As early as in the year of 2012 electronic solo artists Access To
Arasaka, Erode and Dirk Geiger started reflecting about combining their
powers and working like a real band. Their main objective was to write
more song-orientated music instead of flowing soundscapes. After months
of fruitful collaboration, they held three songs in their hands and felt
very happy about the outcome. In quick succession another three
promising tracks were finished.
Already during these sessions the idea of engaging other artists for
alternative versions of these songs came up. Only artists that were
influential and inspirational to the three actors were chosen. The good
news is that all of the favored few were on board and did striking
versions of said songs.
When everything was recorded and ready for mixing (mixing-session was
scheduled literally for the next day!), Erode´s car was broken into and
all harddrives plus backup hard drives were gone...
With nothing left and with a heavy heart the three decided to put the
project to sleep. Frustrated but grateful for the experiences and the
new made friends everybody went back to his business.
In 2016 Erode discovered some old backups in his studio and found fragments of Reports from the Abyss. First there were
just some unorganized tracks, but step by step more and more material
was brought to light. Within a few months they managed recovering all
files. So Erode and Dirk Geiger plucked up courage to walk the extra
mile and put everything together for a second time.
And now, in 2017 it´s finally completed.
Access To Arasaka, Erode and Dirk Geiger are delighted to announce, that
all tracks with all sounds and arrangements from 2012 are reassembled!
