Serendipity (album) by Zuckermann
"Serendipity" is an electronic music album that builds on the very idea of serendipity (sic!), i.e. “the incident of discovering something good, pleasant or useful while not specifically searching for it".
This “happy incidents” approach created an album full of surprise, unheard-of sounds, open structures, and emotional expression far beyond the dancefloor. Since Zuckermann used to be an accomplished classical pianist in a former lifetime, this includes intuitively found sound references to baroque, twelve-tone, or minimal music of the 20th century, as well as to Jazz, or to Stockhausen’s concept of spatial movement in space.
In spite of its off the wall approach, "Serendipity" manifests as a dense, abstractly poetic structure, an absorbing and meandering journey into the ever changing heart of contemporary electronic music.
