Oceans Of Dust

Well I stumbled
That's my memory of last night
So its vague, sure
But in reality its a white lie

Well did I say those words?
And did I cling to yours?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Did I tell you stuff?
Did I say too much?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Again

Did I hang around
When my memory had turned sour?
Although I can't see
I could drink some more for hours and hours

Did you hear the words?
And did they sound absurd?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Did I break my vow?
Show my feelings anyhow?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Again

A loser - I lose her

White Lies

SUMMER SNOWFLAKES: variations on a theme. Intended to be released at the first snow fall, but it never came... So I kept recording.

INSTRUMENTS used: Electric Guitar, two steel 6-stringed guitars, 12s guitar, classical guitar, two hardware keyboards (rendering the pianos, organs, bass guitar, chimes, bells, flutes, strings), pedal effects.

The music grew like a fractal in all directions and became quite vast in scope: should I have split it into shorter tracks? Many would say yes, but I didn't fancy that and instead went for the ”LP option"; an instrumental, meditative journey, inspired by the genre invented by Mike Oldfield in the 70s.

When I first heard his work, many years ago, I didn't first get it, but I was intrigued. "What is the purpose?" was my early reaction. But I couldn't shake it off and became hooked to the complexity of his instrumental music, and how it seemed to constantly mutate into new sections. I kept listening, and gradually discovered the many hidden secrets. And it led me to become very interested in classical music.

SUMMER SNOWFLAKES is made in this tradition. Not explicitly trying to mimic Mr. Oldfield, but admittedly clearly influenced by his method. And why not? Was it wrong that Brahms wrote symphonies just because Beethoven already had done nine legendary ones? Would the world have been a better place if Shostakovich had stayed away from writing Preludes and Fugues for the piano? Should no pop songs have been allowed after Beatles? I say, let us be shamelessly inspired by the gigants and make some efforts to create something! Throw an egg if you must, but I think any sincere attempt to compose is welcome.

When I decided to go for a full length track, my vision was (somewhat childishly) the thought of the younger myself; the days when I was a die-hard Oldfield fan and had stumbled upon a new release: always a rare event, an instant buy, running home, headphones on, expectations high, launching it: the first sacred discoveries ... My track may not live up to this, but is a tribute to those days and that feel.

The recording was quite an undertaking and I didn't want to let myself down. I worked on it since December 2018, and was occasionally quite frustrated about it. I avoided midi, and tried to hand-play it all (for the fun of it) - often leaving me in big trouble. I admit there are some sun spots due to this, but I consider them as my finger prints and evidence that a human did this, not a machine. .

Art cover: by DS 2021, reflecting the heavy reliance and overlaying of pianos and organs, and the combinational nature of the music.

Special Thanks to Mark Hermse, Mike Hilton and Wojciech Langner for support and inspiring discussions!

FatherTime

Beneath the violet desert sky, sound becomes light and rhythm turns to gold.
EaSTeRn HoRiZoN – 8D aRaBiaN invites the listener on a journey across glowing dunes and cosmic horizons — where Arabic rhythm meets modern 8D sound design.

Each track moves in circles of light, echoing the spirit of oud, darbuka, and desert wind, blending with deep ambient synths and hypnotic beats. This album captures both motion and stillness — the pulse of the East in infinite rotation.
