demi moon | AD/DA (live)

Created in my new house in Gothic, a change of feeling, a new start, a fresh mind, and the continuity of the never-ending process of wanting to create things that keep me active.

Created with the Syntrx II and mostly Ableton, using a Max for Live device I stumbled upon while watching a YouTube video. This project had been sitting in my Ableton folder for a long time — honestly, I had forgotten about it. The day I moved into the new place, I got curious about some old projects I’d left behind, and this was the one I decided to restart from the beginning. New kick, new mix, everything redone, because it felt outdated. I’m always trying to improve the music I make, in my own eyes.
So here is the first track, 08013, from the four-track EP.


Pablo Hoffman - DOGGY-BAG - 01 Pablo Hoffman - 08013

A journey into understanding what the Syntrx II is capable of.
Created from a sense of urgency to make a track that could close my Into the Woods set.
A busy piece, born from pure experimentation with patches and the ideology of “never enough” in sound design.
Always hunting for that euphoric moment of I’ve never heard this before, and I want to hear it through some Funktion Ones.
Constantly chasing myself to create something exciting, something that keeps growing.


Pablo Hoffman - DOGGY-BAG - 03 Pablo Hoffman - 08018

An oldie but a goldie.
A touch of Syntrx II blended with the Octatrack to create a soundscape that never gets boring, a feeling of power through peace and patience, running into the night. This track sets the foundation for the rest of the evening. A slow burner with a heavy kick, layered hats, and coordinated claps.

Hardware Dreams Live @ Hangar x Barcelona Modular Society

I took the chance to play at a private event in Mena and tried out a new and minimalistic live set approach, as there was no space for my modular beside the Turntables. I used pre-recorded modular loops from my Verbos System and layered them on top of each other using the Octatrack, and the TR8 delivered the rhythmic backing with some classic XOX sounds.

Thanks to everyone who filled the room and danced with me for a groovy hour. The compliments  I received after the performance mean a lot to me!

Hey my name is Tim and I am an electronic musician based in Berlin, Germany.
I get inspiration from various genres of electronic music and try to combine these influences with my fascination for modular synthesis and music technology in general to create new atmospheric driven music.

Sometimes I spin some records too :)
