Featuring the duo’s unique fusion of classical and electronic music
AUGUST 23, 2024 - Many attendees of Burning Man last year will be delighted to hear that Seth Schwarz and Lydgen, together as ARTEMIDES, have finally released “Matter of Time (Stars Align)”, just days before this year’s Burning Man begins. Debuted at Burning Man 2023, “Matter of Time (Stars Align)” was an instant hit, quickly spreading across USBs on the playa like wildfire. The track’s undeniable magic is no random occurrence, but rather a testament to Seth and Lydgen’s long standing journey together as both partners and artistic collaborators, and the deep musical synergy it has produced. Known for their innovative fusion of classical violin, singing and electronic music, Seth and Lydgen continue to push creative boundaries with each ARTEMIDES release.
"Matter of Time (Stars Align)” is a melodic journey that combines Lydgen’s beautiful voice with the classical elegance of the violin and the rhythm of modern organic house music. The track is deeply personal, reflecting back on the entirety of Seth and Lydgen’s romantic relationship and the wisdom they have gained together. “This track resembles one of the great wisdoms we were able to tap into while considering our long term relationship as soul mates: Some of the biggest manifestations are a matter of time - and now we see the stars align,” the duo shares.
Seth Schwarz and Lydgen’s artistic collaboration extends beyond the recording studio; their live performances are renowned for their dynamic energy and emotional intensity. With its powerful blend of emotional depth and innovative sound on full display, the live performances of “Matter of Time (Stars Align)” at Playground and PlayAlchemist were two highlights of the festival, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. Recognizing the track’s potential, the duo decided to wait and release “Matter of Time (Stars Align)” just before this year’s Burning Man, building anticipation and excitement amongst burners.
