bochum welt: good programs (to be colored in yellow)

Following 2008's epic and highly-acclaimed R.O.B. Robotic Operating Buddy project, the new album (a concise 30-minute selection) by Bochum Welt Good Programs is a collection of cool, melodic tracks. Mastered at Capitol Studios Hollywood, "Gauloise Scented" starts the album with a suspended and dreamy mood, influenced by Aphex Twin and Air. "Marylebone," a beautiful solo piano track, follows and keeps the listener in a suspended meditative state. "Crescent Heights'" custom-built sounds make the track sound original, definitely recorded using vintage synthesizers and sound manglers. "The Garden (And the Chateau)" is a sentimental tune, which shows Bochum Welt's sensibility for melodies and feelings. Other very emotional tunes follow: "Suddenly Spring" and "Hills on Fire." "Laurel Canyon" is a charming vintage synthesizer-pad composition. Gianluigi Di Costanzo aka Bochum Welt has been releasing music on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex for many years in addition to Sony Music Japan and Universal. Aside from his recording commitments, he has been working for Thomas Dolby's Hollywood-based Headspace and Beatnik Inc.; companies that completed productions for Stephen Spielberg, David Bowie, and many more. Gianluigi has managed musical projects for Vodafone and Nokia and is focusing on music and multimedia for Apple. Endorsed by Moog Music, he also joined Rephlex Records' Australian and European tours and recently opened for Thomas Dolby. The original logo was designed by architect Matteo Thun.
