The Orff Brothers are going on tour in April and release Song for Stefania Sauer single on streaming services

The autumn release of The Orff Brothers' Šero and Bingriwingri album reissue on the Minority Records label will be followed up by the band's six-city tour in April. The Orff Brothers will perform on April 17 at the Jazz Tibet Club in Olomouc, on April 18 at the Dock in Ostrava, on April 19 at the Church of St. Janů in Opava, April 24 at the Kabinet Múz in Brno, April 25 at the Kasárna Karlín in Prague and April 26 at the Oskar Nedbal Theatre in Tábor.

The Orffs also prepared a small surprise for the fans - the release of the Song for Stefania Sauer on streaming platforms.

"We went back almost thirty years when this song was created and re-recorded it in a simple vocal arrangement with only the accompaniment of the talented young Krnov pianist Matěj Černý," says singer and guitarist Ivan Gajdoš. The contemplative Song for Stefania Sauer is accompanied by a video clip, which is supported by band members and tattoo artist and illustrator Nella Vilímková.

Manon Meurt present the single Mirrors from their upcoming album

Manon Meurt once again joined forces with a strong producer personality, and the new song was created under the baton of the British musician and producer Eddie Stevens who is known for his collaboration with Moloko, Zero 7 or Róisín Murphy.

“Eddie’s approach included splitting our songs into individual fragments. We recorded each fragment with a different sound setup for the instruments and then we combined them together again to get the final form. Our collaboration was creative, unpredictable and constantly evolving, same as the result that we’re releasing in April 2024 and that we’ll follow up with a series of concerts. Thanks to Eddie, we’ve ventured into places as a band, where no one would have probably expected us a few years ago. We’ve learned to have a truly original approach to our music that is not specific to any single genre,” the keyboard player David Tichý says.

The single as well as the whole upcoming album were recorded in the Svárov studio owned by Lukáš Martínek. The mix was done by Stevens himself in the Rancid Mead Sorbet Studios in London, mas-tering was taken care of by Darius van Helfteren (De Staat and others) in the Dutch studio Amster-dam Mastering.

“It was David who came up with the harmony idea and gradually we each composed our part. The original idea was for an instrumental song, that’s why I came with something like a whispered mantra, however, the dynamics was gradually increasing. Generally, we tend to describe moments rather than stories in our lyrics. Mirrors captures that silent moment just before dawn when the moon and the sun change guards and people open themselves up all the way in what they say—mirror-like they reflect each other,” the author of the text, multi-instrumentalist and singer Kateřina Elznicová adds.

About the label

Minority Records is a record label based in Prague dedicated to releasing music of various genres in physical formats, mostly contemporary electronic music overlapping into classical and jazz music. The primary physical medium of the record company is vinyl.

1

Acclaimed pressing quality

The production of vinyl records is carried out in collaboration with family-run vinyl pressing plant Pallas Group GmbH, established in 1948 by Karl Neumann in Diepholz, Germany. Manufactured products by Pallas Group GmbH are considered by many audiophiles as the best in the European market, due to the lowest surface noise of vinyl itself. A special PVC granulation product developed in cooperation with Pallas Group GmbH also does not contain toxic materials such as lead, cadmium or toluene.

2

Meticulous mastering

We have established cooperation with leading specialized mastering studios both in Germany and the United Kingdom with a long tradition in mastering and cutting services of press matrices for vinyl records.

3

Audiophile vinyl quality

In order to achieve audiophile quality of vinyl records, we had to avoid using the in-house pressing plant cutting services and therefore we solely work with private external mastering and cutting companies as SST GmbH in Frankfurt am Main, Abbey Road Studios in London, for the preparation of the lacquer master discs, and Pauler Acoustics in Northeim for the preparation of the Direct Metal Master discs, better known as DMMs.
