Preface:

You’d think most of these songs were written in the daylight. 

But, they coalesced in the quiet, motionless hours of the night— while my family slept. While a small wooden wall clock marked the hours. While the moon shone a little brighter than usual. 

I walked. I stared at the wall. I recorded birdsong, and the rain. I discovered new lines on my face. There were broken guitar strings, moving boxes, and tiny pink ballet slippers. I made a new, unlikely friend. I missed my dog. I smelled saltwater and sea-foam. I tinkered and refined, endlessly. I remembered people who are not here anymore. I felt like I needed to do more, and less. I thanked my wife, and held my daughters. I listened to the melodic stylings of Bill Evans and Chet Baker. 

I thought about what it takes to be real.

These tracks are not grand, or clever, or perfect. They just happened. Some feeling, some remembering. Some sentimental, some silly. A melody unearthed from a pile of voice memos.  A worn sticker on a stranger’s water bottle. A film for children. They are of small things, brought into the light. They are bookmarks. They are the dog-eared pages of a weathered paperback, marking a thoughtful passage. They are flower petals pressed between pages of a heavy coloring book, the once vibrant hues nearly faded away.

How much of this will we remember, before the color fades? Before these fragile moments in time are pushed steadily outward, away, replaced, forgotten? 

If this album were a book, you need not read it in order. You can pick up from anywhere. You can leave it open on the floor. 

I made this album to remember.
But maybe, in some way, it remembers you too.

Maximilian Lopp has been active in producing electronic music since 1992. After getting in touch with Amiga 500 and Toy-Keyboards from his parents, Maximilian started his musical life with producing Hip-Hop-Beats for local crews in the Frankfurt region. He focused his musical skills on trip-hop and instrumental hip-hop during this experimental period as well. Luckily for him the mid-nineties saw the awakening of Drum'n'bass in earnest. Maximilian developed his own approach to electronic music by primarily mixing elements of these directions.
In 1999 Maximilian Lopp formed the electronic music project blackfish. His first release was the tune Apartfrom on a compilation named Inside 2, beside other tunes from Brian Eno and J. Peter Schwalm. This was the time when Maximilian sent out many demos and he quickly found a label, releasing more blackfish tunes – up to an album at least.
The result is today a real classic work: The album “Pole Navigation” which was actually published in 2001. The music can best be described as atmospheric, organic, electronic downtempo music with a slightly jazz flavor.
Maximilian wanted to develop his musical productions more and more and started collaborations with other artists and musicians. A big project was the transformation of the electronic sounds of Pole Navigation into a live set with acoustic instruments. During this time, he met Andreas Baßermann, with whom he decided to produce the second blackfish album.
Additional to the blackfish project, they both formed a new music project named Attic Tree. With Attic Tree they had many big releases and did additional collaborations with many other musicians and artists. The music of Attic Tree got influences by Nu Jazz, Bossa Nova and Downbeat with atmospheric elements.
In 2007 Maximilian’s tune Round the block was featured in german cine film Chiko (a Fatih Akin production with German star actor Moritz Bleibtreu). This movie was presented at the Berlinale 2008 and enjoyed highest reputation.
Beside his own music productions, Maximilian started his own digital label “blackfish productions” in 2006 and started releasing music from other artists as well. You can find music by blackfish productions in all major downloadshops.
