Two countries, two cities, one river. The Oderriver not only separates the German city of Frankfurt from Slubice in Poland, it separates two different worlds from each other. Whether rich or poor, people try to seek their fortune there -- but often only find their limits.
Hans-Christian-Schmid
(
Nach Fünf Im Urwald
,
23
,
Crazy
), one of the most successful and exciting young German directors, made a moving film with an impressive ensemble, telling emotional, deeply human stories, subtle and moving, tough and yet full of poetry.
The Notwist
composed the music for this film, based on a piano loop and minimal electronics, and recorded it with the participation of
Sebastian Hess
(cello) and
Saam Schlamminger
(
Chronomad
) (
zarb

Germany's
The Notwist
compose the soundtrack to
Sturm
(2009), the motion-picture by
Hans-Christian Schmid
. The plot: Hannah Maynard, a prosecutor at the Tribunal in The Hague, manages to convince a young Bosnian woman to testify against an alleged war criminal. Amidst the inconsistency of political interests and threats coming from Bosnian Serb nationalists, she realizes that her opponents not only sit on the dock across from her, but are also found in her own ranks. For
Sturm
, The Notwist composed a soundtrack that creates a hypnotic, unreal ambiance with bowed xylophone, alienated glockenspiel, orchestra accordion and minimal electronics. All music composed and played by The Notwist, except "Vilina Kosa Version," composed by
Daniel Glatzel
and The Notwist, played by
Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra
and The Notwist. Silkscreen print cover, with a 24-page 21x21 cm photo booklet.

The Notwist
releases a song on their own imprint Alien Transistor. "Blank Air" is a smooth song, reflective and haunting, featuring one of those typical, memorable Notwist hooklines. This track was composed for a movie by
Jörg Adolph
. The B-side features a cover version by
Console
of
Brian Eno
&
Cluster
's "By This River." Console has already released a vocal version of this, so here you'll find an alternate instrumental that has an even more ambient feel than the original.

"The Notwist have finished their long awaited fifth album
Neon Golden
, and it's big step further towards what they've been aiming towards for years: seamlessly unifying guitar driven music with modern electronica. Brimming with self confidence, they effortlessly move between both styles and ultimately make it something all their own. The Pilot single will be our first offering from the
Neon Golden
record. Pilot starts with an insistent 4/4 groove accentuated by Console's (Martin Gretschmann's) buzzes and stuttering electro beats and is underpinned by Micha Acher's unshakeable bass line."
