After Laibach in 2006, Die Form was invited in June 2007 to the Bach Fest in Leipzig to present a selection of J.-S. Bach's works (pieces) totally re-arranged in an audio-visual show.
Slipping gradually from murmur to noise, from the caress to chaos, once again in the search of a certain mystical form in the expression of desire and death, rummaging in the entrails and wandering in the labyrinth of the memory...
Die Form had already revisited and interpreted "Serenade" (used as a jingle for a TV broadcasting on CANAL+) and "Der Tod und das Mädchen" (on "Duality" album) of F. Schubert.
13 tracks for computer, samplers, synthesizers, etherwave Theremin, vocoders, voice (Éliane P.), videos, dance & performances (with Sabine Seume).
"BACH PROJECT" CD
Release date : 25th of January 2008Â (TRISOL)
"Philippe Fichot's French art project DIE FORM has always been a lot more than just a music band. For 25 years DIE FORM has represented an unrivalled fusion of music, performance, photography and experimental films. After numerous collaborations with other artists and more than 30 albums, many video clips and short films plus two volumes of photographs, the unique interpretation of Bach compositions - as it was performed live in Leipzig on the occasion of the Bach week in 2007 - is released on a new album.
 Once again organic and electronic noise with neo classic elements is united with experimental structures with classic harmonies and vocals. And also again cold technical elements are confronted with the warm and erotic voice of Eliane P. Due to the sensational success of these Bach interpretations the performed songs are now presented on an official DIE FORM album and unfold the irresistible charm of the original performance on the basis of harmony and rhythm.
 DIE FORM has long escaped the limits of dark electronics and presents a mature and genuine album that no aficionado of experimental sound worlds can elude.
