'The Second Coming' will be released in June 2025 and is dedicated to the energetic potential unleashed by the cumulative effect of continuous practice of ancient breathing techniques. "When we are in love or when we activate our heart through breathing techniques and share this energy with others, this connection creates a field. This energy coming from the centre of the individual distinguishes us from dead matter. Is it the purpose of our biological existence to generate this special energy and keep it alive?"
GIGI, where the 'g' is pronounced as in guitar, was born Christian Haudej in Austria, where he started playing bass in a punk rock band at the age of 15 and later completed a master's degree in jazz guitar before moving to Berlin and intensifying his interest in experimental electronic and rhythmically complex music. Within the breakcore niche, he was an active part of the Berlin music scene with the duo 'Übergang' and released on the Detroit label 'Lowres'. Since 2014, he uses the pseudonym inaud1bl3 and became a lead singer for the first time since his punk rock days. Since 2019, he has released six albums and two EPs on the 'generate and test' label of Austrian electronic musicians 'Farmers Manual'.
Staying true to his eclectic approach, inaud1bl3 combines different genres on 'The Second Coming', but this time more than ever with a singer/songwriter approach. "My lyrics are partly diary-based and tell an intimate, personal story," explains the artist, "which is why I decided to release under the name GIGI". The tasteful stylistic choices of the individual songs on 'The Second Coming' blend organically into a driving and flowing whole that forms a coherent entity. Clocking in at just under 35 minutes, the collection of catchy tunes is densely packed with content, but still leaves room to breathe.
"I began exploring the ancient science of yoga in 2000 and made it a daily practice 12 years ago. Sitting in the lotus position and continuously repeating the breathing exercises for long periods of time had an enormously intense effect, with initially overwhelming energetic sensations. Over the years I have developed a certain routine in dealing with these extreme sensations".
Based on his individual experiences of inner transformation gained through this self-taught alchemy, GIGI writes profound, meaningful philosophical summaries and combines them with detailed descriptions of these personal experiences to form his song lyrics.
Singing in English, GIGI creates catchy hooks and earworms with a unique voice that ranges from soulful whispers to melodic narratives to energetic shouts. The charismatic, rhythmically accentuated and sometimes expressive and emotional lead vocals are backed by elaborate harmonies or angelic choirs, sometimes joined by demonic voices.
"In the six months before I started producing the album, I improvised over a thousand song ideas and track fragments and collected them in my sound diary".
On 'The Second Coming', GIGI very selectively translates his unstoppable inner flow of intuitive inspiration into eleven rousing bangers, most of which swell at the end with increasing chorus repetitions. Arranged with attention to detail and produced to modern standards, they are often given a subtle complexity through the danceable use of odd beats.
