Waldeck, the acclaimed musical mastermind, returns with a triumphant 12-track record, ‘The Moon and the Orient’, via Dope Noir Records. His compositions are deeply rooted in the rich electronic soundscapes with strong references to jazz, swing, and cinematic sounds that sound both timeless and transcendent.
‘The Moon and The Orient’ is a polished offering with poignant instrumentation and captivating vocals, where each note serves as a brushstroke in a larger musical landscape. The album invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world where sound and story intertwine.
From the beginning of the record to the very end, Waldeck beautifully blends intriguing rhythms with more electronics that keep the tension high. The elegant arrangements led the album to be a fulfilling listen.
Waldeck comments on the album release, “The orient is a wonderful place of stories and imagination. I also like the idea of genies which seem to be the personification of the saying “be careful what you wish for”.
