Born on January 21, 1984, in Brandenburg an der Havel (Germany), Florian Linckus discovered his passion for film and storytelling at an early age. This love soon extended to music, where he found a profound connection between sound and narrative. By the late 1990s, he began creating his own works, focusing on music for film.

In the early 2000s, Florian composed for several short films and refined his craft through formal training in composition at the Deutsche Pop Music Academy, graduating in 2009. Since 2007, he has collaborated closely with VFX artist Thomas Zeug, composing music for the beloved animated series 2 Aliens: Quiqueck & Hämat since 2012.

Florian’s career took on an international dimension in 2014 when he began assisting renowned Chinese composer Raymond Wong. His contributions span film and television, including notable projects like Ice Man, Horror Online, The Monkey King, The Treasure, and Lingji, along with several acclaimed Asian TV series.

Florian Linckus is a master of versatility, navigating effortlessly across genres to find the perfect tone for every project. His rich and diverse musical palette ranges from classical orchestral arrangements to bold, sound design-driven contemporary works. Whether crafting epic cinematic scores or intimate musical landscapes, Florian continues to push the boundaries of musical storytelling.

"Tuur mang Welten"
OUT NOW via Unperceived Records
http://bit.ly/2fJS97G


„Tuur mang Welten“ - translated „Journey between Worlds“ is the melodious title of Niklas Paschburg's first EP. 

Niklas is originally from the big city, but lives in the countryside now. Aged four he played his first notes on the piano of his grandparents. Aged five he took piano lessons by his own request. Unlike other musicians, who feel a longing to move to world metropoles, Niklas, after having northern German harbors, seagulls, and fish markets in his life now enjoys the southern loneliness of forests, wide landscapes and the fragrant scent of pine woods. 
Inspired by both worlds Niklas creates an acoustic symbiosis in form of enchanting piano compositions with fine electronic additions on his EP „Tuur mang Welten“. 

His debut Single „DAWN“, which is also contained in the EP, captures the pulse of the city in a charming and touching way. While you are most likely to hear the echoes of urban life in this piece, "Tuur mang Welten" also features quieter and darker musical realms.

Everything is improvised and therefore we do not play songs in the usual sense. Rather, they are improvised jam sessions - from flat soundscapes to sketchy beats, soft voices in between - percussive elements are repeated, stumbling, drifting, sketching. Melodies of the modular synthesizer waft to it. Text fragments overlap into a polyphonic collage.

I craft unique, genre-blending mixtapes that capture as much of my musical personality as possible. Style, genre, or tempo are never limitations.
My taste is deeply rooted in jazz, funk, hip hop, trip hop, latin, downtempo, "regular-tempoed" house, techno, acoustic and singer-songwriter vibes, all kinds of electronica, orchestral, electroacoustic and atmospheric sounds — along with things I can't even define or fit into any genre.
Always open to new quality sounds.

I produce(d) very, very shitty hip hop tracks with samples of my friends as a joke and I am sorry about that.
