250303a - Lyra Musings 2

It has been a while since I uploaded anything on my channels. It has been a while that I was creative in general - but I'm slowly coming back after the hot weather knocked by brain totally out. Meanwhile I've build a new setup that I performed last week at "Meet the Machines" in Hannover for the very first time. Feedbacks where great, even though I was not convinced about my set as I had not rehearsed enough and I had some new gear that I didn't played enough as well. 

My new setup is quite complex even the instruments seem to be easy. I will write a separate post about it, for now I will simply list the gear for you guys:

Elektron Digitakt (Drums, Midi, Main Hub)
Roland T-8
Roland S-1
Soma Rumble of Ancient Times 
Soma Cosmos
Strymon Big Sky
The Pill Pedal 
Endorpin.es Golden Master Pedal 
Kenton Midi Thru 12
Cre8audio Assembler 

The track is titled "Riding The Edge". Enjoy!

Monday August 4th 2025 Swirling Around

In September, I’ll be performing several ambient shows and have already started preparing for them. This piece, which I’ve titled Rise, reminds me of that moment just before sunrise. The textures were created using a glockenspiel and the Soma Cosmos. For these shows, I want to bring more acoustic elements into my sets, and I’m currently putting together a kind of “sound toolkit” made of different sonic objects.

Rise

“Swim To You” has a long and rather unique journey behind it.

The original piece was composed for a temporary art installation called "Shopping Bag". Back then, it was performed entirely on the Vermona Performer—some of those original sounds still remain in this new version.

I loved the textures so much that I decided to release it as a single titled "Swim To You". A singer-songwriter later added vocals, turning it into a calm, chill-out track.

Months later, I created a dance remix for my first vinyl album "Forget About The Music", where the track was also released as a single.

The song eventually reached Swiss artist "Ingeborg", who sent me a reel with spontaneous vocals recorded over "Swim To You". I loved it immediately, and together we developed a new version, which became a new song titled "Siren".

Ingeborg later reworked the Siren vocals again, transforming the piece into a completely new standalone track with the same title, carried by her extended vocal lines. It was released on August 25. 

Finally, when I began revisiting my older material as ambient reinterpretations, I returned once more to "Swim To You" and created a very small sample set of the stems. This latest version reshapes the song into an ambient soundscape, performed on the Solar 42F and Soma Cosmos.

Deep into the Cosmos

Und noch ein kleiner Track, der größtenteils mit dem Mega Synthesis und etwas SOMA Cosmos erstellt wurde, den Rest habe ich mit etwas EQ, Gain und etwas Reverb in LUNA aufgepeppt. Bei der Mischung habe ich einfach den Stereotrack aufnommen und direkt mit wenigen Insert-Effekten, überwiegend Gain, abgesenktes 30Hz Band und eine zarte Anhebung bei 15 kHz, auf die Summe noch leichtes Reverb gelegt und das Delay hat der Cosmos von SOMA spendiert.

I have two musical directions, I play,

classical music for the shakuhachi
(an end blown bamboo flute), and I play,
compose, and perform experimental
electronic music. All the electronic music I
compose and perform is and can be done
in real-time (i.e. I don't use multi-tracking
or computer manipulation for my compositions).
Whenever I record anything, either electronic
or on the shakuhachi, it is done in real-time
just as it would have been done on the stage
or in an intimate setting.
