_description.: Otti Albietz and BBE present his third album 'And the
Voices'. This album forms the culminating piece in a
musical trilogy which Otti describes as his initial
statement, helping to identify and establish his
musical persona as well as providing a plane from which
future work will evolve. 'And the Voices' embodies and
ties up loose ends and ideas that have been developing
for the last 6 years.
These steps began with his first album 'One' (2011),
followed by 'Bubbytone II' (2013), and have now been
brought full circle with this third album. Since
producing music under his own name, Otti has been
writing arrangements to his songs with the aim of
performing them live with a group of musicians. For
'And the Voices', Otti directed the arrangements and
co-wrote the parts with each musician during
rehearsals.
This album shows a continuing relationship with friend
and artist Thad Skews. On the album Thad plays bass and
sings backing vocals, and is the hand behind the album
artwork. For the recording of 'And the Voices', and for
future live performances, Otti has invited friend and
musician James Gulliver on drums and backing vocals.
Completing the studio performance is the inspiring
addition of long-time musical supporter and session
musician Darren Morris, playing synth and co-producing.
As well as these, occasional vocal appearances are made
by Otti's partner Anna Graebe, who has performed on
both 'One' and 'Bubbytone II'. 'And the Voices' was
recorded to completion in two days over the 15th album
was engineered and recorded with Harvey Summers, whom
Otti worked with on 'Bubbytone II', at Harvey's
Broadoak Studios in East Sussex. The band performed all
parts live, including all lead vocals.
Otti's instinct and premise for this album was that the
best performances were those that felt right rather
than those which focused on a precise technicality.
This attitude is the driving force behind the band
dynamic and the recording process, and has allowed for
spontaneous musical interactions throughout the
creation of the album. Many of the songs you hear on
the album are first takes and all others were captured
within, at most, four takes.
