You Only Need To Know How It Feels To Believe

Telebossa's Nicholas Bussmann is, once again, after 2012's Like You (MINIMAL 013CD/LP), transforming into Nicholas Desamory to release You only need to know how it feels to believe - a house album of such warmth and rough elegance, it will leave the scene all excited. House has always been an open genre, sampling, adapting, and incorporating other styles. On You only need to know how it feels to believe, it's the reduced string and vocal arrangements that lead to this album's specific sound - the warmth - and evoke at the same time the great Norman Whitfield and the legendary Arthur Russell. This is how house music has to be in 2016! Nicholas Bussmann's career has brought manifold works into being, including collaborations with Chico Mello as Telebossa, an acclaimed mélange of Brazilian songwriting, precise electronics, and minimal music, and with Werner Dafeldecker as Rydberg (MONO 092CD, 2015). In addition, together with drummer Martin Brandlmayr (Radian) as Kapital Band 1, Nicholas Bussmann has released two complementary electro-acoustic albums: 2 CD (2003) and Playing by Numbers (2007). In 2010, he staged a concept for a modernized opera with Barnes Dance. Nicholas Bussmann is a conceptual musician and composer. Originally a cellist, he has since expanded his practice to a wide range of musical genres, from electronic to conceptual art. He sometimes works as a composer for film. As curator he has worked at Berlin Documentary Forum, MaerzMusik, the Shanghai Biennale, and the HKW Berlin. He is organizer of the annual Grand Prix d'Amour songwriting contest.
