SVNSET WAVES is so excited to welcome back an old friend and introduce a new one! 
Dortmund-based producer eeph and vocalist Jani from Leipzig created their new 3-track EP 
"Focus and Distraction" over the course of numerous phone calls, data transfers, and in-between-lockdown meetups in September 2020. 'Focus and Distraction' tells about loss, the desire to find healing amidst chaos, and the process of letting go of the past. It explores a transitional phase in which self-reflection and observation become necessary in order to move on. 
eeph translates words into music, incorporating Jani's voice and instrumental recordings to create a musical space that offers both familiarity and novelty.

Focus and Distraction is out today. ♪ https://link.svnsetwaves.com/eephxjani

eeph x Jani - Rain in May

a little sound collage...
afternoon Zimmermann piano + vocals improvisation, nighttime railway noises, vinyl sounds from an old Ella Fitzgerald record I found in my parents' basement

What are you doing tomorrow?

Something I came up with today. Work in progress.
gorgeous voice sample: by Khareel -> https://soundcloud.com/khareel 
(check out her Insta for the original video with voice and ukulele -https://www.instagram.com/khareeloony/), recorded with a mic over phone speakers lol...
piano: me 
(the piano chords as such had already been recorded the day before, I thought they went well with the singing and ukulele harmonies)
crackle: my own recording, an old record ^^

𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕟'𝕥  𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕚𝕣𝕖𝕕 𝕠𝕗 𝕞𝕖... Lo-fi track idea (inspired by Khareel)

Vocal layers on top of vocals layers ^^
and a bit of piano 
just testing, it's a bit cheesy

[a 'dirty jam' is what I call my spontaneous one-take recordings with mistakes, sometimes thrown together with other imperfect one-takes or sample bits ^^]

But I lied - dirty jam demo

Dying Flowers - Raw Demo

late again, dirty jam

It just happens as we grow older
we grow colder

Midnight (acoustic jam)

No one will ever know cause it will be hidden.

Before I forget (acoustic piano)

Unfinished.
Wrote that for the swifts flying over my part of town. How do they never land?

mini lo-fi beat song for swifts (demo)

piano mood inspired by moths...
fly close to the light in case you are cold
wanna turn that into a full song someday, maybe 2046

moths to the light

Sunday guitar n rhodes jam.
Wanted to add vocals to this, but then decided to give these two instruments more room. For now.

Hibiscus

on my way home, thinking slow
(Korg Tiny Piano jam with voice)

Slow thought

This is a collaboration between composer Jim Sanger and me. Jim decided my lil piano piece "Before I forget" would sound great with a string section. =)
So here it is. Thank you so much!
Head over to Jim's page https://soundcloud.com/jimsanger to check out more of his work. ♩♪♩

('Before I forget' piano and vocals by Jani / strings and mix by Jim Sanger)

Before I Forget (Strings by Jim Sanger)

ideas are nothing... I just dug this up (another tired summer night 2019?).
played on Korg Tiny Piano,

It Will Destroy Me

Me & You is a track I made with @MAYAEWK. 
This thing's been out for a bit. But not on this cloud. 😊❀
Beat magic by Maya, piano & vocal by me

♪ Me and you and everyone we know
we're all inventors, make it up as we go
and if you don't know how to close your eyes
consider calling me

I'm content being a ghost in memories
a footnote lost, no one cares and no one reads me
but if you don't know how to close your eyes
consider calling me up

Even at night
a footnote lost, no one cares and no one reads me (right?)
debate about what will be
a footnote lost, no one cares and no one reads me (right?)

Me And You - Mayaewk & Jani

moths  to the light Pt 2

Nobody Sees Me

First draft of a thing called Kitchen Sink
[April 25, 2020]

Before Kitchen Sink

Street

secrets are exhaustiiing
(playing slow for breakfast, there'll be a proper EP version of this)
[June 2020]

Secrets (most final version, arrangement-wise, probably, I give up)

another one early in the morning (just a writing session)
yeah I talk to myself...
I wrote this on my cigar box guitar, I'm on the classical here, I got this guitar for 35 bucks, but this is the full acoustic version
[May 2020]

Nylon Street Noise (draft)

the day just woke up like this
[June 26, 2020]

Wake up, a bit different

Wake up acoustic, full one-take on my Ortega classical (early sleepy session). The final version will be played on cigar box guitar with an indecent amount of reverb.
[June 25 2020]

A lullaby called Wake up

♪ singing my late-night one-verse poem to morning birds...

This one time I opened my window to dive into the night
right into the void, to bathe in starlight
and I hoped you would follow, tell me secrets in the dark
cause I knew this moment would go and not come back
[July 2020]

This one time

under the roof, out of tune ❀
