Eyjafjöll - 6 Billions Years Of Love  (East Cho Remix)

Ableton11/Project11. Dedicated to victims of the war. Atmospheric journey through the years of suffering, bleak hints of unknown danger, serene observation of what we've done.

Project No.11

Ableton's Project No.13. Started as techno, but still heavily influenced by ambient and IDM. At least it's danceable. I hope.

Project No.13

This mix dives deep into the gritty, raw energy of Detroit electro, blending some of the hardest beats and fresh, experimental material I've been exploring lately. Apologies for a few quirky or "funky" transitions along the way—I was letting loose and having some fun with it, embracing the imperfections to keep things spontaneous and lively. Hope you enjoy the vibe as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Vsjo harašo (ELECTRO MIX)

In Sanskrit, ‘Prakanda’ is the trunk of a tree, from its root to its branches. Additionally, it can mean ‘excellent’, ‘prominent’, ‘superior’ and ‘transcendent’.

I explored ideas about trees by listening to various artists’ recordings using contact microphones inside the trees. I also spent hours walking in ancient woodlands, listening and observing them. But I couldn’t find what I wanted until, by accident, I discovered the most beautiful images of tree-rings. They reminded me of the surface of a desert, the ocean, the patterns of water; the references might be endless. 

Each tree-ring has its own structure, form and appearance and they became my main source of inspiration. In the music I have mapped these images into many sonic patterns, the music’s structure based on independent melodic lines, each with its own time, pitch, timbre and articulation.
