Recording made simultaneously using two Zoom H1 first version; in one H1 I replaced the internal cardioid capsules with two Omnidirectional PUI AOM5024, the other H1 I left with its two original cardioid capsules. First part of the file with the AOM5024, second part with the cardioids. I normalized both parts of the file to -3dB.

Lyrics by me

If life ends under this sunshine
Will I return in another storyline?
If there’s a restart in this game
Can I choose another power in profile?

If life ends under phoenix tree
Will I return as a seed flying in the wind? If there’s a reincarnation
I wish to be a peach blossom
Even I will fade after sunset

If there is a reincarnation
I’d live in a world with no separation
If there is a reincarnation
I’d leave all memories before arrive the other side

Reincarnation
Let us meet again in a free land 
Reincarnation
I’ll be strong enough to stay with you 
Reincarnation
Doesn’t matter what I’m going to be In another life
please break my heart again

Reincarnation
In a place we can hold our hands 
Reincarnation
I’ll be brave enough to say my love 
Reincarnation
Just another chance to die the same 
But if you allow
Let’s live on this time

Reincarnation

Only U

This release presents a collection of seven distinct projects, accompanied by two alternative versions. As the boundaries between genres and sound concepts continue to dissolve, this release delves deep into those undefined blind spots. Each track offers its own perspective, embracing abstraction and nuance. What was rhythm becomes texture.
What was genre becomes blur. Reduced, reformed and forgotten.

Rutger Muller - Exorcism I

I'm an electroacoustic composer interested in mystic, spiritual and ritual sound. I approach music through the intricacies of timbre, acoustics and spatiality, and I extract compositions or "soundspaces" from elements of ancient/classical music, (dark) ambient, (dub) techno, free improvisation and architectural ideas. By shaping a semi-abstract sound, I want to transcend the drama of emotion, reach beyond it, towards the patterns and noises of consciousness (the micro cosmos), outer space (the macro cosmos) and nature.

"...a fascinating contemporary classical-techno-ambient hybrid, miles away from even a lot of the post-classical music you hear these days. This is driving, jazz-inflected experimental electronic music deeply rooted in classical instrumentation and form." - Create Digital Music(2015)

"Beautiful, elegant, mysterious..." -Murcof (2015)

"We were blown away..."
- Rewire Festival organisation about the live show (2014)

"Fascinating!"
- Hubble Space Telescope (ESA) about the Cynquery video (2015)
