“Music Matters” is Dzihan & Kamien’s 3rd studio album. After “Freaks and Icons” (2000) and “Gran Riserva” (2002) as well as the live recording of the dZihan & Kamien Orchestra, “Live in Vienna”, they are challenging our musical senses again. Recording for this album started about 3 years ago in San Remo, Italy, followed by sessions in the extraordinary Saal 4 Studios in Berlin and was completed at Couch Studios in Vienna in December, 2008. On this album they went into exploring songs and the melodies. The recordings were basically made in a “vintage” way- quite the opposite of the previous records, “Freaks and Icons” or “Gran Riserva”. On “Music Matters” they’ve been collaborating with the outstanding vocalist Helgi Jonsson. They perform and play almost all of the instruments by themselves, intentionaly avoiding the techniques of the past, whether it be sampling, cutting or editing. This gives them a brand new and almost atypical sound, but their uncompromised and well-know “finger print” is always there! (by soul seduction)
