S.A.W., the collaborative project of ex-Tangerine Dream member Johannes Schmoelling and renowned sound design luminary Kurt Ader, presents their second album, “Hydragate.” This compelling release combines elements of ambient, electronica, and cinematic sound collages, weaving a tapestry of emotions across its 10 tracks. From epic power to lightness, S.A.W. effortlessly navigates different emotional energies, captivating listeners with their musical prowess.

Throughout “Hydragate,” the four musicians traverse a sonic landscape that encompasses both familiar and uncharted territory. Tracks like “Surface Illusions” and “Hydragate” showcase the composed melody lines reminiscent of Johannes Schmoelling’s work during his time with Tangerine Dream. These pieces evoke a sense of familiarity for fans of electronic-rock legends while adding a fresh twist to the sound.

On “Whispering Colours,” S.A.W. demonstrates their dexterity in programming sequences that transport listeners into a trance-like world. The intricate sound design, a result of Kurt Ader’s expertise as a sound designer for renowned synthesizer manufacturers and collaborations with artists like Nightwish, Dream Theater, and Michael Cretu, adds depth and texture to the compositions.

“S.A.W. also explores filigree sound design on ‘Sphere,’ creating an immersive sonic experience. The album’s diversity shines through on ‘Inside Out,’ where alienated ethnic sounds blend seamlessly with the dark ambient soundscapes of the present. “Master of Time” pays homage to the electronic music of the 1970s while infusing it with a contemporary edge.

In addition to their atmospheric and melodic compositions, S.A.W. offers rhythmic tracks that add a dynamic element to the album. “Distant Memories” and “Stop And Go” showcase their ability to create captivating rhythms that propel the listener forward.

“Hydragate” was meticulously developed and recorded in various studios across Munich, Berlin, Mannheim, and Hitzacker. The album’s production involved the use of various samples, analog drum machines, modular and digital synthesizers, resulting in a rich and immersive sonic landscape.

With “Hydragate,” S.A.W. demonstrates their expertise in crafting evocative soundscapes and their ability to transport listeners to new sonic dimensions.
