Meredi
Trance
Album · Classical · 2021 · Modern Recordings
Joy, hope, and longing infuse Berlin-based composer, producer, and pianist Meredi’s love letter to the city’s nightclubs—places that were forced to stay closed for so long during the pandemic, but which mean so much to her. Scored for piano, strings, and synths, this beautiful album recreates the intimacy and spiritual experience of losing yourself to the ritual of dance music. “Welcome Home” invites listeners in, its rising melody and repeating piano patterns creating a trancelike atmosphere. From there, Meredi guides us on a transcendent journey through the intense, insistent “Trance”—with its thrumming bass and minimalist rhythms—to the ethereal “A Walk Into the Garden” and “When I Was You,” a deeply personal, meditative track that brings us up close to every musical and ambient detail. An exquisite homage to a city’s musical nightlife.
