Motives For Recycling
2024 stock. The fashionable term “remix” is often based on a misunderstanding. To re-mix a piece of music means to mix all tracks of a multi-track recording in a new way. Putting the complete piece (the sum of all tracks) through the wringer means “recycling”. Before starting the recycling two questions might arise: “Why recycle this piece?” and “Are the structure and sound of the piece convenient for recycling?” The ability to answer these questions depends more or less on the artist’s percepti…

With the passing of time it has become nearly impossible to find many the or…
Spires
*2024 cd version reprint* "Bright lights of impossible architecture, airwaves are your travelling wings. I rode up some of those ones, it was already night. It looked like some future city, lights of villages on the other hills below as far as light not obscuring. Interesting scene. Invisible city of trees. Continuing its spiritual journey, where the self-titled LP was inspired by erosion and the jaws of time as an elemental force, “Spires” explores its vision in the forward vector, a future man…

After the rain
*100 copies limited edition* Compositions for imaginary landscapes. Revisiting landscapes through music. The concept of landscape is a personal subjective case for each of us, as it exists from the moment a sensory frame is first observed and created through our gaze. The connection with a landscape is directly related to its sound environment, either from sounds that naturally pre-exist in it, or from sound interventions or music that enters it, creating a dynamic relationship. However, the way…
