Cee Sawyer Was turned on to this via Vital Weekly 1290, where it received a glowing review (couldn't agree more, having listened to it several times). An accomplished work with many surprises and rewards. Thanks for the CD (and lovely note), Tobias. Favorite track: Beginning / Being / Flying / Ending.

Jerry F "Mother of Millions" by Tobias Reber is an excellent album. The artistic instrumental pieces here combine analog and digital synthesizers, along with natural and manipulated sounds. The compositions are wonderfully non-conventional in structure, lively, and have interesting melodies placed throughout each piece. This album is perfect for adventurous listeners and multiple listens will reveal even more about each composition. The artwork also perfectly complements the music on this album. Favorite track: Beginning / Being / Flying / Ending.

JP Rossi Where would Kraftwerk be if they had gone on breaking frontiers? Probably not too far from this wild encounter between 21st century electronics, vintage analog synthesizer and musique concrete! An experience like nothing else, just have a go and listen to the full set in one go - mandatory to feel the evolution and structure building up in a radical way. Favorite track: Ending II.

Kathy Starkey This is so cool! Can't wait to hear the whole thing!!!

about

Mother of Millions is the third solo album by composer Tobias Reber. Several years in the making, it marks an evolution of his earlier solo work and leads the listener into a more primal sonic territory. Across nine distinct pieces and 72 minutes, the album oscillates between the feral and the sublime, between the profound and the bizarre. Mother of Millions manages to fuse abrasive textures with ethereal beauty to create a hypnotic experience unlike any other contemporary work of electronic music.

What a wonderful piece. Imagine a slow but steady Philip Glass-esque minimalist rhythm - then Reuter's sustained guitar notes gently yet forcefully floats in over the top. It hangs together so well, and rewards repeat listening. Well done Markus! Strange Daze Radio

This music is profoundly moving and unsettling, in keeping with the background issues of Covid and likely impending ecological catastrophe. How do I explain this to my grandchildren when they are able to comprehend what is happening to our planet ? Markus has captured my concerns perfectly. Nick Bradey
