Out today on @__latency : Popol Vuh’s unreleased score for Werner Herzog reimagined by james K (@___pet___), Lorenzo Senni (@lorenzo_senni), and ML Buch (@mlbuch_).
Composed for Werner Herzog’s documentary The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (1974), this previously unreleased score by the German musical collective Popol Vuh accompanies the extraordinary flights of Swiss ski flyer and woodcarver Walter Steiner. Internationally celebrated for his record-breaking ski flying in the 1970s, Steiner (born 1951) became a two-time world champion and earned the nickname “the bird man.” Popol Vuh’s ethereal score elevates Steiner’s flights beyond the realm of sporting achievement, giving musical form to what Herzog would later call “ecstatic truth”: a poetic reality that reaches beyond objective fact toward a deeper emotional and spiritual experience.

Founded by Florian Fricke in Munich in 1969, Popol Vuh are considered one of the most influential German avant-garde groups to emerge from the progressive rock movement of the 1970s, pioneering the use of the Moog synthesizer. Beginning with Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Florian Fricke and Werner Herzog developed one of cinema’s most distinctive artistic collaborations. Across more than a decade of films—including Heart of Glass, Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo, and Cobra Verde—Popol Vuh’s scores became an essential part of Herzog’s cinematic language, shaping the immersive atmosphere and emotional intensity that define his films.
To accompany this release, three contemporary artists—james K, ML Buch, and Lorenzo Senni—revisit Popol Vuh’s original soundtrack. Their reinterpretations create a dialogue across five decades, revealing the enduring resonance of Popol Vuh’s music.

Alongside bands like Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and Can, Popol Vuh are among the most visionary groups in the history of western experimental music.
Founded by Florian Fricke in 1969, the group pioneered the use of the Moog synthesizer and gradually moved towards a more acoustic and spiritual sound, drawing on piano, guitars, percussion, and musical traditions from India, Africa, and South America. Fricke resisted labels such as "krautrock" and "new age," preferring terms like "magic music" or "cosmic space rock" when a description was needed.
Fricke was deeply involved in cinema, working with director Werner Herzog on the soundtracks to some of his most memorable films. Beginning with Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), the two Germans developed one of cinema’s most distinctive artistic collaborations. Across more than a decade of films—including Heart of Glass, Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo, and Cobra Verde—Popol Vuh’s scores became an essential part of Herzog’s cinematic language, shaping the emotional intensity that defines his work.
«Fricke was a poet first and a musician second. He made visible what would otherwise have remained mysterious and forever hidden in the images.»
— Werner Herzog
Popol Vuh’s unreleased score to The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (dir. Herzog, 1974) is out on 13 November via Latency - featuring reworks by james K, ML Buch and Lorenzo Senni.

Internationally celebrated for his record-breaking ski flying in the 70s, Walter Steiner (b.1951) became a two-time world champion and earned the nickname “the bird man.”
Werner Herzog saw Steiner not simply as a medal-winning athlete, but as someone pursuing “dreams of flight,” whose ski flying and work as a woodcarver were driven by the same desire to escape gravity.
Together, Popol Vuh’s transcendent score and Herzog’s use of slow motion stretch each flight beyond its physical limits until it becomes almost sculptural.
The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (1974) is considered as one of Herzog’s most important and enduring films. Across more than a decade of films, Popol Vuh’s scores became an essential part of Herzog cinematic language, shaping the immersive atmosphere and emotional intensity that define his work.
The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (Original Score & Variations) is out for the first time via Latency on 13 November.

