Kintsugi

Kintsugi is the japanese art of repairing pottery with gold, silver or platinum and making broken items more beautiful and valuable than before by piecing it back together with patience, hard work and craftsmanship.

Soundwise this might arguably be my most refined sound design effort yet and appear to be my darkest EP so far, but in reality this is the exact opposite and a stoic statement of hope that trauma can be healed, tough times can be worked through and dark times will always end at some point leaving behind a refined essence and structure that can be used to build something dramatically better than before. 

These tracks are the gold that glued the pieces back together and sealed the scars for me, maybe they work for you too.

BCCO Premiere: Ackermann -  Kintsugi [SAFESP026]

I don’t just make music — I travel through it.
Every tone, every breath, every quiet moment is part of something larger.
We often chase goals, results, and recognition —
but the true prize lies in the road itself,
in those fleeting sparks when sound turns into emotion.

Ambient is my calling, yet I never let boundaries define me.
Arpeggios, textures, and the occasional random plonk have become my compass,
guiding me through the vast soundscape between chaos and calm.

I’ve learned that success isn’t what you reach —
it’s what you feel while creating.
When gratitude replaces measurement,
music stops being a project to complete
and becomes a melody to experience. 🌙

I don’t chase trends, fame, or numbers.
Music flows through me naturally — shaped by nature, the cosmos,
and the quiet hum of everyday life.
If my sounds resonate with others, that’s a beautiful bonus.
But in the end, I create because I love it.

Peace 🫶 Join me on the journey.
