Bersarin Quartett

Bersarin Quartett is one man project from Münster, Germany founded by Thomas Bücker in 2006. The self-titled debut album was released February 2008 on Lidar Records.

Aliases: Beats Beyond, Jean-Michel.

Wonderful orchestral pieces full of longing and
melancholy. It is that certain kind of melancholy
that seizes you when you are moved while
following the final credits of an emotionally
touching movie, remembering special moments that
have faded in the course of many years and linger
hazily in your memory, when you are somewhat
wistfully contemplating old, worn photographs
from days passed by not a feeling of failure or
hopelessness, but a bittersweet reflection.

Time and evanescence. This is the matching
soundtrack.

Orchestral cinemascope sounds provide the
emotionally moving fundament, wrap the tracks up
in a warm coating. Graceful strings pile up,
creating big moments and repeatedly ending
inmelodies that are simply heart-rending,
cinematic and tragic. But the Bersarin Quartett
does not merely rely on these ingredients. The
songs are also repeatedly interspersed with
suspenseful and surprising elements, be it frail
electronica, hypnotic soundscapes, drums or
reverbed guitars. Rarely has amelange sounded as
convincing and natural as this, and rarely has it
sounded so well produced.

Thomas himself calls his music imaginary
fictional filmscores. And it is hardly possible
to come up with a more apt term. 10 tracks for 10
movies that have yet to be shot. Music that
radiates such an enormous and authentic passion
in every single minute, that one cant help but
completely abandon oneself to it. And honestly:
Can there be anything more wonderful that can be
achieved through music ?
