hfisch I usually don't pre-order music when there is not a single track for pre-listening. But not in this case: Guentner and Spieth are worth it (will update this when listening to the music in October).

about

Conversion, the second opus from German electronic duo Guentner + Spieth, dives deep into their shared musical roots to reinterpret them through a contemporary, nuanced lens. The result is a body of work that blends ambient expansiveness with dub-inspired detail - layered soundscapes that balance openness with structure. Unbound by conventional formats, the album moves fluidly between rhythmic depth and atmospheric stillness. Bass drums appear alongside quiet passages, carried by floating pads, carefully placed accents, and a sense of space that feels both introspective and organic. Conversion is both a tribute to shared origins and a statement of artistic evolution.

Created in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, Conversion reflects formative influences of early ambient, dub, and deep techno releases while combining them with the artists characteristic signatures. Both made their debut on the legendary Cologne label Kompakt in the early 2000s and were part of Wolfgang Voigt's trend-setting Pop Ambient series. They have since independently developed distinctive positions within electronic music: Guentner with his cinematic-atmospheric albums such as Theia and Onda on the label A Strangely Isolated Place. While Spieth heads the Affin label with its deep, hypnotic sound aesthetic, he releases a steady stream of his own works such as Irradiance, or the more recent Retrace.

Conversion is less retrospective and more a continuation of a finely tuned dialog that invites introspection with its minimalist compositions, organic hues, and cavernous depth. Each track on this "after-hours" album unfolds with deliberate subtlety, drawing the listener into an immersive experience where sound becomes both space and emotion. Between structure and expanse, density and silence, a work of quiet intensity unfolds that is club-compatible.


press reactions

“Conversion bears testament to shared provenance and lineage as well as artistic evolution.”
Igloo Magazine

“If ever there was a case for deep listening, this is it.”
Magazine Sixty

“Conversion stands as a finely tuned exploration of texture, tone, and emotional space that is equally suited for introspective listening or late-night immersion.”
Chain D.L.K.

“Deep, rhythmic, and bathed in texture, it marked the next musical evolution and a harbinger of what is to come.”
Delayed

“Textures build one upon the other to enhance dimension and symmetry, causing a mix of joy, comfort, fear and anxiety, at the hands of something found, and something lost.”
White Light // White Heat

“If you also love [as much as I do] their solo works, you will find that here, together, the multiplier is higher. They’re truly at the top of their game here, ...”
