Unreachable.

I've started this song last autumn.

I wanted to express the repetitive attempt to touch what remains out of reach. Physically. Mentally. Locked from the outside. Locked from the inside.  When the words are missing. When the meaning is nowhere. 
To go on. Try. Again and again.

Improvisation (2024) 

For a while I couldn't think of a title for this whimsical piece, but then I saw a drawing my daughter made at kindergarten a long time ago and named it "Butterfly Dance”.

I have been continuing to explore how a delay audio effect can enhance my music and in this piece I used a plugin called Valhalla Supermassive on its "Hydra" preset on quite a few of my sound elements and thus the name was born!  

I then went on to thinking about stars and constellations as I continued the composition.

I am also really enjoying practising and developing my mixing skills.  Every composition reveals different focus areas to me. This one has taught me that I need to use my meters more and has also shown me how much changing note velocities can affect the music.  Thank you to Chris Adams for continuing to teach and guide me!

Minimal pads, granular glitches and processor stutters float through a calm, even soundscape flexing depth and subtle modulation.

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.
