“Where do we put all the words that held us captive? We put them in a bottle post and send them out into the open sea. Back on land, there is fluttering in the space of spaces. Corners and edges crumble away in tumultuous layers. Let us take the time that the melos urges us to take, let us entrust him with our voice. Sensually coded sequences of notes disrupt the free flow of our thoughts. Cranes hop and counter common notions of progress. Hopping instead of marching. Jumping instead of stomping. Up into the sky. From 3/4 to 4/4 time and back again. With hissing and quiet humming. Do we like it better up here? Where do we come from, where are we flying to for the winter? No more getting lost: Wrap your words. Our hearts are light. Slow and deep beat based on a warm fundamental sound. Crunchy bass melos. Clear bell-shaped organ synths, accentuated by subtle vocals. Alluring and delicate lines. 138 BPM. Where do the words that held us captive come from? Let’s put them in a bottle post and send them out into the open sea. Let’s free ourselves from all words and sing bluntly wherever it takes us. Let’s take the time that Melos urges us to take. Let’s entrust our voices to him”. (r-ecords)

“Velvety longing, full of clarity, warmth and harmony. We revolve around each other, the airy melos is like a bond connecting us, making us buzz. The straight beat gently pushes forward. Just like you. We strive for the same thing. For this one moment. Will we ever get there? SUMmerSUMmer by R. Schappert is the second release published by the label r-ecords on KOMPAKT Digital Distribution. Seven tracks bring together personal expectations of the summer of 2025. The pace changes constantly, as do impressions and emotions. Speed & dream, movement, dance and thoughtfulness follow each other closely. Life gains momentum. ‘My dream is the other side of the end. You know this is the truth.’ Individual lines of text by R. Schappert, spoken and sung by AI voices, set atmospheric accents. We don’t want to decide on a mood, the future is too uncertain. At the same time, we run in different directions. This journey sounds like an audio book of our ideas and feelings. Are we moving forwards or backwards? This album combines introspective electronica with danceable emotionality. It invites the listener to be carried away – by the rhythm and melos. In the now, in perhaps the most beautiful contradiction of the summer.” (r-records)
