WELTFORMAT by Luigi Archetti / Bo Wiget

200 copies, 2LP version, 180g clear vinyls housed in a six-panel gatefold cover that unfolds to reveal the graphic score of the album.
Clusters of tone and dissonance merge, collide, and abrade against drones, textures, and pulsing electronics, each element a representative voice of its creator, caught in an imagistic conversation beyond words, which feels as immediate and intuitive, as it does perfectly balanced and thoughtful. Weltformat, encountering Archetti and Wiget just past the 20 year mark of their collaborative partnership, bears the fruit of rigorous experiments in sound - an immersive, effortless form of sonic realism, built from the optimism and hope which lays at the root of the avant-garde. As beautiful, inviting, immersive, and slow moving, as it is challenging, destabilizing, and thought provoking, Die Schachtel is overwhelmingly proud to release Weltformat in both clear double LP and CD formats.

Musician & visual artist.
Luigi Archetti's works build up a multiply nested system of references and interactions. A passionate artist and musician, Archetti moves in a constant oscillation between these, for him, inseparable spheres. He beguiles us to transcend the boundaries of seeing and hearing and to experience the world anew in the simultaneity of both.
