Taking the risk to repeat myself, I am always amazed about the roots and triggers of inspiration in general and in music for me. Sometimes, it’s obvious, sometimes, it’s a mix of a thousands things. In any case, it’s not always easy to identify, but usually funny to recognize! For this song, here are some hints...

Of course, as you can guess from its name, first is the city of Montreux itself… beautifully nestled between steep Alps hills and peaceful lakeside of Lac Leman: local, exotic, relaxing and creative all together.

Then, still talking about this town, less about its landscape and more about its world famous July's Montreux Jazz Festival, it leads to the second inspiration: Deep Purple' Smoke on the Water. Yes, sure, you know the story. If not, you should!

Also, the style of this track has been greatly shaped upon the influence of fabulous @AcuteInflections: yes, I like that "velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass" of those 2 New Yorkers!

And finally, regarding 18:20? I'm sure you will figure it out by yourself...

But, still, the path from the initial idea to the song you can hear now was long. The few basic tones crystallized from a small game I do play to warm up my fingers on the guitar, moving it from warming-guitar-tone-exercise to piano/contrabass based track was pretty fun, but it wasn’t enough. Something was missing and there I got help from Blaž Pavšič, who produced the final version of the track, supplementing it with awesome percussion.

Hope you will find the outcome of this collaboration as nice as I do. You better do, as I can promise it's won’t be the only one ;-)

"Fluidity" is a slow immersion into a fluid, cinematic soundscape. Blending ambient, experimental electronica, and textured sound design, each minute invites you to drift deeper.

No rigid beats, no imposed rhythm — just evolving pads, ethereal glitches, and a continuous sense of weightless motion. It’s musical breathing, a moment suspended in space.

💡 Perfect for creating, meditating, or traveling deep within.
🎧 Best experienced on headphones to capture the full subtlety of the mix.

📅RELEASE 30.08.2025📅

This time a mix between current mood (mentioned before) and summer vibe. 

Aurora in the Desert is a cinematic and hypnotic journey, blending the deep pulse of Organic House with the slow, immersive flow of Downtempo and the tribal heartbeat of Deep Afro. Layered with ambient electronica textures and subtle industrial grit, the track unfolds like a surreal aurora shimmering above silent dunes - vast, intimate, and endlessly evolving.

Built on warm sub-bass, earthy percussion, and spacious atmospheres, it’s music for mindful listeners, late-night travelers, and seekers of hypnotic rhythm. No drops, no hooks - only motion, texture, and transformation.

Next ones will probably almost all have the same topic (systemic/institutional injustice) being emotional, deep, some with own lyrics (from soft, over direct with some anger and maybe last my first explicit song in German and English - well overdue here...^^) before I can really release other songs again...

Thanks for any support!

Aurora in the Desert

A song about the power of addiction and infatuation over the human condition and how obvious the right thing to do might seem, but how much we still hold on to people, habits, and things that take us down.

LYRICS:

Intro:


Take me down...


Verse 1:


Remember when we used to stare up at the stars

Nothing in this world quite like them

Shining in the dark

Remember when we used to gaze upon the sea

Nothing in this world quite like it

Made for you and me


Pre-chorus:


So won't you hold me

Love me


Chorus 1:


Take me down (so won't you)

Take me down (so won't you)

hold me 

love me

Take me down


Verse 2:


Remember when I used to fall into you arms

Nothing in this world so lovely

Lighting every spark 

Remember when we used to gaze into the pain

Nothing in this world so closely

Find me in the dark


Chorus 2:


Take me down (so won't you)

Take me down (so won't you)

hold me 

love me

Take me down


Outro:


So won't you

So won't you

So won't you

So won't you

why don't you

Take me down
