“Chasing Shadows” is a sonic exploration built around a recurring motif — a constant thread woven through an ever-shifting soundscape. As the textures twist and transform, the piece drifts between familiarity and strangeness, capturing the tension between repetition and evolution, between what we know and what keeps slipping away.

mr.coon (real name Gerhard Martini) was born in 1972 in Bolzano, South Tyrol. Raised in Terlan, he initially pursued the visual arts by attending the Academy of Painting in Florence, but soon discovered his true passion in music. After making his first steps into the industry through TV and radio spots, his budding career was abruptly halted in 1998 when he suffered a traumatic brain injury just two weeks after his first live performance. Despite the challenges of recovery and the burden of strong medication, Gerhard found the strength to rebuild his life and channel his technical skills into music production.

In 2004, he released his debut album Die Träumer in collaboration with Martin Troger. In 2010, he earned a scholarship to the Music and Media Academy in Hamburg, where he graduated as a music designer. Today, mr.coon dedicates himself entirely to his music and creative projects, collaborating with other artists
