Central to the album, which refers in its title to a joyous jump, is the ambition to translate an ephemeral practice into recorded matter. Fixed but never static, Kapriole is informed by intimate and detailed listening situations and sound practices like ASMR or the acoustically sheltered world of noise cancelling headphones. And while it is apparent that Hofmann has a deeply rooted understanding of technology and its abundant possibilities, Kapriole is a tender and almost analogue feeling affair. The human voice occupies a central role in the musical configuration of the album: quirky repetitions, hushed fragments and poetic statements, circling topics like communication, mobility, and immersion occupy the album’s eight tracks. The result is a sonorous sensation, which, in its scarcity, paves the way for meticulously crafted and delicate soundscapes. Kapriole as a joyous jump which is technological as much as it is emotional.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* edition of 300 copies\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* graphic desing by Karan Kobel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* including download codes on cards\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePress \/ Promotion\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*release will be featured via the various outlets of zweikommasieben Magazine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Präsens Editionen \/ zweikommasieben mailing list = 2000 subscribers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSocial Networking\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePräsens Editionen – Facebook = 1080 likes \/ Insta = 1500 \/ Spotify (Playlist) = 1700 subscribers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ezweikommasieben – Facebook = 6400 likes \/ Insta = 6800 \/ Twitter: = 1050 followers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 – Sprungfeder B1 – Teleprompter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 – Hazy Flock B2 – Ensalada\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 – Constant B3 – ANR Melodrama\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 – Feaci \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA5 – ANR Interlude\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Präsens Editionen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41477838438556,"sku":"PE-027","price":19.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_d89c2a1e-08ee-4c91-8823-68d7710963ef.jpg?v=1645985164","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/leo-hofmann-kapriole","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
