Mosaik 127 by Schäfer
With Mosaik 127, Schäfer presents an album with ambient music that convinces with sensual dynamics, contrasting depth and artistic independence. Chains of associations and mind games form the conceptual foundation. It is a mosaic – every single part is significant and has its origin in the architecture of the Church of Johannes XXIII situated in the Berrenrather Straße 127 in Cologne, Germany. It was here that the musician realised that ambient musicwould become an important part of his artistic work.
Mosaik 127 is a concept album whose mosaic pieces fit together like the colorful glass elements of the windows in the Church of Johannes XXIII. This is also evident in the album’s artwork, which constitutes a strong visual layer in the overall design of Mosaik 127. The digipac with its recycled tray and 12-page leporello booklet creates a generous haptic added value that literally plays into the hands of fans of analogue music and artwork.
