Since 2012 Hendrik Weber aka Pantha du Prince has dedicated himself to a comprehensive project that has long shined brighter than his other releases and which is now reaching a tentative artistic peak with Garden Gaia. After the album Elements of Light in 2012, which was recorded with The Bell Laboratory, came Conference of Trees in 2020, this time as a soloventure. What unites these three albums is that Pantha du Prince has dedicated them to theme of “humans as nature” – in the sense that humans unfold and flow out of their surroundings as bodies. Now, in August 2022, the album finally sees the light of its release. An extensive tour is already set to take place and as a foretaste of the live shows one can now listen to the album via download, streaming or by purchasing the CD and Vinyl edition.

Pantha du Prince´s second single of his upcoming album “Garden Gaia” is out now! The new  track “Blume,” which is German for “flower,” received its final polish through a conscious act of letting go.

And it was Kieldsberg’s idea to have Helena Tusvik Rosenlund sing an additional track over Hendrik Weber’s reverberated vocals. On the track Pantha further allows for extremely fragile musical moods to simply exist and bolsters them with frequencies that seem to naturally communicate with us.
