From minimalist tones to lush, experimental layers. A narrative of genres like ambient, classical music, experimental folk or krautrock. Suitable for slow mornings and introspective daydreams.

Further explorations into the echo chamber, what starts off as one take can often lead on to another. Experimentation with sounds, spatial effects, kaleidoscopic meltdowns and more… Preparing for a long trip is never easy, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Luckily we like to keep it short and sweet here, straight to the point and no messing about!

Twice does not lead to a tradition - but it feels like playing for @swimsupply 🏊 . Whenever the community organisation focusing on lysergic sounds calls, I am more than happy to meet beloved Ellen, Mark Lando and Tesdorpf and to play for their fine events.

So here is a 2h recording from my gig at Wurm in Basel / Switzerland a few months ago where I met and played with fantastic @sellyourmania and @sprtsmanship and its a rare past forward 🦦💃.

Torpedo ahoy! Valentin invites you to Polly's Square Dance Session. An hour of creaky energy dossier. Gather friends and foes and then dive headfirst into the gutter. Let's go for a one-legged Tanz unter Tassen.

Time and space or is it time and place: young guys making old stuff sound new, or new stuff which sounds old? A formula one never seems to tire of especially in this day and age where all is accessible and so many boundaries are blurred.

Looking back and remembering the times one would kick dust across the dancefloor in a nonchalant sway… Forgotten memories of the past replaced by a screen as a modern window to escapism. However sad these prospects might seem, wherever or whenever one listens to sound there is always room for some glimmers of hope sparkling in ones mind and waiting to be let out. The future depends on how you build it, just make sure the foundations are solid and the rest will follow!
