Product Description 1989 marks also Kölsch's intensified deployment of real-life orchestral sounds and the conitunation of his extremely fruitful collab with Gregor Schwellenbach: after contributing to predecessor album "1983", the Kompakt affiliate, composer and multi-instrumentalist now conducts the Heritage Orchestra for tracks KHAIRO, LIATH (featuring a violin solo by Kate Robinson) and SERJI, the latter of which Schwellenbach co-wrote and co-produced. The 24-person Heritage Orchstra consists of violins, violas, cellos and double basses, adding the sweeping drama and organic, richly layered textures that only real strings can produce - a deeply humane tone that is set with the album's opening recording of the orchestra tuning its instruments (which incidentally also incorporates a voice recording from 1989 of Rune Reilly's grandfather Ludwig). Seeing Kölsch's propensity for vocalist cameos on his albums (Trœls Abrahamsen on "1977", Tomas Hoffding and Waa Industry on "1983"), one shouldn't be surprised to find beautiful cut IN BOTTLES, which features vocals written and performed by Aurora Aksnes.
