Simon Goff & Katie Melua - Aerial Objects

Collaborative album from Grammy sound engineer, and singer-songwiter

Violinist, composer, and Grammy Award-winning sound engineer, Simon Goff, and multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter, Katie Melua, for 2022 joined forces to create their stunning collaborative album, Aerial Objects. The album via BMG Modern Recordings will be available on vinyl September 2.

The album features previously released singles "Hotel Stamba" and "Textures Of Memories" alongside new tracks "Tbilisi Airport," "It Happened," "Aerial Objects" and "Millions Of Things." An exhibition the pair attended at the iconic brutalist edifice of the König Gallery in Berlin was the catalyst for the album's thematic terrain. A discussion on the emotional effects of different spaces and architecture sparked an exploration of landscapes, both man-made and natural, and turned into experimental compositions that move, moment by moment, between the song spaces of Katie and the immersive melodies of Simon.

With Simon at the musical helm and Katie's imagination and lyrical freedom addressing how environments shape her thinking and state, this six-track collaboration record is an exploratory project of two artists searching beyond their usual musical boundaries into places unknown.

On the album, Simon says "The process of making this album has been one of discovery and giving space to each other. The sensitivity needed for this kind of process has allowed many things to surface, from us discovering the differences in how we listen to and hear music and lyrics, to our own deeply personal life experiences. The record for me is a representation of us exploring the space that exists between us and discovering a common voice from within it."
