MINI-INTERVIEW
What have you been up to since the last mix?
Still driven by emotive film-like storytelling with stirring sounds and composition here in Kiel at the Baltic Sea. After my album Letzten Endes from 2015, there have been three successors: Brach auf, setting the dark romanticism of the awe-inspiring forces of nature to sound mass compositions. “Assassinous Act”, a soundtrack for a fictional film noir. Both ones appeared on the Californian label Time Released Sound and were based on collages of processed samples.
In contrast stand “Letzten Endes” and the latest album “Als je zuvor”, both on the Belgian label Off Rec., pursuing compositionally a more classical approach: first composing on the piano, then clothing these basic versions with organic electronic sounds and the contribution of collaborative instrumentalists. On the new album, these are long-term collaborators Maria Estrella Aggabao with elysian vocals and Tetsuroh Konishi with trumpet playing of admirable versatility.
Every album is a hybrid of ambient, drone doom, ethereal, neo-classical and jazz noir elements in a cinematic fashion, with reflective, majestic as well as threatening qualities – at least that’s what I’m aiming for.
I consider myself also lucky that I got a number of great remixes by very potent producers, interpreting the material in imaginative groove-oriented ways, thus broadening the experience.
What is this mix all about?
The mix is a selection of current favourite tunes of mine, arranged in a -hopefully- captivating flow. A haunting tale of neo-classical, lyric jazz and cinematic electronic styles, striding across a film-like spectrum, merciless and cathartic, then again soothing and liberating beyond measure.
What do you have coming up on the horizon you’d like to share?
Kiel and San Francisco (respectively the Bay Area) recently have become sister cities officially. I’m about to conceive a collaborative musical project, bringing together sounds and inspirations from both cities to form a sister city soundtrack, also incorporating processed historic regional compositions.
New material exploring new shades of the Morgen Wurde cosmos is in the
making also 🙂
