Ferdinand Gerhards

Working on a new project where I think the music should be heard only via earbuds/headphones.   Experimental, drone, noise, unclassifiable.
Not ambient.   Not industrial.   But 100% me.

Espèces d'espaces

Here, somewhere. 

A collaboration with Our Forgotten Future, who also provided the cover art. 

He laid down these wonderful ambient textures as a canvas to build on, then it took me 2 months to figure out how to take this sense of movement and progression and elevate it. I've been experimenting a lot with low-pass gates as a way to make rhythmic elements from drones and textures and this was natural way to build up this piece, by processing the source materials in multiple ways - rhythmically, through resonation, harmonization, and a little distortion. 

The pulse track took so many takes to get the balance of punch and motion without overloading everything else.

Somewhere, moving
