IT Posthumus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ES Posthumus was a music group from Los Angeles that was founded in 2000 by the brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten. The ES in the name of the group stands for Experimental Sounds . Due to the death of Franz Vonlichten in May 2010, Helmut Vonlichten announced the end of the group in July.

style

The musical style of the group combines orchestral and choral sounds with percussion and elements of electronic music.

The music of ES Posthumus is in part strongly reminiscent of film music and for this reason has already been used in some movie trailers, including trailers for Spider-Man ( Pompeii ), Matrix Reloaded and Planet of the Apes . Furthermore, the title Nara of her first album Unearthed serves as the theme song for the TV series Cold Case - No victim is ever forgotten .

Cartographer

Cartographer is the second album by ES Posthumus. The release of the album was originally planned for 2006, but for unknown reasons the date was postponed several times until the album was finally released in early 2008. On Cartographer , ES Posthumus are using for the first time in addition to orchestra and choir also a solo vocal part, which is contributed by the soprano Luna Sans . The album consists of two CDs, with the second CD being composed of remixed versions of the first CD. In the remix versions, the solo vocal parts are replaced by choral singing and solo instruments. The sound of the second CD is therefore more similar to the first album Unearthed .
