Elane

Arcane (music Inspired By The Works Of Kai)

"ARCANE" - this is the mystical and secret facet of music. Being Elane's 4th album it rests up on 3 musical pillars: First there is the medieval-folkloristic side, which goes along with ELANE from the beginnings. With ARCANE also the aspects of world music have an increasingly effect on the music of ELANE. Furthermore slightly progressive rock elements play a supporting role on ARCANE. In contradiction to the last album "The Silver Falls" those elements are used restrained to emphasize the folkloristic overall impression of ARCANE. ARCANE comes as aesthetically designed Digipak with text booklet. Kai Meyer was born in 1969. The German author has published round about 50 books since 1993, e.g. bestsellers as DARK REFLECTIONS trilogy and THE WAVE WALKERS trilogy. Worldwide his circulation is about some million copies. His works were translated into approximately 28 languages for editions in USA, Great Britain, Japan, Italy, France, Spain and Russia. Kai Meyer's breakthrough was in 1994 with "DIE GEISTERSEHER" followed by "DIE ALCHIMISTIN" in 1998. The first part of his actual ARCADIA series in English language ("ARCADIA AWAKENS") is scheduled for September 2011. Kai Meyer and ELANE met first in 2006 at a concert. "Kai Meyer's novels were captivating me since many years. He brings it off to attract his readers always anew with extraordinary characters and unexpected twists. Working with Kai now is a great honour." says keyboarder Nico Steckelberg. "The many facets of his stories were impressing me from the beginnings! Composing with the inspiration through his books is a complete new approach for us." explains singer Joran. "Kai's themes go excellent with the atmosphere of ELANE-songs. We look forward to the new challenge in composing music to existing stories." tells guitarist Skaldir. "By now the progress and creation power during the songwriting is impressive." adds Joran. And Kai Meyer says: "I have always been an admirer of music based on a book - already in the 70's with Bo Hanssons album 'Lord of the Rings'. I am very pleased about having ELANE - whom I appreciate very much musically as well as personally - making my stories to something special." The music on ARCANE is inspired by Kai Meyer's novels. In 15 tracks ELANE are interpreting 5 novels and serials of the bestseller author.
