Cemetery

Faunipulate ~ I designed this track with controlled chaos in mind, the name is a representation of how us beings have manipulated the fauna around us, the respect of the environment is always priority.

Every sound is a modular approach to sound design, using some awesome M4L devices to map the parameters at random but keeping a controlled rhythm, sitting at 120BPM we're just chilling to the dub soundscapes. 

Thank you for listening, Legends <3

Some things just take their time. And in an accelerated world like ours, this isn’t the worst approach you can take. When I started my little Messy Mix project three years ago, @will_samson was actually the first person I approached for a contribution. But well, then life happened and although it changed quite a bit for the both of us during that time, I’m happy that we’re now getting a full-circle-moment with Mr. Samson in the form of a truly beautiful musical journey that is his very own Messy Mix.

With his “Sounds Of The Earth” set the acclaimed songwriter and ambient composer created something that’s close to his own music - full of textures, exciting little twists and a raw unfiltered spirit that’s been fascinating me about his releases for more than a decade now. “I thought a lot about what theme to focus on for this mix and I kept returning to the idea of organic sounds,” Samson describes the mix: “Whether it is folk, electronic or something else, the music I'm always most drawn to has a warm, earth-like quality.” 

For the songwriter who has resided in Portugal in recent years this approach is not just about using the actual sounds of nature: “From analogue recording to sampling or the simple use of acoustic instruments, there are many ways that these audio characteristics present themselves.” And within this hour you’re getting all of it in a very satisfying way.

“Sounds Of The Earth” is a mix like a scuba dive, one that invites you all to let yourself fall into these immersive organic sounds in order to feel connected to the earth and perhaps maybe even escaping the digital chaos for a moment. At least that’s the wish of Will Samson and it’s also mine. Needless to say, I’m thrilled to finally have him on board for this beautiful Messy Mix. Please make sure to check out the rich and beautiful back catalogue of Mr. Samson on his Bandcamp as well.

Balance

A quiet transition: The music begins like light touching water—tentative, fleeting, almost uncertain. Lines unfold gently, as if the day were saying goodbye not with finality, but with a lingering thought. Sounds rise, drift, return—like wind moving through trees without asking to stay.

This is no dramatic sunset, but a fading. Harmonies dissolve, rhythms slow, until everything settles into a moment of stillness. An evening that doesn’t begin, but yields—like a memory that warms without asking.

When Day Falls Into Evening

Part 6 of the Series inspired by the book "Why we Sleep" by Matthew Walker; inspired by Thom Yorke's work -- keeping all proportions of course.  This is an exercise in learning step sequencing, analog synths (plugins anyway) in Logic Pro.   Also an exercise on how to use textures and real sounds as pads.  Reversed effected songs, etc.

Cycles

As Wolf Hagen, I compose music for the silence between the notes. Drawing from the tradition of great masters like Bach and Pachelbel, I find inspiration to weave baroque clarity with the emotional complexity of our time.
The interplay of piano and cello stands at the heart of my work – two voices that complement, challenge, and exist in harmonic tension with each other. I add orchestral elements with care, never to dominate, but to open spaces: for reflection, for stillness, for those precious moments of pause.
My compositions are not statements, but invitations – to discover hidden emotions, to find quiet in a noisy world.

Sonic excursions.

Aggregation of marginal gains.

Ambient western instrumentals. Reverb-soaked guitar, late-night pedalboard musings, and echoes of Gilmour and Frisell. and Yorke.

Hey there self-releaser / artist / weirdos--I want to get to know more creative people. As for me, I make this stuff and produce+mix+master professionally. I've started animating and making videos too.
