Schiller - Leben

Review by Ben Sima

Leben by Schiller is a captivating album that showcases the German electronic musician's talent for crafting immersive soundscapes. The album features a blend of ambient, trance, and classical music that is both soothing and invigorating.

The opening track, "Willkommen," sets the tone for the album with its ethereal vocals and dreamy instrumentation. From there, Schiller takes listeners on a journey through a variety of moods and emotions, from the uplifting "Once Upon a Time" to the haunting "Morgenstund."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Dream I Had of You," which features the haunting vocals of Chinese singer Yalda Abbasi. The song builds slowly, layering in strings and percussion until it reaches a crescendo of emotion.

About Schiller

Schiller is the main project of Christopher von Deylen, a German electronic music composer who produces music which can be considered trance and ambient. Since he himself does not sing on his tracks, he often collaborates with other famous singers in the electronic genre, such as Peter Heppner, Kim Sanders, Maya Saban, miLù, Sarah Brightman, Moya Brennan, Despina Vandi, Xavier Naidoo, Helen Boulding, Alexander Veljanov and musicians like Mike Oldfield. The name of the band is taken from one of von Deylen's heroes, Friedrich Schiller. The Weltreise (German for "World Trip") album was inspired by a two-month-long road trip that Deylen took with his father from London to Peking.
