WANDA
inspired by the two-parter “Neighbour“ and the song “Neighbour I“, included on WÆNDE, previously unreleased
The first of two parts as it could also be found on WÆNDE. It is only the name we are confronted with at first – “Wanda” which in itself resembles the pun in WÆNDE when it is in fact just the Polish word for a tribal member of the Vandals. In the course of the Migration Period in the fifth century, warriors from this East Germanic tribe made their way to Spain and eventually to North Africa. When the Vandal Kingdom was destroyed by Byzantine troops in the sixth century, all traces of the Vandals got lost. We are fascinated by history – something that we previously had only read about in books – and this fascination followed us wherever we go. We got hooked on foreign cultures and especially traditional instruments which have since then inspired many of our projects.
This is why we invited Japanese composer and vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita to join us for this track. He is currently working from his studio in the east of Berlin but intends to return to his fascinating homeland in Southeast Asia soon. We are more than happy that he agreed to accompany us with a couple of sounds from his magical instrument before his departure. Other than that, the kick sounds rather joyful this time. Just as the cello, it is run through sequencer, filter and echo at a persistently calm pace. Eventually, we add a precisely timed noise signal – just like a memory that becomes more real with every beat. It was not unlikely to find us at the sunny beach of Nishihama, completely lost in our fairy tales, fables or historic novels that blurred the lines between reality and fantasy. From one moment to the next, the Polish princess Wanda, the cruel dragon and the brave knight seemed more than real. This was always a slow and gradual process, which is why it is only by the end of the track that Daniel joins in with his slightly dazed but touchingly lowered piano motif:
