Format: 12" in printed sleeve.
CAT: CLR138V

Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte announce their second record collaboration, Symphonie des Seins (Symphony of Being). The release includes the original version and a Dub mix by Liebing, and follows Liquid Slow, released by both artists in 2019. It also marks the second preview of Chris Liebing's upcoming Evolver EP, scheduled for late March.

A true acid beast driven by the energy of mid-nineties techno, Symphonie des Seins features Charlotte de Witte providing a restless, nuanced spoken word, built from journals and accounts of psychedelic experiences with ayahuasca and DMT that Liebing found while browsing the internet. Precise yet hypnotic, old school in spirit yet utterly contemporary in its execution, the track shows two techno artists from very different formative generations converging perfectly into a sharp, devastating dancefloor piece.

Following the release of the Roy Batty EP in January, Symphonie des Seins is the latest single before the arrival of Evolver, Chris Liebing's thirteen-track album, released on March 27th. The LP also features collaborations with Luke Slater, Speedy J, The Advent, The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble (Daniel Miller), Terence Fixmer, and Pascal Gabriel.

Evolver represents Liebing's first solo techno album, after having focused much of his recent output on long-format electronic works with collaborator Ralf Hildenbeutel, such as Burn Slow (2018) and Another Day (2023), both released by Mute Records. It also marks his first solo techno work since Evolution, the album co-produced with André Walter in 2002.
