Andi Otto's "Unter Tieren" is a captivating sonic journey released on December 10, 2015, under the Pingipung label. This 40-minute album is a compilation of tracks originally composed for various theatre and film productions between 2010 and 2015. It marks the first time these pieces are released together, offering a unique insight into Otto's versatile musical collaborations with artists like Victoria Hauke, Beate Andres, Flinntheater, Ileana Drinovan, and Sabrina Dittus.
The album features a diverse range of compositions, from the hauntingly beautiful "The Knockings After Hibernation" to the minimalistic yet evocative "Ms 20 First Flying Efforts." Andi Otto's mastery of the cello, combined with his skillful use of organ and electronics, creates a rich tapestry of sounds that are both intimate and expansive. Tracks like "Four Chords Face to Face" and "Four Chords and a View" showcase his ability to craft compelling narratives with just a few musical elements, while pieces like "A Storm" and "Thira Tremor" delve into more dramatic and atmospheric territories.
"Unter Tieren" is not just a collection of background scores; it is a standalone musical experience that invites listeners to explore the emotional depth and narrative power of Otto's compositions. The album's artwork, designed by Andrea Wienck, complements the music beautifully, adding another layer of visual storytelling to the auditory experience. Whether you're a fan of ambient soundscapes, experimental music, or simply appreciate well-crafted compositions, "Unter Tieren" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
