Frank Wiedemann, core-member of the Âme/Innvervisions constellation and man behind their instant classic productions such as ‘Rej’, ‘Where We At’ and ‘Fiori’ is honouring us with an extended live-set. With a track record of regular appearances in the world’s best clubs and festivals, Wiedemann’s penchant for orchestral instrumentation and composition, deconstructed and enmeshed in vintage synth tones and spectral vocal samples is sure to blow your mind.
ÂME LIVE aka FRANK WIEDEMANN (innervisions) DE
After a long night of dancing, many night club patrons leave the venue with a certain track stuck in their heads. But for Âme, the DJ/production duo of Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann, the tunes lodged in their brains are the ones they didn’t hear, ones not yet written that would fit perfectly in their sets. Since 2003, Beyer and Wiedemann have penned songs that once existed just outside club- goers’ imagination, songs that boldly combined floor-filling elements with conceptual conceits while maintaining their visceral appeal. As part of Innervisions, the collective/label they run with Dixon, Âme (pronounced “AHM”) offer glimpses of the future of electronic music through their live project, genre-melding compilations, and an independently run shop that completes the connection between artist and admirer. In a genre obsessed with reliving the past, Ame are focused on what’s still to come. For Ame the appeal is in breaking down influences and songwriting habits in order to craft something new. Without attachments to particular methods and patterns, the duo was free to develop an overarching view of what dance music could be and pursue it through various moods, timbres and even genres. But if one stylistic point shines through it’s the group’s penchant for orchestral instrumentation and composition, albeit deconstructed and enmeshed in vintage synth tones and spectral vocal samples.
