This Track combine (self-)generatived music with animated field recordings. The electronic music was generated with a virtual modular synth. Another part consists of field recordings that have been alienated. In addition, self-generated music was animated and recorded at runtime.

Introduction in English:

My uncle, who became a sort of surrogate father to me after my father's untimely death, celebrates his 91st birthday in July. His wife had passed away some time ago and he had been single ever since. 
About five years ago, he visibly harbored the intention of ending his life in Switzerland with active euthanasia. 
Then, surprisingly, an elderly lady (about five years younger than him) moved into the apartment next door. She had also been widowed for some time.
Both got to know each other and fell in love. 
And even today they seem to be freshly in love with each other when I visit and they are sitting snuggled up on my uncle's old sofa. 
A scene that gives me hope and shows me that love can "catch" you even in old age. 
And a scene that was the starting point for the creation of the song "I`m in Love" posted here.  

Lyrics (for those, who don`t speak German)

I`m in Love

First verse:

I had already counted the days one by one,
I struggled out of bed every morning
Went all crooked and awry 
Had long since lost my hair

In Switzerland I had already ordered my coffin
For my gradual departure from the world
My heart pacemaker gave me the last groove

But suddenly a neighbor moved in
As wrinkled as me
In her nature beautiful and fine
I put down my suitcase for Switzerland for now

Second verse:

The next day she knocked on my door
She imagined she was here forever now
In her old eyes I saw the young woman

How she walked, how she sat, how she read in the newspaper
Her décolleté behind folds shapely and delicate
Her grace, elegance, like a lustful silent dance

Before she left again she embraced me 
My dusty self was enchanted
Instead of abandonment and renunciation a love poem flowed through me





Introduction in German:

Mein Onkel, der nach dem frühen Tod meines Vaters eine Art Ersatzvater für mich geworden ist, feiert im Juli seinen 91. Geburtstag. Seine Frau war schon länger verstorben und er seitdem alleinstehend. 
Vor ca. fünf Jahren  hegte er zusehends die Absicht, seinem Leben in der Schweiz mit aktiver Sterbehilfe ein Ende zu setzen. 
Dann zog überraschend eine ältere Dame (etwa fünf Jahre jünger als er) in die Nachbarswohnung ein. Auch sie war schon längere Zeit verwitwet.
Beide lernten sich kennen und verliebten sich ineinander. 
Und auch heute noch wirken Sie wie frisch verliebt ineinander, wenn ich Sie besuche und sie eng aneinander geschmiegt auf dem alten Sofa meines Onkels sitzen. 
Eine Szene, die mir Hoffnung macht und mir zeigt, dass die Liebe einen auch noch im hohen Alter "erwischen" kann. 
Und eine Szene, die den Ausgangspunkt für die Entstehung des hier geposteten Songs "I`m in Love" bildete.

I`m in Love

I`m In Love

We all do it...Feeling empty, Procrastinating while seemingly searching for the right direction...a true direction.
When will you make the Move????

Here is a preview track from our brand new EP entitled Movements of a Cloud. After collaborating together on previous releases, we thought it would be interesting to try something different for our next project.  Our idea was to create a concept EP that takes the listener on a sonic journey through the changing seasons.  To achieve this, we’ve blended ambient/sound-work, chamber music, field recordings, orchestral and cinematic soundscapes.  To round the project off, we decided to include photos and artwork reflecting nature and the seasons.

It's been a great pleasure, indeed...to have worked on this project with the amazing @minimal_drone_grl

This EP is being released on the great Bricolage Records label and is available for pre-order now at:

The release date is February 25, 2022

This is a very brief demo of the Risset Harmonic Oscillator instrument I made for the Qu-Bit Nebulae v2 synthesizer module to give some idea of what it sounds like. Recorded direct, no effects.

Guide (the timings may not be exact, bt they should be in a right ballpark):

0:00-0.12: Fade in using amplitude control; triangle wave, minimum offset (full CCW)

0:13-0:36: Offset at about 35%, more arpeggio effect

0:37-1:17: Increasing the offset, eventually to max (full CW), then back to 35%

1:18-1:49: Start morphing through the waveforms, full CCW to full CW

1:50-2:04: Stay on Fibonacci wave (full CW) for a bit

2:05-2:28: Moving CCW, stopping very briefly at each waveform (approximately), ending up at triangle and staying there

2:29-2:40 : Start panning , going up to about 30%

2:41-3:16 Increase panning speed in increments, eventually reaching max (full CW)

3:17-end: Back to about 305 panning speed, then fade out using amplitude control
