Siriusmo is a German electronic artist with a sound scape unheard of. His 2010 debut album 'Mosaik' is his first full length album; prior to 'Mosaik' putting out many EP's and remixes. His use of varying and sometimes experimental sounds and undeniably genius melodies is unlike anyone before him and probably after him. Siriusmo's greatness comes from his ability to create beautiful, melancholic tracks as well as foot-stomping, head-banging, dance tunes. And everything in between.
As a fan of Mo's, 'Mosaik' contains an amazing selection of his musical abilities and talent although I do believe his debut album is missing some of his greatest hits. Though his preference in creating a majority of new tracks for his debut is anything but admirable and contend-able. It truly shows his professionalism as an artist, taking in consideration his large fan base and the ease today in the electronic music scene.
'High Together' contains one of the best introductions in electronic music and music in general. It starts off with the dismay of a live audience, only to come barging in with melodic synths and a groovy, disco rhythm bass line, which comes into a break through the middle of the track with some great arpeggiated highs. The track perfectly demonstrates Siriusmo's abilities.
'Sirimande' incorporates many hard analog sounding synths. It has an almost wobble bass, mixed alongside acoustic percussions and distorted synths, all blended together with varying rhythms. Eventually incorporating a classic piano synth and easing it's way into a melodic breakdown. The rhythm changes in this track creates a dual aesthetic of hard and soft.
'Lass Den Vogel' demonstrates Mo's sampling abilities fused alonside with his immense arsenal of electronic and acoustic sounds. Similar sounding to Mr.Oizo's, of Ed Banger Records, style. 'Lass's' drums and collaboration of smalls synth stabs with acoustic drums portray the natural and synthesized perfectly.
It can be difficult to try and analyze electronic artists, no less, one as eclectic and intelligent as Siriusmo. Although one might not enjoy a particular track or his work altogether, any music listener worth his salt can hear the quality and production of Mo's work. A particular attribute of Siriusmo's which sets him apart from all others and which I believe, why I like him so much is his work as a painter. Many of his tracks can almost be interpreted as visual as much as auditory. He is able to perfectly portray his world and thoughts through varying crafts, pouring out of him. A true artist.
