The EP consists of 4 tracks created around January 2022.
For the best sound experience use headphones.

With "Mist, Fog And Noise" the EP begins in a dystopian noisescape. An unpleasant tension builds up, which finds its screeching noise peak in "Sie kommen".
The tracks "Zelda" and "Vorboten", let us escape from this gloomy landscape and end the EP with more harmonious sounds that leave us in a warm melancholy.

Almost all sounds come from Sequentials Pro 3, recorded on tape.

Produced and mixed by SEM
Mastered by LANDR.

Vorboten

Zelda

Sie kommen

Mist, Fog And Noise

Euphoric Horizon

Elevated Groove

I'm a bit proud: all the sounds I created myself with hardware synthesizers/drum machines. It's the first time I haven't used samples at all, which in itself is no better or worse. But I can say that I created every single sound from scratch, which was quite a bit of (artistic) work.
Gear used:
Roland TR8S, Novation Peak, Sequential Pro 3, Moog Sirin, Behringer TD-3 MO, Modular, Akai MPC-1000,  Hologram Microcosm, Strymon Blue Sky, Akai GX 210-D, Ableton Live

Celestial Serenity

This double release brings together two pieces written in the spring of 2024.
Spectral Unity is my sonic milestone, both in terms of production and style, my most complete output to date. It's a fast and atmospheric piece built on floating pads and driven by 303 lines and rolling 909 hats, all dissolving into an evolving sonic space. The contrast of constant driving movement with an eternal stillness reflects the constant inner effort to stay upright.
The second track, M1UP, is its counterpart, a light and bright mix, built around distinctive M1 stabs. It leans hard into euphoric 90s Trance and House - nostalgic, exaggerated and absolutely kitsch. 
As I haven’t made any music in over a year, and I continue to wrestle with what this hobby means to me, this release marks an end to this personal project. For now, I’m sharing these 2 tracks as they are, a pair of emotional snapshots from the past, and a thank you to my time and people in Dresden.
