Alexander IV x Fractures – Fallin
Fallin’ – the Perfect Anthem for the Indian Summer: A Blend of Organic and Electronic Vibes
Alexander IV is one of many pseudonyms used by eclectic Dutch producer, multi-instrumentalist and illustrious tunesmith, Joris Feiertag. As a music maker largely known for his club friendly offerings, Joris uses this alter ego to delve into the more rootsical side of his sonic output – taking in hip-hop, jazz, funk and soul influences along the way.
The new single is his most uptempo and danceable creation to date, poised to become the soundtrack of the Indian Summer, capturing the essence of both organic and electronic music.
“Fallin” is a masterful fusion of acoustic and electronic elements, featuring acoustic drum breaks, field recordings, guitars, and melodic textures, seamlessly intertwined with syncopated warm synths and deep reese bass. This combination creates a unique soundscape that is both refreshing and captivating, making it an ideal tune for late summer days and nights.
Drawing inspiration from renowned artists Caribou and Catching Flies, Joris has crafted a track that embodies a certain simplicity while maintaining a rich, layered sound. “I wanted to make it feel organic yet electronic, with catchy hooks and complementary elements,” he explains.
The creation of “Fallin” took an exciting turn when he felt something was missing in the instrumental version. The solution came in the form of a collaboration with Mark (Fractures), whose acapella vocals added the perfect finishing touch. Joris’ innovative approach to incorporating Mark’s voice involved reversing, speeding, and chopping up the vocals to create a unique auditory experience.
“This is a special track for me with a lot of love for details,” Joris shares. “I had a lot of fun creating this piece, and I hope you like my new tune!”
Alexander IV has garnered a dedicated following with his previous releases, praised for their distinct style, something brand new yet retro; uncomplicated yet masterful.
