What Do European Nightclubs Have in Common with Classical Music? After Millions of Streams, Berlin Composer-Pianist Meredi Is Shattering Stereotypes
Berlin-based composer-producer-pianist Meredi joins me on the Classical Post podcast to discuss the musical fusion of German nightclubs with a classical music backbone. In essence, this is her new album called Trance, released on the label Modern Recordings. As an artist who has garnered millions of streams online between all of the various digital services, ELLE magazine declares, "Meredi composes music which shines like stars."
Electronic music in its various iterations is ubiquitous now, but there's a slice of this known as trance that I remember experiencing in Europe on a number of occasions in London, Paris, and Vienna. It takes you to a higher mental state, perhaps even altering your mind in a positive way.
Meredi takes her classical training and approaches this very European nightclub sound, resulting in a passionate recording to let others experience a different state of mind, lose a sense of time, and become one with their surroundings.
In this episode, we speak on getting "high" on music, differences between the European and American nightclubs, and how she hopes to shatter the stereotype of composers today.
Listen to the podcast to learn about the trance genre and tap into energy emitted from this music that could just get you through your next hard day at work.
