The night was cold, the sky was clear
stars shot through the atmosphere

The night allowed no whispering sound
no drop of rain, no misting cloud
When suddenly that metallic craft shined
shared its warmth and peace of mind
Soothing melodies with it appeared
To fully delight! Who may have heard?

It came right out of the Orion’s eye
Said Hello and greetings, goodnight and Goodbye
Just a short visit, just bringing some bliss
Touched the soul gently, leaned in for a kiss
Then Leaped back where it came from
without any warn
That’s how Deep Sky Sketchbooks gets born.

Best with headphones!

The track leads through nightly winter landscapes. Not far a little town with its village church. The ringing bell invites for warmth and comfort in this triste and sleepy setting, invites to close the eyes and rest, letting winter pass.

This song originated from the Flotaing Buddha Pad I created with Nonlinear Labs C15. I just aimed to freestyle with the pad creating a soothing atmosphere. Quickly it inspired me to add more sound healing methods and meditation elements. Since I've had positive experience with binaural sound meditations I chose to record my new Singing Bowls tuned in C# and G#, layer them and let the sound ring left and right repeatedely. The winter landscape and the village bell came to life. Additionally I used a field recording I recorded in an actual winter landscape close to the woods. Finally, I chose to add a soothing melody with the acoustic guitar as main element and layer a second guitar as support.

The Floating Buddha Blues came to life.

Created for a DJ Set for my project @shenanigansmusic.

I used C15 by Nonlinearlabs, Erebus by Dreadbox and two analog FX Units to make this.

This track was born from the circuits of the Deepmind 6 I bought in 2020 or so. I started with the premise of creating a track only fiddling around with some of the synth's presets. I recorded a Rhode-like setup and improvised some crancy chord progressions, which later became the heart of this track. I loved the idea to give the song a little twist by starting with a very minimalistic techno ryhtm just to resolve it short after. Again, the finishing touch had been added way later, including some modular synth elements, such a upbeat synth, some blips and bleeps and some phasey noise.

Fluffmuff describes the tracks vibe perfectly. "Fluff", the german word for "fluffy" and "Muff", leaned on the German word "muffig" (either describing a moldy smell or a grumpy mood) kinda combined both sides of the track. A rather rough and moody sound that transforms into a smooth and fluffy experience.

Already from the very start I thought this song would be perfect for a festival summer setting in the early morning after a long party night right at the dawn of a new day; a transit from a dark night into a bright new day.

This creation goes way way back and was born in the early year of 2020 in the suburbs of Jakarta Indonesia. In early March, little did we know about how the world would turn in the following weeks, months and years ahead of us. The song is symbol for a very special moment in time, where life just shows in its beauty and you just happen to ride that perfect wave unfolding right in front of you, carries you to your high, just before - naturally - it breaks at the shore and disappears forever.

On my journey I met Miyane and Rendi, two beautiful beings earning a special place in my heart, quickly. Both just happened to live in the house next door to my residence. Rendi and I decided to have a little nighttime Jam - so I packed my laptop and he and I started to make some music and record it. I will never forget, when Rendi got so excited that he decided to wake up Miyane in order to join our session. Still very sleepy, she just took the mic and sang whatever came to her, expressing the perfect moment in words so vividly. The recording not just captured her beautiful voice, but also the nighttime noise in that room, mostly coming from the presence of Rendi, creating the perfect vibe and inspiration for the creation of the finished piece. This all happened somewhen at night at 3am, creating a memory that I hold so deep to my heart up to this very day. Much love to you Miyane and Rendi!
