Voyage’ finds Dieter Schtz venturing beyond his Berlin School roots into a realm of lo-fi immediacy and New Age naivety. Every instrument is played by Schtz himself, except for the drums on ‘Above’, which are performed with syncopated zeal by Michael Fecker. While its textured synthscapes and wistful melodies may echo the aesthetics of 2010s Vaporwave, ‘Voyage’ captured a longing for another world, not through borrowed nostalgia, but through a contemporary vision of escape. Here, Schtzs music is lush yet unpretentious, full of warmth, curiosity, and the gentle imperfections of handmade sound, his combination of organic and synthetic instruments marrying to summon faraway landscapes Amazonian forests, sunlit coasts, and cosmic night skies.
