Merged / Part 1 / I'm Not Afraid

This song’s lead was crafted using a Korg Volca Modular. Exploring modular synthesis is an exciting but challenging journey, especially on a device like this, where the absence of MIDI control leaves everything to manual adjustments. The unpredictability of modular sounds can be exhilarating yet difficult to tame.

I may have worked a little too intensely on this piece—it became so consuming that the melody played incessantly in my mind throughout the night, keeping sleep at bay. During that restless night, I experienced a vivid vision that seemed to emerge from the depths of my subconscious.
In this vision: 

A sad clown, poorly painted and with his head tilted, danced wildly to the erratic pulses of an out-of-control analog machine. His head appeared ready to fall from his body as sorrow burned into fierce, uncontrollable rage, expressed through an erratic, chaotic dance. His body seemed no longer his own to control. His mouth opened impossibly wide, his eyes bulged as if to escape their sockets. Then, with a thunderous roar, the head of a lion emerged from his mouth. As the lion advanced, the clown’s body tore apart, disintegrating into dust. The transformation was complete. The lion, now fully formed, walked away calmly and serenely, radiating power and peace.

Coax [Album Version]

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.
