I am the NerdWiser and I play the Synthesizer.
I make electronic music you can’t dance to.
🎧 plz! Thank you for listening.

I do not use AI for composing music and I object to AI training of music using any of my music.  Some of the mastering software I used may have used AI.  

I play piano, synth, guitar, bass, bodhran and I sing from time to time.  I studied jazz piano and composing  Contemporary Classical Music and I write for many genres.

Thank you and happy existing to you all!

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.

(I don't always respond with "thanks" to each comment but I read and appreciate all. If you have a question or really need a reply send me a message)

(With a few artists we run a little group on discord to discuss ideas and what not. The link is below if you're interested in joining)
