Do you know those carefree summer evenings? Maybe just yesterday was one of them. When the air is warm, everything is calm, and the only sound is gravel under your feet as you walk an empty track across the fields. "Silence" is for that feeling.

I started working on it back in early spring, when evenings like that were still far away. Adding some of my own recordings (like birds chirping and the crackling of fire) already brought a sense of nostalgia and made those moments feel closer.

Musically, it’s simple: a few piano chords from an improvisation, layered with more piano and some airy synths. The atmosphere and most of the percussion come from everyday sounds: for example, a bicycle rack as a hi-hat, a watering can as a snare, and an incoming train turned into a riser.

The goal: music that feels like silence. I hope you enjoy.

Silence

Lyrics:

I dont understand
where im goin with myself

i dont get it
where youre going without my help

i dont get it
i dont get it 
i dont get it
i dont get it
no-

i dont get it
youre calling my phone
then the next day you gonna run back home
but youre not in my arms,
so where is home?
where is youth
where did we go

all up in the mist
ive been faded away because im faded from the mist

i can feel all the smoke hitting on my brain
plus the perc 30 
so i can forget what your name is

our memories they're going blanked
i feel at peace
when i forget (what her name is)
what? where am i now?
im feeling great
i feel safe when all by myself
but aw shit i feel lonely

where are u now

my highs worn off so im low
im down
im downed without you

4am freestyle (slowed x reverbed)

MELTING MEMORY is out now
The year of melting, sitting down, looking at walls and thinking. 
Finding out the joy and pleasure in short dark days and solitude.
It feels like I went into some kind of method production, and unpacking my music gear in my childhood room at my parents’ house as an adult felt like the most bizarre move. 
But along the way, I went through many of my old identities ~ sorting through old pictures and toys, and finding new rhythms and melodies.
