  Lee Schornoz presents his second solo album
  after 22 years. In search of meaning and
  inspiration, he began a seemingly endless
  journey at the end of 2014. It led him via India,
  Australia and London to Namibia and finally
  back to his homeland, Switzerland.
  The new album "London Tapes" is so called
  because, at least in spirit, digitally created
  recordings were put on analog tapes, although
  this is not (completely) the case with this album.
  And also because Lee was in London and was
  looking for a way back with very simple song
  sketches. In a studio in northern Namibia, singers
  and rappers contributed song ideas in their local
  language. Lee received additional support from
  an authentic Afro-Reggae guitarist from the same
  region. Schornoz took another year with the
  release. He used this time to fine-tune the
  recordings in his hybrid studio.
  ...
  In addition to mainly analog peripherals, Lee also
  used a real tape machine for the song "Mexico
  Calls". The sonic design of the songs was laid out
  with a lot of echo and reverberation in order to
  clarify impressions of the vastness he
  experienced on his long journey.
  Lee's new record has become a lot quieter than
  much of what you already know from him. It's
  the side of him that seems unknown to many and
  remains rather hidden. A common denominator
  is that Lee Schornoz once again confesses to the musical loner: like an elephant bull he once turned his back on his herd for an indefinite time. He went
  for the sheer reason of learning something new on a relatively lonely trip. Now he is back with an
  album that illustrates his numerous experiences.
