Saros: Intelligent ambient downtempo.


Joerg Huettner founded "Saros" back in 1998 together with DJ Jan Osh as a Goa/Ambient project. After 8 months of work they already had their first live gig in front of an enthusiastic crowd in December of the same year. In 1999 first CD compilation releases followed on the German based label "Zoomia".

In 1999 Joerg went on solo with "Saros", focusing more and more on ambient and downbeat tracks. During this time the first album "reaching out to the other world" was released solely on MP3 websites--including MP3.com and peoplesound.com--garnering many of rave reviews.

In 2001 and 2002 further CD compilation releases followed on "Waldorf Records", the label of the world famous Germany synth company Waldorf, as well as on Ceiba Records, USA, in 2003.

The 2nd album "Soundscapes" was produced in 2002 and 2003. Short after that his works even brought him in touch with LA based Hollywood composers Klaus Badelt (e.g. "k-19", "time machine", "pirates of the caribean") and Hans Zimmer ("Gladiator", "The Lion King", "Dark Knight") with whom he collaborated on several projects. Especially with Hans he continued to work with until today, especially after his relocation to Santa Monica in 2007. Joerg was part of the music production team of such blockbusters as "The Ring 2", "Batman Begins", "The Simpsons", "Vantage Point", "Babylon AD" and "Thick as Thieves".

The new album "labyrinth" is the music for an art exhibition event in Germany in 2008 presenting the art of Canada based artist Richard A. Kirk and it takes "Saros" to the next level. For collectors, this album also is available as CD in a beautiful Digipak packaging with the entire artwork from Richard A. Kirk and a novel excerpt of Tim Mizelle based on Richard's drawings.
