Single: Crazy Popsongs on Piano
Crazy Popsongs on Piano
Das erste Solo Piano Projekt, auf dem ich mich dem Covern von Popsongs widme. Man nehme z.b. alte Dancehall-Klassiker und interpretiere sie im New Age Piano Stil. So klingt das dann ;O)Album: No Fear Required
No Fear Required
Five years after the release of his first solo album, Martin Herzberg returns with another instrumental journey providing the score for our own individual motion pictures in life. The album “No Fear Required” begins where “Silent Mirror Inside” ended, but it’s more than just a simple sequel. Four unique singers, Yvonne Enrique, Ulrike Knorr, Franziska Danneberg and Jana Tarasenko, gave their voice to five of the most outstanding track on the album. Now, the variety of the sound is wider but still within the typical deep and melancholic spectrum we are already familiar with. “No Fear Required” mixes Trip Hop with Filmmusic and if you listen closely you will also witness some Pop, New Age and even R&B influences.Just like the first album, “No Fear Required” was completely produced in Martin’s hometown Berlin and this time you can read the album as a direct response to the living in an
urban environment which is dominated by concrete and noise. When the coverphoto for “silent mirror inside” was shot on Mount Manganui in New Zealand, the cover of the second album shows an impression that fits the prisoner-in-a-city-theme best – a street lighted by cars and no horizon ahead. Nevertheless there’s “no fear required” as we still know from the no.1 track of his debut album: “Ocean is Near!” – and every metropolis has it’s boundaries…

Album: Silent Mirror Inside
Silent Mirror Inside
In 1999, Martin Herzberg started to work on his first LP “Silent Mirror Inside”. In the beginning, he didn’t expect the project to take him four years to finish it, but it did. In the Quest for the most homogeneous compilation of tracks, countless changes were made during the process of song-selection. But at last, 14 songs were chosen to create an album which is powerful, deep and melancholic at the same time. Chill-Out meets New Age, Trip-Hop touches Filmmusic.Now, he is often asked what term describes his music the best and the answer is: Chill-Score.
Grown up in a musical surrounding of the new age-solo pianists George Winston and Ludovico Einaudi, Martin was also influenced by Chill-Out musicians like Moby or Air. Simultaneously, the work of Composers for Filmmusic, such as Thomas Newman or Hans Zimmer became a crucial part of his passion for music.
As follows, it became obvious that his own work would try to combine at least two genres in the most perceptive way. The result was “Silent Mirror Inside”. An album which includes the most personal and emotional songs Martin has written till that day.
Luckily, the album became an independent-music success in his hometown Berlin and a few hundred copies were sold without the help of expensive advertisement. Now the first voices from overseas are rising and the reviews are very positive. “There’s a lot to discover!”...that’s why the album is now available at CD Baby...to continue its way across the Atlantic.
