Privilege

Glitterbug // c.sides
Format // 2xCD // 2xLP
(en) After the success of his celebrated album 'Supershelter' followed by the fantastic 'Dim Flares EP', Glitterbug's breathtaking new 'Privilege' project is a milestone that continues his line of venturous sounds that uncover the new frontiers of techno. The epic double-album 2 X CD with 2h20min playtime, is an emotional and passionate production. Glitterbug's sensitivity to sounds keeps unraveling a unique language that spans between abstract composition, ambient, pop music, and the one ingredient that binds it all: Techno. With 'Privilege', Glitterbug takes the listener on a journey to explore new terrains, inverted and unconditional, drawing the full attention of every nerve and sense. 'Privilege' was produced partly in Glitterbug's Cologne recording studio and partly "on the road" during his international performance tours in 2009 between the Arctic Circle, southern India, Israel, Europe and China (and everywhere in between). Fragments of field recordings he took in these places appear in many of the tracks. Accompanying the CD release, is a stunning booklet by Israeli visual artist and photographer, Ronni Shendar, who is Glitterbug's visual partner for his live performances. Her photos, video and artwork perfectly mirror the album's foreign terrains of blurring and desolate horizons - emotional and captivating.
