Hot At 69

What I Imagined It To Be

Like Tears In The Rain

Just Sound

Run To The Attic

Howl

A piano track composed in ten minutes during a never ending heatwave.

A piano/synth track I made for an imaginary movie about a guy who really likes a girl but nothing ever happens. Then she celebrates her birthday and they briefly end up alone in her room.

From Her Party To Her Room

Dutch artist Bormus started studying piano when he was 7. After hitting puberty and realizing you can't bring a piano to a party in a park, he ditched piano lessons and picked up a guitar, teaching himself how to play by copying other artists. When he was 17, he rediscovered the piano and started composing. After discovering DAWs like Fruity Loops, Reason and later Ableton, he soon expanded into electronic music as well. Years later, Bormus became a composer for movies, documentaries and tv series under a different alias. At the beginning of 2014, a friend from France introduced him to what later became known as lofi/chillhop, by letting him listen to artists like Flatpocket, 40 Winks, Nightmares on Wax, Shlohmo, Pogo, Phontaine, Hugo Kant, Damu the Fudgemunk, Nym, Wax Tailor and J Dilla. In 2018, Bormus decided to try his hand at lofi, by playing all the instruments himself, instead of relying on samples. His tracks are built up with dreamy, dusty guitar riffs, pianos that sound like they were stored in a draughty attic, nostalgic synths and sloppy finger drummed beats that chug along like a slow train, taking the listener through eternal rainy sunset landscapes. And sometimes, he likes to go back to basics, with just the piano.
