Announced via an open letter to his fans and music fans at large, Ferry explained what led him to craftan album of this type and also what his inspirations were behind its creation. Amidst his hectic touringschedule, the FERR project and this debut studio album ‘As Above So Below’ is a catalogue of workthat reflects a deeper side to Ferry, as a producer, a DJ, a husband and a father, it shows the personand how he manages to balance his own life and find his personal stillpoint in the world.
‘As Above So Below’ allows Ferry the space in which to express his creativity in full flow, unbound bylimitations and to fully expand on musical ideas without an end goal in mind. Explorations in samplemanipulation, field recording, and subtle distortions are abundant throughout the album, as Ferryexplores new ways to bring his latest vision to life, utilising reverbs, delays, room noise and tape fluttersto build up textures that are coaxed into the field of sound over time.
Speaking further on the album and his change in approach on ‘As Above So Below’, Ferrycommented, “I normally produce with a certain structure in mind, which is mostly designed for thedancefloor amongst other things. For this album, however, I went in with a completely blank piece ofpaper, shut off the autopilot and just went with the flow. No rules, no overthinking. Just let it comenaturally. That was one of the biggest changes to how I approached the whole process of making thisalbum.”
As an artist who continues to challenge what it means to be an artist in dance music today, thistransparent relationship and sharing his most inward and creative thoughts with his fans, Ferry Corstenhas exhibited yet another multi-faceted side to his spectrum of interests and talents, ‘As Above SoBelow’.
