Overnight Autopilot

The Horse Walks Backwards on a Violet Cloud is the original mix:

🖋️ Lyrics: 
I listen like a child to night, But the shadows know my name. Fatigue pours gently through the vents, Wrapping me in soft, invisible blame.
The horse walks backwards on a violet cloud. My eyes face the dream it left. She whispers through distant time zones now... And I keep still, in theft.
The table breathes beneath its gift, Unknown hands tie memory in bows. My name was said, half-broken, By a mirror that never knows.
The old man’s beard touches the past. I'm seated wrong, I'm waking slow. She trains in orchards long forgotten. I’m just the ache I never show. Light moves backwards, Through our unfinished sky.
I wrote none of this — But it’s mine, It’s mine.

als ob sie unten stünden:
nach dem knall
kommt die vibration

Chapter 242 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Last one in a series of short downtempo sketches that forms part of a set I'll be performing (in my living room to a tortoise called Leroy) on a SP404 - I'll put a continuous mix of the tracks on youtube with visuals at some stage soon, and meantime they're all there as shorts with degraded blue cartoon animations. This one is available to view here (like. subscribe, comment and all that):

I have more of my style of house music coming soon, for those of you who like their music to be over 120bpm.

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.
