"Tides" is a story about a struggle to break through one own’s toxic patterns and cycles of self-abuse. Letting go of the claustrophobia, which we create when we are the victims of ourselves - remembering not to be the martyr, but the master of self-love <3

Thanks, Hyusfall, for the first-class mastering (https://soundcloud.com/hyusfall)!

Tides

Eric Svensen's Liebe zur Musik begann in den 80er Jahren. Er begann schon früh, kleinere Underground-Partys aus einer Mischung von Pop,Rock und Hip-Hop zu veranstalten und wurde nach und nach wie magisch von der elektronischen Musik angezogen. Die Liebe zu diesem Stil machte sich immer mehr in seinen Sets bemerkbar.

Ende der 90er Jahre zog es ihn in nach Köln und es dauerte nicht lange, bis er einige Gigs in kleineren Clubs an Land zog. Nach einer kreativen Pause fingen seine Finger wieder an zu kribbeln und seine Leidenschaft zur Musik begann von neuem aufzublühen. Durch Gigs im Zimmermann's (aka Sven in Space) oder Odonien (aka Sven in Space) war er wieder zurück in der Spur. 
Später war er dann unter seinem neuen Künstlernamen Eric Svensen als regelmäßiger Gast beim Kölner Radiosender 674.fm und sonus.fm zu hören.

2020 bekam er die Gelegenheit auf der OdoniaNoire spielen zu dürfen, einem Event, der die kölner Lokalmatadore der elektronischen Szene förderte und vereinte.

Parallel begann er mit Nodepond eine kleine und feine Veranstaltungsreihe namens HouzeVerliebt ins Leben zu rufen, die sich mit VisualKunst beschäftigte und den weiblichen Nachwuchs zu fördern im Fokus hatte. 

Musikalisch lässt sich Eric Svensen in keine Schublade stecken und sein Repertoire reicht von Ambient, Trip Hop, Electronica, Deep House, Tech-House bis hin zu Techno in all ihren Facetten. Dadurch vereinen sich in seinen Sets viele verschiedene Genres zu einer Symbiose. 
Wer ihn schon einmal gehört hat, spürt, dass er durch seine DJ Sets einen kleinen aber feinen Mindtrip erzeugt.

Through creativity we can recognize that the only limitation to ourselves is ourselves and that stepping out of the conformist expectations is the necessary empowerment that everyone deserves.

reposting tunes i like!
it is my sincere intention to support 
the artists i really like and hopefully 
contribute to make their music heard.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

These days, everything is recorded through my Mackie Onyx 8 analogue mixer.  I prefer to create sounds on my analogue synths but you'll also hear sounds created with my Korg Wavestate and Roland S-1.  All percussion/drums are played by me on my Native Instruments Maschine Mikro Mk3, where I spend a lot of time manipulating samples to hopefully get something original sounding.
