KLANGWART - WILDNIS *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 18th September 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

With the release of ‘Wildnis’ in autumn 2026, Klangwart celebrate 30 years of the group’s existence. During numerous sessions in their own Inkiek studio in Unna/Germany and a residency in Montoriol/France in 2025, Klangwart have created their new work ‘Wildnis’ (‘wilderness’), inviting Sébastien Del Grande to add tenor and alto saxophone, drums, marimba and other various percussion instruments to their electronic textures. Catalan composer and performer Ivan Chin aka Ivan Telefunken also participated in the recording sessions by contributing to a Catalan version of Swiss group Grauzone’s famous new wave hit ‘Eisbär’ under the title ‘Os Polar’. Timo Reuber’s arrangements, production and mastering gave the album its final touch. Klangwart started their musical expedition into for them unknown territories already in 2014 when they went to Bogota /Colombia in order to record with protagonists of the local music scene: Dami n Ponce (drums), César Quevedo (bass) and Eblis Alvarez (violoncello), members of The Meridian Brothers, and singers Juanita and Valentina Añez Rothmann a.k.a. Las Añez. The result, released on Markus Detmer’s Staubgold label in 2019, was Klangwart’s trademark sound permeated by a Latin American pulse and pitch. With ‘Wildnis’ the story continues: field recordings from Latin America are interwoven with delicate electronic structures, Del Grande’s iconoclastic approach to the saxophone meets Klangwart’s familiar organ drones, Catalan folk meets German Krautrock.
