I was flying through empty space
Free and wild, making so much noise

But nothing was making sense, although I thought I saw it all
Time was stretching thin, felt myself fading away

Then your gravity pulled me in, with so much space to fill
Never moved this way before, I couldn't let you carry on

sitting there in the dark, with a black cloud around your heart
so heavy you couldn't stand, so we took each others hands

Find out how much I can take, try turning up that heat
My light shines brightest against the dark
When I'm up against that wall
I can't stand up but I can't fall
And I'm about to lose it all
When the clouds begin to change
and the Light shines through again

It's Musical Gravity!

You and I will become something new
When you give yourself to me
And I give myself to you
There'll be no end to the love we receive
When it's only you, alone with me
In our Galaxy

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.
