Wöstheinrich, Lankow & von Garnier – Materiaal 071︱The Wilhelmshagen Sessions 20240419

Materiaal Series, Vol. 071

Recording of a studio session at Andreas von Garnier’s Synthasis Studio in Wilhelmshagen, Berlin, April 19, 2024.

The Wilhelmshagen sessions, taking place on a non-regular basis at Andreas’s studio, are a opportunity to experiment, play around, try out various new settings and combinations and eventually go completely bonkers.


This session turned out to have quite very narrative quality, much like a movie score, with lush textures and orchestral elements. The music invites the listener to immerse themselves in a complex, filmic experience of some sort.

At the end of the session Andreas’s asked us about the meaning of “cinematic” which we found very intriguing.
