My musical journey began with classical guitar in my childhood. It took quite some time until I found a way to create my own music. I always had this notion that you need fellow musicians to write music, but I was never comfortable jamming around with others.
Someday I went to a concert of Owen Pallett at a festival and saw what a great show you can pull off just by yourself if you have a few hardware helpers. So then a little later to fill a void in my life I bought my first looper pedal and this really gave my creative journey the right direction. It all started with a few guitar loops, which I thought were worthy of being arranged into a song. That’s how I got into recording and production.
As the years went by I extended my pedal arsenal and made more and more use of field recordings and artificial sounds. My genre of choice can probably best be described as ambient and drone. I always try to tell a story with my music, very much inspired from godspeed you! black emperor’s epic works. My latest influence stems from experimental electronic artists such as emptyset, Blanck Mass or Roly Porter.
I like to base my albums around topics that fascinate or frighten me. The influences that went into the first two albums were climate change and the destruction of our natural habitat through technological advancements.
