My „retrolease“ called Kryptonit

Sometimes it's not the best idea to stick to the plan.

As you may know I had planned a release in March.

The last months, the song was 99% finished but somehow I couldn't do the last steps.

Now I’ve realized that putting the song out on smth. like spotify would feel very strange for me, because it belongs to a past era already. I've written and produced (most of) it in 2018 and just wanted to put it out to have something to show you - because it’s been such a long time now.

I like the result in itself, but it's not what I would have created now.

Somehow it’s over (like the love affair of this song) and I don't want to invest more energy in it. I am working on new stuff, which feels more like my new era and is produced differently.

There's a gap between my output and my creation.
I decied I want to focus on my new ideas.

One day maybe there will be an album of some unreleased stuff of the past 6 years.

Since I like the result in itself but I feel the huge gap of 6 years I call it a „retrolease“ and I leave it to you in its unmastered form :-).

I put this song on soundcloud and Bandcamp because this was my playground ever-since.

Kryptonit

"What does my cat think?" is what I had in mind when I wrote this song 😼

2. Far

While we cannot see small nanoscopic objects like proteins or other molecules that make up virtually all living matter including our cells, tissues, as well as pathogens such as viruses, our computational algorithm allows us to make its material manifestation audible.  This piece is a musical representation of the amino acid sequence and structure of the spike protein of the pathogen of COVID-19, 2019-nCoV (protein data bank identifier 6VSB [1]). 

MUSICAL DECEIT

A virus’ genome hijacks the host cell’s protein manufacturing machinery, and forces it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new viruses from it.  This musical art teaches us something about the fine line between beauty of life and death as an opposite pole.  As you listen to the protein you will find that the intricate design results in incredibly interesting and actually pleasing, relaxing sounds. This doesn’t really convey the deadly impacts this particularly protein is having on the world. This aspect of the music shows the deceiving nature of the virus, how it hijacks our body to replicate, and hurt us along the way. So, the music is a metaphor for this nature of the virus to deceive the host and exploit it for its own multiplication. 

HOW IT IS DONE: 

What you hear is a multi-layered algorithmic composition featuring both the vibrational spectrum of the entire protein (expressed in sound and rhythmic elements), the sequence and folding of amino acids that compose the virus spike structure, as well as interwoven melodies - forming counterpoint music - reflecting the complex hierarchical intersecting geometry of the protein [2].
