The new album by electronica producer
Ulrich Schnauss
and the
Engineers
guitarist
Mark Peters
Destiny Waiving
is released via Bureau B. Hailing from Kiel in North Germany, it's now 20 years since the electronica prodigy Ulrich Schnauss released his debut album. His second,
A Strangely Isolated Place
cemented his reputation as both a pioneer and an artist who routinely creates inspirational music that is adored by many. As a full-time member of
Tangerine Dream
since 2014, his lifelong passion for their work inspired a creative resurgence for the band, resulting in their most successful new album for over 30 years, 2017's
Quantum Gate
. Liverpool born guitarist (and founder of the dream pop outfit Engineers)
Mark Peters
shared a similar musical path, exploring ambient textures and effect laden songwriting via a series of blissful albums for the band. In 2017 he released his first solo album,
Innerland
which was enthusiastically received by BBC6 music and later included in Rough Trade's top ten best albums of 2018.
Destiny Waiving
completes a collaborative trilogy that began with 2011's
Underrated Silence
(BB 094CD/LP) and followed by 2013's
Tomorrow Is Another Day
(BB 148CD/LP) (Schnauss also became a full-time member of Engineers at this time). Initial sessions began at Ulrich's East London home studio in early 2017 and final mixes were completed there in late 2020. Despite its extended conception, most tracks were completed during 2017, in part informed by improvisational sets in London, Dublin and St James' Church in Birmingham. Despite these exercises in exploration,
Destiny Waiving
is perhaps the most focused and concise collection of all three releases. Ranging in tone from precognitive foreboding to soaring optimism, the album delicately hones a particular atmosphere that is unmistakable in their work. While track titles such as "The Supposed Middle Class" acutely display a concern for society at large, compositions and performances reveal a great deal more light and shade. This inherent balance is a key facet of the duo's chemistry, signposted by the titles of "Chiaroscuro" and "Clair-Obscur" and the shifting moods within the tracks. For every rushing, upward sweep ("Hindsight Is 20/20", "Circular Time"), contemplative countering is evident in tracks such as "Words Can Be Dismissed" and "So Far", "The Moment".
