New music from De Antiquis et Novis

De Antiquis et Novis is the musical project of Matthias Schorer who handles composition, production and synthesisers with Edi Schorer adding touches of electric guitar. Together they create stunning cinematic soundscapes full of rich textures and delightful writing.

Producing at their studio in Munich, they draw influence from the likes of Christopher von Deylen, Schiller, Blank & Jones, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream to create their own unique sound. Using a vast collection of vintage synths as well as more modern ones, they offer an original electronic sound that sees them also collaborate with musicians across Europe and Asia.

With a new album, Afterglow, set to drop next month, the artist shares the final single ahead of the full-length release. The track, called “Calm”, offers a rare outing where the artist incorporates both acoustic and electric guitars in the instrumentation to add additional colour to the sound while still staying true to the chilled out vibe that’s at the core of the style.

Opening the song with the lyric “I don’t want to run for another day”, the music captures the mood everyone feels when they’re overwhelmed. Designed to soundtrack the letting go of stresses and encourage a relaxing mood, on the aptly titled “Calm” De Antiquis et Novis delivers an expansive composition that instills a sense of bliss when it’s needed most.
