Must hear! - Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Observatory


German producer Hendrik Weber better known as Pantha Du Prince has released some of electronic music's most interesting soundscapes and in his latest effort he takes it to a whole new level. 

Pantha Du Prince has collaborated with Norway's The Bell Observatory for their just recently released Elements of Light to fuse electronic instruments with bells & marimbas. One of the coolest instruments they used for this recording is a carillon, an instrument that weighs three tons and has 50 bronze bells.
The results of this auditory experiment are quite unique. The album contains only five songs and is approximately 43 minutes in length. Below you can watch the music video for the first single "Spectral Split":

 

 I am hoping that Coachella bring this amazing performance to the desert. Not sure if much touring will be done in promoting this album. After all, it's not easy or cost-effective traveling the world with a three-ton instrument.

Elements of Light is available in the usual mediums over at the sites you choose to obtain music from.

I highly recommend you check this out. Your ears will thank you.
