Pantha du Prince (Live)
“Hendrik Weber is one of the leading figures in modern techno.”– Pitchfork
“[Weber] demonstrates a gift for generating heavily melodic mazes of sound.” – BBC
German techno auteur Pantha Du Prince (aka Hendrik Weber) will release The Triad on May 20th, his first proper studio album since his 2010 breakthrough Black Noise, and 2013’s collaboration with The Bell Laboratory, Elements of Light. Today also sees the release of the The Winter Hymn 12”, which features the titular album cut along with the exclusive track “Post Human Palisades (feat. Bendik & Kassian)” and an extended mix of the album track “Dream Yourself Awake.”
On the new album’s conceptual framework Weber says, “Black Noise was very much about me being alone in a small room in Berlin and composing. The Triad opens the structure to more human ways of interacting, not digitized ways of interacting. It’s not a
bout Facebook; it’s about meeting up and jamming. I wanted to cut through the digital dust that surrounds us.”
In addition to the album announcement and 12” release, he has shared a video for “The Winter Hymn, ”directed by Pantha Du Prince himself featuring a masked Weber with “The Triad, ” a group of musicians including Scott Mou (Queens) and Bendik Kjeldsberg of the Bell Laboratory who feature heavily on the album, as they and a dancing woman perform ritualistic gestures in characteristically psychedelic environs.
