We're here to trace a line from electronic sound designers to classical composers, connecting them through the realms of ambient & cinematic music.

Auf akustisches Plankton möchte ich in Text und Bild, vor allem aber in Ton zu sozialen und kulturellen Themen, wie Religion, Literatur, Generationsunterschiede, Zeitzeugen, andere Länder oder aber auch über aktuelle Themen wie Bildung und Berufsmarktveränderung schreiben, aufnehmen und hörbar machen.

Oskar Schuster is a German composer and artist, living in Berlin. His songs without words evoke a fairytale-world, strange and surreal. A world full of blurry images of the past; of childhood memories and characters from children’s books; of clicking and ticking clocks and ever-looping music boxes, of far-away-lands, far-away-seas, far-away-skies, far-away-everythings. At times reminiscent of Yann Tiersen's Amélie, his music is still very distinct, arising from a mixture of various influences including experimental electronic music (Aphex Twin, Pogo), the minimalist folk-pop of Beirut, the ethereal and mystical sounds of Sigur Rós as well as classical piano music by Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin. As a true self-made artist, he not only plays all the instruments and produces the music by himself, but also creates his own music videos and designs most of the artwork by himself. 

In 2011, he released his debut album, Dear Utopia, followed 2014 by Sneeuwland and 2015 by Tristesse Télescopique which he managed to produce with the help of successful crowdfunding campaigns. Abandoning the traditional full length album format, he continues to regularely release new EPs and singles, such as Singur in 2016, Záhada in 2017 and Maribel in 2018.

hi! this is alice & her piano. 

here you'll find music inspired by compassion - and its absence.


///

compassion hurts. when you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. and you cannot turn away.
your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. you must either learn to carry the universe or be crushed by it. you must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors. -andrew boyd
