Introduction to the music

Introduction to my music:

" My minimalist electro-acoustic music, draws on my inspiration from American minimalism, musique concrete, electronica and post-rock/pop, which I without doubt stand on the shoulders of. Repetitive patterns and patchwork, which acts as architectural building blocks and piles, gets filled up with climatic spatial moods and atmospheres. In other selected pieces there is an absence of concrete structures, as I try to create empty pockets of time and airy space. I work with light, temperature and timbre "klangfarben", a lot like a traditional painting and sculpting artist. In many ways it's my fascination about working with computermusic, that you're working directly on the sounding material, at the same time it still fascinates me, how expressive acoustic instruments can be. I've wanted to create a more conceptually composed expression where there is an entity present in the "sound" I use and with some clear-defined tonal means. For this I have some specific practices and sound libraries, which I regularly use. I collect audio, as others collect stamps. Another of my practices is that I sample fragments of classical music from audio CDs and rework it to become my own material and record acoustic fragments with various musicians and orchestras, sections from my own compositions and manipulate them into new pieces together with the electronic manipulations. I also make field recordings in good Pierre Schaeffer spirit, and sound processes, recomposes, restructure the material, until I feel that I have the "right"expression. I still compose in a traditional score form, but it is not crucial to me that the pieces must be present in this format anymore. A score is only a communicative possibility among others. The recording has become the finished work. Therefore, I plan to record all my future works and published them in the coming years, a mindset I have not had before. This shall be done in a new inspirational way together with my paintings, photographs, mixed media and additional videos".

" I'm not really a traditional composer of new classical music or a typical songwriter of rock music, nor am I an nerdy electronic musician. I'm surely a strange hybrid, in between."
