Divine Art/Métier Records Announces New Digital Percussion Album

In 2015 Métier released a DVD of solo percussion music performed by Danish virtuoso Mathias Reumert. “Solo – Contemporary percussion meets Art Cinema” (Métier MSVDX102) was presented in the highest artistic quality with the visuals in the hands top movie director Christian Holten Bonke. The use of special lighting and other techniques makes the DVD (also available digitally from Amazon Prime) a visual and audible treat. Mathias Reumert was awarded the Danish Critics’ Prize in 2015, a rare accolade indeed for a percussionist.

Métier are now about to issue an audio-only album based on the DVD but adding new tracks in place of the more ‘theatrical ‘ ones which require visual input. The new album will be issued only in digital download and streaming formats (including HD) and will appear on July 19 in dealers worldwide (and on the Divine Art website for pre-order by early June).
