{"product_id":"jan-st-werner-squares-will-fall","title":"Jan St. Werner - Squares Will Fall","description":"\u003cp\u003eBest known as one half of the innovative German electronic duo \u003cstrong\u003eMouse on Mars\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJan St. Werner\u003c\/strong\u003e also pursued a solo career as \u003cstrong\u003eLithops\u003c\/strong\u003e and under his own name. He began releasing solo music in the mid-’90s (around the time of his collaboration with \u003cstrong\u003eMarkus Popp\u003c\/strong\u003e as \u003cstrong\u003eMicrostoria\u003c\/strong\u003e), and through a series of 7 records he has innovated and explored the boundaries of electronic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWerner’s latest album, \u003cem\u003eSquares Will Fall\u003c\/em\u003e, began in 2012 as an electronic composition lasting exactly thirty minutes, created to mark the thirtieth birthday of a friend. Over time, the piece continued to evolve, eventually forming the foundation for an improvisation by \u003cstrong\u003eJustin Vernon\u003c\/strong\u003e and Jan St. Werner during Mouse on Mars’s \u003cem\u003eDimensional People\u003c\/em\u003e sessions at Vernon’s studio in Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2021, “\u003cem\u003eSquares Will Fall\u003c\/em\u003e” assumed a new form as a multidirectional loudspeaker choreography created for the Ural Industrial Biennial. Three independent layers of the composition were transmitted through loudspeakers suspended via long ropes from the circus ceiling and were continuously repositioned by the performers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2026, Werner completed “\u003cem\u003eSquares Will Fall\u003c\/em\u003e” and created the first stereo mix at Mouse on Mars’s Paraverse Studios. \u003cstrong\u003eAndi Toma\u003c\/strong\u003e (Mouse on Mars) joined the final mixing sessions, contributing bass elements that subtly expanded the work’s sonic depth. The resulting stereo version brings together more than a decade of transformations, preserving the piece’s open, cut up character while translating its spatial and performative origins into a form suitable for focused listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken together as an album, the songs are a joyous musical adventure. Understanding the complexity of the songs origins is not required; as with all that he does, Werner’s love of music and collaboration shines through in this inventive boundless listen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thrill Jockey Records","offers":[{"title":"Indie Exclusive Vinyl LP","offer_id":59421576429913,"sku":"SDZ-52369","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Indie Exclusive Clear Blue Vinyl LP","offer_id":59421576462681,"sku":"SDZ-52370","price":41.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":59421576495449,"sku":"SDZ-52371","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/369_20260914_1359_130350_736_v_0790377066517_005.jpg?v=1789399874","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/jan-st-werner-squares-will-fall","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
