Vittoo (Performed at Sonár Music Festival, '13)

This is a live recording, captured at Ego club in Düsseldorf, June 5 1999.  The music has been created with a self written step sequencer, the PX-18, controlling  a basic sample player and effects engine, all done in MaxMSP, running on a Powerbook G3. The step sequencer had some unique features, e.g. the ability to switch patterns independently in each track, which later became an important part of a certain music software.

I found the recording on a backup disk today. It has not been edited or mastered. During the first 20 minutes of the set, and before the 'encore' the Monolake CD 'Gobi' is playing in the background.

Washed Clean

A few weeks ago, I wrote some music to accompany a whisky. The premiere was the unveiling of the Chivas Regal 18 Ultimate Cask Collection at an event in London, hosted by Chivas Master Blender Colin Scott and chef Jozef Youssef. The music was not there to simply provide background music to a swanky event; my objective was to change the way the whisky tastes. Read more here: http://www.newmusicbox.org/articles/tasting-notes/

e.m.m.a. preps her 'LA Mermaid' EP for Astral Plane with this new jewel. Lush electronics set against that club-aware rhythmic chassis. She tells us: "i think this sounds like the stars twinkling above the sea...."