Tombak und Daf sind bei ihm weit mehr als traditionelle Percussioninstrumente. Mohammad Reza Mortazavi erweitert ihre Spielweisen radikal und entwickelt daraus eine hochkonzentrierte, körperliche Musik zwischen Rhythmus, Resonanz und Transformation.
Seine Live-Sets sind präzise und gleichzeitig völlig offen – voller pulsierender Patterns, abrupter Verschiebungen und Momente, in denen sich Rhythmus fast in Fläche auflöst.
Am 14. November ist Mortazavi Teil der LATENCY LABEL NIGHT im Jazzit – gemeinsam mit dem TLF Trio und Souleymane mit einem DJ-Set.
📍 SA, 14.11.2026
🕣 Beginn 20:30 Uhr
🍸 Jazzit ab 18:00 Uhr
🎟 VVK € 16 / AK € 20 / ermäßigt € 10

Am 14. November bringt die LATENCY LABEL NIGHT drei sehr unterschiedliche Positionen aus dem Kosmos des Pariser Labels Latency ins Jazzit: Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, TLF Trio und Souleymane.
Der iranische Perkussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi treibt Tombak und Daf weit über ihre traditionellen Spielweisen hinaus und entwickelt daraus eine hochkonzentrierte, körperliche Musik zwischen Rhythmus, Resonanz und Transformation. Das TLF Trio verbindet Cello, Piano und Gitarre zu einer offenen Kammermusik zwischen Minimal Music, Free Jazz und historischen Klangwelten. Zum Abschluss führt Latency-Gründer Souleymane den Abend mit einem DJ-Set weiter.
Experimentelle Musik, Improvisation, akustische Präzision und elektronischer Sog – Ein guter Einblick in die offene kuratorische Handschrift von Latency.

TLF Trio im Jazzit.
Cello, Piano und Gitarre – und dazwischen jede Menge Raum. Das dänische TLF Trio mit Cæcilie Trier, Jakob Littauer und M. K. Frøslev bewegt sich zwischen komponierter Musik und Improvisation, Minimal Music, Free Jazz und kammermusikalischer Offenheit.
Ihre Musik wirkt weniger wie eine klassische Erzählung als wie etwas, das sich ständig neu formt: Klänge verschieben sich, Strukturen lösen sich auf, Atmosphäre wird Teil der Komposition.
Am 14. November ist das TLF Trio Teil der LATENCY LABEL NIGHT im Jazzit – gemeinsam mit dem iranischen Perkussionisten Mohammad Reza Mortazavi und Souleymane mit einem DJ-Set.

james K (@___pet___) joins ML Buch (@mlbuch_), and Lorenzo Senni (@lorenzo_senni) in reimagining Popol Vuh’s never-before-released score for Werner Herzog’s The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (1974).
Known for her distinctive approach to songwriting and sound design, the New York-based artist moves between experimental electronics, ambient textures and intimate vocals. Her ten-minute variation stretches out Popol Vuh’s piano phrases, weaving in Enya-esque vocal layers over submerged kicks and percussion.
«My interpretation is meant to extend this in-between state, mid-air, just long enough to not know whether you will stay suspended or come back down.»

Since @__latency ’s 30th release, @studiohugoblanzat is back working on the label’s graphic design, revisiting the iconic record design developed for releases 010 to 020 — at a time when Latency invited a different studio to develop the design for each set of ten records.
For this occasion, the studio has also finalized a bespoke version of its Synteca typeface system, the AV Synteca Latence, developed through VongoleTypefaces @vongole_editions the typefoundry created by the studio to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The long-standing collaboration with the Paris-based label holds a special place in the studio’s history. Over nearly a decade, Latency has been an ongoing opportunity for typographic experimentation, with different versions and explorations developed for the label feeding into the studio’s broader typographic research, alongside many other projects, and contributing to the development of Synteca.
This bespoke version brings one of these threads full circle, returning to Latency in a custom form.
It embodies one of the studio’s methods: seeing commissioned projects as opportunities for experimentation, and developing graphic tools and objects that can eventually extend beyond their original context.
Latency is a record label and curatorial platform directed by @souleymanesaid_ in Paris.

Celebrating one year of Plunge, the debut album from experimental jazz trio Flur. Cover art by Julie Mehretu.
« It is this sense of anticipation and unpredictability that makes Flur so engaging. Their ambience is cut through with unease and their dynamism combined with a loping swing » – The Guardian
