{"product_id":"romantiq","title":"Romantiq","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkus Popp\u003c\/strong\u003e is endlessly curious and his music as \u003cem\u003eOval\u003c\/em\u003e is delightfully inventive. Since pioneering albums in the 90s \u003cem\u003esystemisch\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e94diskont\u003c\/em\u003e, Oval has continually excavated new spaces in electronic music, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew album \u003cem\u003eRomantiq\u003c\/em\u003e finds Popp delivering his most light and delicate tones to date. Like the plucking of harp strings, Popp’s organic and playful approach to sound is warm and bright. Oval continually confounds with his ability to conjure such lithe, evocative sonics from software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRomantiq\u003c\/em\u003e evolved from an audio-visual collaboration with digital artist Robert Seidel for the grand opening of the German Romantic Museum, where a huge outdoor projection covered the museum building. Popp sought a more expansive definition of the romantic, conjuring flickering images that glitch, evolve, and collapse in on one another – opulent neo-chamber music lit by the paradoxically heartwarming screen glow of social media flirtations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePopp crafted dozens of short vignettes that each sought to evoke a specific mood or emotion. Processed period instruments trace luxuriant spaces that shift from low-lit chambers to glistening palatial grandeur, glitching through past, present, and future. Swelling atmospheres emerge like perfume, rich scents flooding the senses before evaporating on the breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRomantiq\u003c\/em\u003e’s musical oxytocin is made from ancient instruments processed and edited by a modern electronic master with the utmost deftness and delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thrill Jockey","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50397531504971,"sku":"2009505","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50397535011147,"sku":"2009506","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50397528654155,"sku":"2009504","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5fce98d8-2f59-849e-bff7-2d03a129ef51_c0da6a02_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726490556","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/romantiq","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
