"Malers Hüs" picks up where "Biike" left off – like its predecessor, "Malers Hüs" has its origins on Föhr, with three songs and five instrumentals inspired by the tranquil surroundings of the wintry North Sea island.

However unlike Biike's electronic production, "Malers Hüs" combines Schall und Stille's trademark electronic textures with acoustic and operatic elements, courtesy of guest musicians MyLoFy (guitars, bass), Susanne Balg (vocals) and Andrea Hartenfeller (vocals, alto recorder); the result is a new organic sound that creates a world of its own.

Personnel:

Susanne Balg - lead vocals on "Fish Out Of Water"

Andrea Hartenfeller - lead vocals on "The Mill" and "The World That I See“, recorder on „Hedehusum"

Stephan Kleinert -synthesizers, organ, programming, drums, percussion, backing vocals

MyLoFy -acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars

Recorded at Malers Hüs, Oldsum on Föhr, February 2024 Overdubs added at The Gallery, Erl, August/September 2024

All tracks written and produced by Stephan Kleinert except "Hedehusum“ (Kleinert/MyLoFy/Hartenfeller)
