Lee Schornoz will release his third solo album Requiem Londinium (Electronic Version) on Friday October 13th, 2023. The musician, who was born in Freiburg and lives in Bern, wrote the music during his six-month stay in London in 2016. The sketches were created using experimental loops and sound collages. Schornoz' added five tracks of detuned or altered guitar sounds to nearly all of the tracks to create a dark, diffuse mood to contrast with the instrument and orchestral samples.
After completing studies of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, he decided in 2020 to design choral and opera-voice arrangements for his version. He produced this in his own studio with Debbie Miller, Guido Philipona, Ida Elena De Razza and soprano Nikolina Pinko. On other pieces, the guitarist added a chamber music ensemble and cantor Jean-Charles Gonzalez. Gonzalez recites versions in Latin of the funeral mass and excerpts from the Apocalypse of St. John.
