An ongoing series of songs that emerge while chilling on my couch and accepting whatever comes.

So klang dieser grossartige Track in meinem Kopf als ich ihn das erst mal hörte.
Irgendwie ist er da jetzt ausgebüxt.

Compositional Ambient – Warm, contemplative music for critical dreamers, incorporating ambient, early digital electronics, evocative piano acoustics, perceptive sound design


What's the Sound of a Dream?'
What happens when piano and electronics meet on equal sonic footing, alternating
effortlessly between accompaniment and shared moments of solo expression?
These questions motivated the creation of Ako Amo's debut album. 'What's the Sound of a
Dream?' is compositional ambient music for critical dreamers — for listeners who dare to
get lost in thought, even at the risk of bumping their heads.
Switzerland-based duo Ako Amo – consisting of Martin Reck on electronics & Olivia Zaugg
on piano – began as an ambitious live interpretation of 'Uoon I' by Alva Noto & Ryuichi
Sakamoto. To achieve this, they custom-built electronic instruments capable of
synthesizing the piece's sounds in real-time.
Over the following years, this foundation developed into their own distinctive performance
practice & compositional aesthetic. Their debut album is a playful, quirky, and warm
continuation of what inspired the duo initially.
Early digital electronics, acoustic piano, piano processing & sensitive sound design make
up the Ako Amo sound.

Hej! and welcome!

Here you can find a mix of officially released music and (late-night) music sketches from new to very old. 

I am Maris and at the moment have two bigger musical projects:
Ako Amo: 
A duo with pianist Olivia Zaugg where we perform our own take on compositonal ambient live. We released the Album "What's the Sound of a Dream?" in June 2025

Martin Antoinette:
Electronic Chamber Pop. A fusion of electroacoustic sound practices and pop songwriting.
The debut album will be out in 2026.

I DJ'ed a lot back in the days and have an ongoing improvisational practice where I play self-programmed digital instruments and some voice. 


Hit me up if you want to have a chat on whatever is on your mind.
