if you come with me

Den Tag lang zu viel Kaffee
des Abends voll am Rade gedreht

Das geht hier so nicht weiter
vor lauter Vielfalt regiert die Einfalt
Die Ruhe kehrt ein nachdem die Lichter ausgehn
und endlich falln die Augen einfach zu 

Wie versteinert liegt man da
dreizehn halbe Stunden

Vieles kann geschehen während dieser Zeit
der Geist dreht seine Runden und ist bald bereit
wofür? für das Abendmahl, im Vereinslokal
die Partei hat uns den Aufenthalt verwehrt
doch das ist egal, denn der Wendepunkt steht kurz bevor.

Der Forscher studiert die Situation
und fragt sich, was den Träumer bewegt

Ein Leben im Dienste von nichts und niemand
und völlig im Freiflug da gehn die Uhren anders

Und auch im Labor kann man es nachvollziehn
am Elektroenzephalogramm

Wie versteinert liegt man da
dreizehn halbe Stunden

Alles ist geschehen während dieser Zeit
flächendeckend abgedrehte Energie
und dann zünde Kerzen an, mach den Ofen warm
die Menschen sammeln sich und teilen in der Not
es gibt zwar nicht viel, doch alle sind jetzt gut versorgt

Wie versteinert liegt man da
dreizehn halbe Stunden

13 halbe Stunden

Need Me More- Demo

joergmueller and Boris Rogowski have known each other since their school days in a small town on the outskirts of Cologne, Germany. Their musical paths, however, did not really cross until 2022. Coming from quite different corners of the sonic universe (joergmueller’s oeuvre concentrates on Dub and Techno while Boris Rogowski currently focuses on Modern Classical/Post Rock composition and film soundtracks), they discovered that they have a common love for Ambient music.
Their collaborative album “Peregrines” is a work based on joergmueller’s Reclamation Patch, a modular setup which absorbs all incoming signals into a stream of sound whose precise workings are impossible to exactly predict, yet undeniably sensible. It does not allow performers complete control, but those willing to venture deeper into the seemingly chaotic terrain stand the chance of uncovering its very own beauty. This beauty, much like nature’s beauty, is fleeting, raw, often difficult to grasp – yet quite undeniable. The name Reclamation Patch is an ode to that quality: it hints at nature’s way of taking back seemingly tamed terrain, opening up cracks and crevices in man-made structures and filling them with new life.
The five pieces on the album were conceived during three long sonic expeditions guided by said patch which processed input from different analogue synthesizers, guitars, custom-built electro-acoustic instruments and other sources. During those journeys, the distinct interests and abilities of the two musicians proved a perfect match: joergmueller’s deep knowledge of modular synthesis and rhythmical prowess allowed him to act as captain, creating a sort of structure for the music, while Rogowski’s interest in harmony, narrative and atmosphere steered them toward melodic, almost symphonic terrain.
Retrospectively, their musical travels reminded the two creators of naturalist excursions, especially of J.A. Baker’s legendary poetic account of his birdwatching expeditions in eastern England, “The Peregrine” – after which the album was named.
