Mysteries of Dawn (a double Album)

by Gert Emmens

supported by

Paul Asbury Seaman Artists associated with Dutch EM label Groove Unlimited continue to be the tip of the spear for Berlin School music in the 21st century. Gert Emmens’s latest album offers further evidence to justify that statement. Its big, almost orchestral sound brings to mind the classic EM albums by Jean-Michel Jarre in the 1970s. Amazing how Emmens has taken an ordinary, daily occurrence and turned it into an epic. Generously long (five tracks over 13 minutes!). Cinematic. And magical. Favorite track: Moments before the sun starts it’s daily journey.

About the two dedicated tracks:
CD1 track 05 Until we meet again (for Anton)
Anton was the father of my ex-wife, therefore my ex-father-in-law and the grandfather of my son.
He passed away on December 18, 2022 after a long period of suffering.
Many beautiful memories will remain, and he’s in my heart forever, with love.

CD2 track 06: The final dawn (for Hans Moret)Hans Moret was the host of a Dutch radio show playing electronic music.
Through the years we became more and more friendly and close with eachother.

During the last period of his life, Hans suffered from pancreatic cancer.
After he told me there was no hope anymore and he would spend his remaining time in a hospice,

I composed this track for him in different versions and let him decide which version of it would be on this album.
Eighteen days later, on April 12 2022, Hans passed away.
The music was played at his funeral.
