Garden Gaia CD

Garden Gaiais the latest chapter in a project that has been ten years in the making, which presents the artist, Hendrik Weber aka Pantha du Prince, as a close observer and mindful listener. It adds a new, forwardlooking perspective to Pantha du Princes work, which began in 2004 withDiamond Daze, released on Dial Records.For the nine new tracks onGarden Gaia, Pantha du Prince has again expanded his musical vocabulary of electroacoustic expression in a creative process that is extremely collaborative. Absurdly, these collaborations with musicians living far apart were in part inhibited by the pandemic restrictions during the winter Pantha du Prince sent finished tracks from his own cocoon to musician friends all over the world and was open to their contributions.Pantha du Prince the provocative, the opinionated, and the sense of authority that says I know whats best is something I wanted to do away with onGarden Gaia. Just as a garden wants to grow towards the highest level of prosperity and fertility, I as an artist try to just let things happen, to let them be. If we observe carefully, we can let a lot of energy from others flow into our work. The outcome is a different kind of art, a different kind of music.
