One of the themes of my work is “memory.”
Recorded sounds are also memories, and at times these memories become complex, fragmented, and scattered. The intention behind works centered on the theme of memory is to reconnect and reconstruct scattered fragments of memory to create new memories.
This work, “Frozen Memories,” uses sound materials whose origin and recording date are unknown to me. These sound materials were first edited into a completed work, which was then further processed and edited to the point where it no longer resembles its original form, resulting in a new work.
In a sense, this can be described as a chain of memories.

FM-CM2023

With his seventh full-length release, Unterland, Austrian composer and sound artist Kobermann (Johannes Piller) presents a meditative counterpoint to a culture spinning ever faster — one where the next reel, the next drop, and the next dopamine hit scream for attention. Unterland withdraws from this dynamic, offering instead a deep, slow-burning exploration of repetition, space, and sonic ritual.

Created primarily using modular synthesizers, field recordings, and minimal post-processing, the album moves between ambient, dub, and avant-garde minimalism, drawing influence from early New Age cassettes, contemporary drone practices, and tape-saturated club ghosts. But more than genre, Unterland is a terrain — an imagined topography where each track marks a physical and emotional waypoint.

The 60-minute journey begins with Waves, where blurred field recordings and gently detuned drones wash over the listener like fog over a valley. A child’s voice introduces the piece, speaking of “huge waves” — a fitting metaphor for the undulating nature of what follows.

The 23-minute Hokus Pokus becomes the album’s gravitational core. It’s less a composition than a space to inhabit: modular sequences, feedback loops, and noise textures evolve gradually, encouraging listeners to surrender to a slower sense of time. It’s an invitation to recalibrate — to listen in a way modern life rarely allows.

Alebrijes follows as a surreal, protective presence: ghostly rhythms, laugh-like tones, and deconstructed dub pulses drift through the mix like dream-guardians.

The B-side opens with Strobe Pad, where shimmering pads, panned percussion, and reverb-drenched harmonics suggest a moment of clarity — a brief emergence from the murk. The track serves as a light source before the final descent into abstraction.

Small Cases and Unfold mark a psychological ascent: from the minimalist weightlessness of travel into the oxygen-thin air of revelation. Granular textures and filtered drones evoke both euphoria and disorientation — the moment after a summit, when the world reshapes itself around your breath.

The closing track, Future Schmelz, places the listener at a glacial edge, where crumbling drums and filtered sequences collapse into a dance of entropy. Delayed hats, decaying Moog DFAM sequences, and feedback bursts create a post-dub atmosphere — as if memory itself were dissolving.

All seven pieces were composed and recorded between February 2024 and February 2025 using a modular system, recorded and arranged in Ableton Live.

Alone In Space

This is my approach of rework of an old classic tune by Simon and Garfunkel, concentrating on the thought, how the ideas of "silence" and "sound" relates  to eachother. Enjoy.

Please check out the great original too!
Headphones highly recommended!

Owl Yeah - Sound Of Silence ( EMPTY SHELL Edit )

This version was recorded with the Silbersee vocal ensemble (Jennifer van der Hart, Fanny Alofs, Łukasz Wilda, Maciej Straburzynski).

Raphael Vanoli is a rare guitarist, working on the different attack modes of the strings. His work related to breathing allows his sound creations to be recognized from the first notes. He makes visible a musical world, where he enlarges the microscopic rustling produced by the electric guitar. By working on amplification and sound spatialization, Raphael Vanoli produced a surprising first solo album, Bibrax, acclaimed by the specialized press. Here, in Venus by Day, he continues this collective work and invites us to a surprising encounter between drone music, free improvisation and baroque counterpoint.

This piece in homage to guitarist Rolf Oppermann, who died on April 29, 2020, has an architecture based on the main motif of the cantata "Mitten Wir im Leben sind" by Johann Sebastien Bach. This motif makes it possible to bring together the infinitely small and the infinitely large. Like a dust whose infinite grains gradually build a structure over a long period of time.

Venus by Day is a 120-minute work, which transforms the anxieties of a time into a dreamy summer evening.

Cette version a été enregistrée avec l'ensemble vocal Silbersee (Jennifer van der Hart, Fanny Alofs, Łukasz Wilda, Maciej Straburzynski).

Raphael Vanoli est un guitariste rare, travaillant sur les différents modes d'attaque des cordes. Son travail lié à la respiration permet à ses créations sonores d'êtres reconnues dès les premières notes. Il rend visible un monde musical, où il agrandit les microscopiques bruissements produits par la guitare électrique. En travaillant sur l'amplification et la spatialisation sonore, Raphael Vanoli a produit un premier album solo surprenant, Bibrax, plébiscité par la presse spécialisée. Ici, dans Venus by Day, il poursuit ce travail en collectif et nous invite à une rencontre surprenante entre la musique drone, l'improvisation libre et le contrepoint baroque.

Cette pièce en hommage au guitariste Rolf Oppermann, mort le 29 avril 2020, a une architecture fondée sur le motif principal de la cantate "Mitten Wir im Leben sind" de Johann Sebastien Bach. Ce motif permet de faire se rejoindre l'infiniment petit et l'infiniment grand. Comme une poussière dont les grains infinis bâtissent peu à peu une structuration sur un temps long. 

Venus by Day est une oeuvre de 120 minutes, qui transforme les angoisses d'un temps en un soir d'été rêveur.

Zach Schneider ( @zach-schneider-1  )composes some beautiful light melodies.   I thought I would add accordion to one of his tunes to see how it sounds.

Hi, I'm rabbitsquirrel, and I make drone as a vehicle for song titles.

Always open for collaborations/remixes.

[If you like something, I recommend downloading it, because SC streaming kills a lot of low end and sub bass]
