"Beyond brilliant... A brave push into the future." (Mark Prendergast, author of The Ambient Century).

Lazy Arc is the fourth album by Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Tim Story, reflecting both 15 years of musical collaboration and 30 years of friendship. Recorded at Tim’s home studio in Ohio during the same sessions that produced their acclaimed albums Lunz and Inlandish, but strikingly different in both form and mood from those albums’ meticulously constructed chamber music. Lazy Arc is a 50 minute, seven part suite shaped from the sessions’ more ethereal moments, the intuitive playing that happens upon a beautiful sonic texture, and then sustains until it becomes its own form.

"The sound of Roedelius’ piano and keyboard playing, long beloved by the many fans of his work with Cluster and Harmonia, is at the center of the music – the revolving chords and graceful melodies will be familiar to anyone who has heard his solo Selbstportrait albums. Here, that sound is subtly and progressively altered and augmented by Story’s electronics, often in real time, weaving a stranger fabric. Story’s careful editing creates a flow out of these discretely floating moments, slowly building, and saving its deepest moments for the very end – the final two movements, almost surprisingly simple and effortlessly beautiful, stand as career highlights in either musician’s long and celebrated discographies."

Lazy Arc is available in its original limited first edition of just 750 cd's, signed and numbered by the artists, in a stunning large-format package. Lazy Arc is also available as a digital download with a digital-only bonus track here.
