Aquarium Eyes
is the second album by the Austrian duo,
Ritornell
. Their debut,
Golden Solitude
, was released in 2009 on Karaoke Kalk. Acoustic and electronic sounds merge on
Aquarium Eyes
. Paying great attention to detail, Ritornell recorded at various locations (the studio of
Patrick Pulsinger
being one of them). The results are gently woven into their very own world of sound. Defamiliarized by subtle electronic manipulation, instruments such as piano, double bass, vibraphone, kalimba, and accordion develop a surprising life of their own, only to be consequently swallowed up by the hissing and buzzing of electronic devices. Gleaming, multi-layered electroacoustic drones, isolated organic sounds, and sophisticated textures complete the intricate arrangements. On
Aquarium Eyes
, Ritornell tackle the art of songwriting for the first time: Vienna-based vocalist
Mimu
sings, whispers, and sighs golden threads through some of the fragile sound structures that
Gerold
and
Eigner
assembled with intuition. The duo also collaborated with vocal artist
Didi Bruckmayer
on the track "Tremble." "Music Box" is a conceptual piece: under the direction of
Richard Eigner
, 20 people simultaneously turn the levers of their music boxes: melodies of musical history blend into a sparkling confusion of sound. With their interpretation of
Roxy Music
's "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," Ritornell give it a twist: the guitars from the original have been replaced by a string trio.
