The result of two long-time friends reconnecting in music improvisation.  A little bit wiser, a little bit calmer, exploring the soul of marimba and drums enriched by analog synth.

An improvised rehearsal session in preparation for my upcoming electroanalog live set. 

While the set is far from "complete" and "perfect", I made a conscious choice to release it anyway. It is a perfectly imperfect musical crystallisation in time, capturing a complex mood, strangely intricate soundscapes, and a multi-layered moment of "locking-in" through the medium of improvised electronic music-making. 

Releasing this performance is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi, which gently points out the fundamental incompleteness inherent in life and nature. There is unfathomable beauty, intricacy, and vulnerability in opening up to that insight. As a hardcore perfectionist, allowing myself to surrender completely to this principle has been the greatest mountain to climb in my entire life. 

Special thanks to Sebastian Mullaert & Be Svendsen for making me come to terms with that deep truth and for inspiring me to go all the way. Also, I want to thank my friends Raphi & Philipp, my analog synth heroes, for opening the portals of analog synthesis to me ;)

This track is the collaborative product and musical crystal of the "Collective Electroacoustic Musicking: Loop-based Improvisation and Music Production" workshop series, a 2024 spring collaboration with Achronon and DKOLLEKTIV. 

Throughout 5 days, we practically explored the different phases in the creative process of musicking: 
- exploring hybrid sound design with acoustic, analog, and digital instruments
- deep diving into the technical details of setting up an electroacoustic multi-hub jam station
- cultivating improvisation literacy by listening and attuning to each other while laying down a common path in musicking
- producing a track with the collected loops, recordings, and ideas

It was a beautiful process and I am grateful for the loving commitment to the process of everyone involved!

A refined version of my 2024 live set. 

First performed at Atlas Bar & Gallery in March, the set has been organically self-evolving. Planted in spring, the musical seed has grown into a Bonsai, showing me where it wants to go. I only nourish the soil, water the plant, and cut the leaves with loving care and consistency.

A twofold path laid down in walking, this live set is the musical thread in counterpoint to my master thesis in cognitive science on emergent self-organization.

A.LIVE Set @Atlas Bar & Gallery, Vienna // 2024 12 06

For an extended weekend, music aficionados across the electronic and acoustic spectrum were invited to celebrate the arrival of spring with a 5-day electroacoustic jam camp at the VEWA creative hub in Dudelange, Luxembourg. 

Inspired by my background in Anthropology, Cognitive Science, and Consciousness Studies, we investigated the relation of music and mind, exploring the creative feedback loop between the two and discovering the inner world of experiences that arise through musicking together. 

Incubated in Vienna and nurtured during the USINA Festival 2024, this event has undergone meticulous development and refinement over the summer months. We continued exploring the vision of an electroacoustic live loopers collective, fostering a collaborative environment where musicians of all backgrounds can share their passion and knowledge. Guided by the central question - how can we resonate with the potentials that want to emerge - we embarked on an immersive journey into the art of musicking as living beings, researchers, and musicians alike.

Skill level was not a prerequisite for participation. All were welcome to join us in this celebration of music and creativity.

Musicopoiesis: music effortlessly arising by itself. 

At the beginning, there is a mood with the potential for a spark. Igniting the spark means answering to its call, attuning to its frequency, and channeling its energy through creative self-expression. Mediated in music improvisation, the free flow of a creative spark transduces complex emotions and crystallizes them into music.

The ineffability of musical inspiration and its raw transformational power have intrigued me since my first experiences of ecstatic musical flow. For over 15 years, I have been on a mission to carefully design the conditions that can receive the spark when it arises. My electroacoustic music studio is designed as a resonator, fine-tuned to potentiate creative inspiration and enable the fusion of self and world in a co-emergent musicopoietic dance.

After years of prototyping (configuring musical gear, studying various music genres, cultivating improvisation literacy, and distilling my musical essence), this session is a genuine breakthrough experience and an important milestone on the journey toward my vision of a fully integrated, electroacoustic marimba live looping setup.

Phantasmagoria

­- Rise of The Fallen -­

When the whitest of all birds loses its wings 
When the snake betrays the mother of all things 
The day when compassion, friendship and love 
Are unleashed by thyself like an obsolete glove

When spoken word means broken word 
Stabbed in the back by a bloody‐rusty sword 
When the brave one dies of a broken heart 
When we go to the end instead of the start

When a child has no right
To be childish anymore
When those who are right
Have to fear what we call law 
When we means me thus uneasy to see 
When all that was will never be

Time has come for men to fall
To bend for their master, no will at all 
Kneel down, get saddled, get ready for a ride 
Mastery of men was men's loss of their pride

Laughter on the cheek, ringing of the bell 
Finally break through, end this vicious spell 
Back to the darkness, to where we belong 
Guided by the light we feel so strong

Nil desperandum, accept the corrigendum
We, lost soldiers whose soul has been sold 
Will witness our triumph, enlighted by freedom 
No more weight on our shoulders, ready to unfold
