My live set recording from Fusion Festival 2022

This was a mesmerising and emotional evening surrounded by friends and a simply beautiful & open minded crowd in Bachstelzen (Velvet Soup). 

This set is comprised of new & old unplayed material, and sound experiments I created in the build up to Fusion.

I want to say thank you to everyone, you made me feel something intense on this evening, returning home was never harder, and I'll never forget it.

Metamorphose @ Wohnzimmer 9.3.24.

Between the moon and dreams,
Time expands,
A new perception arises.
Looking inward,
Opening the portal to the universe of dreams and fantasies.
Every thought, every image, every feeling blossoms without haste,
Everything unfolds naturally, with its reason for being,
In its essence.
Calmness, silence, and openness…
I invite you to "Daydream".

Daydream

What a beautiful night this was. Two of my friends even got engaged while I was playing, I put the volume down, told the crowd what happened and they cheered loudly. Quite a moment.

Thank you for being open to my creative randomness, yes- this set has all sorts of sounds inside it.

Most of these tracks & edits were created two days before the show, I made it in a sudden push of inspiration.
