about

Mohammed Taher, Director:

I wanted to pay homage to our first compilation album, World 1-2, with a similar intro track. In many ways Giants is a spiritual successor to World 1-2 and its philosophy. I asked our in-house rock band, Super Strikers, to create a new track inspired by Andi Bissig's Waldfest, the intro track for World 1-2. We combined this introduction with Manami-san's track to reinforce the notion that this is a collaborative album from top to bottom, not just a collection of commissions.

Kevin Ragone (Super Strikers), Drummer:

It was an honor for Super Strikers to be asked to kick off the album, with an original band arrangement no less. With no particular band member leading this one, we took inspiration from Andi Bissig’s Waldfest (from Brave Wave’s first album, World 1-2) to create a track that serves as a short overture, pulling the listener in for the experience to come. The track begins delicately, to create atmosphere with auxiliary percussion and synthesizer static, and eventually creeps in with more melodies inspired by the rest of the album. By the time the full drum set is playing, the parts are so deliberate and required so much repetition to record that it took me into a bit of a trance. I only hope it has a similar effect on the listener! As it continues, the trajectory of the drums make the transition into Manami-san's original track as seamless as possible.
