My goal is to create sonic landscapes that capture the listener and take them to unknown places while building and maintain a secondary (musical) world to keep them immersed and actively engaged within it. Music should be inherently enjoyable to listen to, yet provide enough tension to keep it interesting enough for active listening. I also try to tell an aural story or narrative that blends Electronic Music’s past with its present.

By using real-world environmental samples, I seek to anchor the listener to something that is familiar and immersive. Curiosity compels a deeper level of listening which helps develop, build and sustain the secondary world.

My stronger influences are 70s and 80s electronic and progressive musicians such as Brian Eno, Vangelis, Edger Froese, Klaus Schultze, David Sylvian, Holger Czukay, Popol Vuh and Pink Floyd, as well as more recent artists such as The Orb, Aphex Twin, Future Sound of London, Mathias Grassow, Steven Wilson, Bass Communion, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. There are unabashed references and homages to these artists and (many more) which is consistent with the post-rock approach to modern music.

I grew up in a home where music was loved and the radio was always on, which gave me early exposure to a variety of genres including jazz, classical, contemporary, pop and rock. Playing musical instruments throughout my early and middle-school years, allowed me to became proficient in several woodwind instruments, the electric bass and manipulation of reel-to-reel tape recordings. The exploration in creating experimental tape effects had a large impact on my current musical expression.

"...En calma, algo que no se entera.
En la gran serenidad.
Con inmensa indiferencia
planea silenciosamente en lo alto.
Es la inmovilidad
que se mueve obediente a la luz.
Abandonada a la divina voluntad.
Ensimismada y ofreciendose a la par.
Un movimiento que no es de traslación ni alteración
y que es calma profunda, quietud..."
(Maria Zambrano)

Sometimes I do the music that I would have liked to listen to, other times the music emerges alone and it surprises me.
I feel closer to the sound than to the music
My music is not meant to be heard only with the ears but with the whole full body.

Composer ⊷ Multi-Instrumentalist

Christian Pensel is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Cologne, Germany. 
His music brings back memories of places that you have never seen, of events that never took place - all made blurry like watching them through frosted glass.
Spoken language always felt like a pretty insufficient way of communication to him, whereas playing an instrument appeared to be a much better speech organ. Christian began learning the guitar as a child and taught himself other instruments to broaden his palette of expression in the years to come - among them are piano, cello, flute, recorder, mandolin.
Out of a love for creating his own universe of sound he eventually studied Composition for Film and Theater at the ArtEZ Conservatory of Arnhem (NL). During this time he formed the band Plattentektonik and released his solo debut "Kreise im Wasser" on Unperceived Records in 2019. Heavy with the weight of storytelling, this selection of solo piano pieces performed by Niklas Paschburg favour wistful melodies and fluid lines. The all-pervasive melancholy of Christian's compositions, their unique arrangement as well as the delicate nature of the piano make this album really special. 
Right now Christian Pensel is working on new music which is going to be more centered about his musical roots which is the guitar.

Based in London, Elif Yalvaç (née Hazal Elif Yalvaç) is a producer, composer and guitarist from North Western Turkey. Her journey in sound started as a young girl getting enthusiastic about electric guitar and retro game audio. She has had an over a decade long presence in music with international appearances, especially in the UK, Iceland, and Norway, through solo and collaborative works and performances, music critic reviews, and radio features.

Having worked with others (including the Brooklyn-based label NNA Tapes in 2020) and independently, Elif pushes the boundaries and believes in the value of organic connections in the music scene, defying the obstacles posed by algorithms or capital-oriented PR agencies and their stakeholders. Her latest solo album “Vection” was released in April 2024 by Amsterdam-based label Moving Furniture Records under "Eliane Tapes" series dedicated to pioneering electronic music composer Eliane Radigue. 

Elif’s upcoming solo work features elements of speedcore, noise, IDM, drone, and ambient music, drawing on her versatile approaches and background in music, from using a Game Boy or from guitar playing and singing in rock and metal contexts to sound design with her own software tools for ambient music. Both in studio and live settings, Elif uses a number of instruments including a handmade synth that she calls “Freakbox”, her standard and baritone guitars and pedals, as well as software such as VCV Rack and Ableton Live. She values minimal setup in performance and making the most of limitations, while always attempting to explore and learn tools and instruments to experiment with.

Elif collaborates with others extensively, including Norwegian ambient music artist Kristoffer Lislegaard, her avantgarde metal project Diaries of Destruction; her collaborations with her partner Jordan Muscatello (electric & double bass), her contemporary ambient project with pianist Philamelian, and Green Drift with Expert Sleepers, and primarily with Michael Bearpark. She has performed with a wide range of artists internationally including Eraldo Bernocchi, Colin Edwin, Jon Durant, and Jono Podmore.

Alongside her performance and production efforts, Elif curates and hosts “Talk to the Chip”, a podcast on pioneering electronic music on Resonance FM with Jono Podmore. She is the curator of the bi-monthly live electronics event series “Heart of Noise Cambridge” at Cambridge Junction, and "Electronics At Eight" series in Milton Court Concert Hall in London for Guildhall School. Elif holds an MA degree in Music (Sonic Arts) from Istanbul Technical University, with a thesis on the creative and aesthetic value of limitations in the context of Chip Music. She teaches electronic music composition and production in Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she is the pathway leader for Electronic Music in EPM.
