The Track EP features one slightly shortened original and three remixes of songs from the forthcoming album Lightgazer.

The three remixes are complete reworks of the album songs. After having worked on finishing the album versions for a long time, I got a bit tired listening to the same songs over and over again. So I took elements of the original songs as well as some bits which did not make it into the final version. These were rearranged in a playful manner to break up the pop structure of the album versions and provide room for individual elements to stand out.

Quite simply, I wanted to write a road track. I had the word "gasoline" in my head for a while, mostly because of how it flows. It is a rather unusual and long English word. So one day I had a look at my all-time favorite road track to decide the tempo, quickly put together a driving drum pattern, and got the guitar out...

Gasoline (7 Inch)

This bittersweet song from the recently released album Light Gazer has been radically condensed to its foundation for the streaming release: Just two long verses and two choruses, juxtaposed. The repetitive cloud of sound envelops, while the lyrics metaphorically address the passing of things and ourselves and finding joy in the moment. The mid-tempo electro-pop groove is complemented by shoegaze-inspired guitar layers meant to get lost in.

Far (7 Inch)

After putting together a simple patch as a starting point for an arpeggio, I turned up the volume to check whether any sound was coming out of it yet. Accidentally, there was already some effect on the channel and to my great surprise the result was already so pretty without my meddling, I thought I needed to share it in its pure form.
