gretchen in Berlin on October 12th. The event promises an engaging show that translates the band's studio complexity into a dynamic and immersive live experience.
The band, composed of Wanja Slavin on saxophone and Lucia Cadotsch, is known for their fusion of jazz and synth-pop styles. Their music offers a unique blend of electronic and organic sounds, creating an atmospheric and emotional musical experience. The complex sound textures of their music immerse listeners, while their sophisticated arrangements and cinematic aesthetic provide a rich sonic palette.
"Does It Make You Love Your Life?" is a 13-track album that features a 13-piece string ensemble, adding a layer of depth and richness to the band's electroacoustic tracks. These tracks, likened to acoustic dioramas, offer a wealth of unexpected ideas and continue to reveal something new even after the twentieth listen.
Cadotsch, who was born in Switzerland and now resides in Berlin, is also involved in other projects, such as the trio "Speak Low" with Otis Sandsjö and Petter Eldh. Her trained jazz vocals repeat the lyrics so often they become mantras, making it easy to lose focus on the lyrics due to her idiosyncratic phrasing.
One of the tracks on the album, titled "Katze", takes unexpected turns, reflecting the album's overall theme of intricate and playful synthie art-pop. Cadotsch herself refers to the album title as a daily mantra that she uses to help make decisions.
Gretchen, a venue known for hosting eclectic and quality live acts, suggests a setting well-suited for Liun + The Science Fiction Band's innovative and immersive show. Attendees can expect a vibrant and energetic performance that showcases the band's skill at delivering a rich sonic experience live.
In Rhaeto-Romanic, Cadotsch's second given name, "Liun", means "lion", fittingly reflecting the band's powerful and dynamic sound. Cadotsch studied in Kopenhagen and Berlin, further enhancing her musical prowess.
