Ripple

As an intrepid traveler, bird sounds and song are collected and used as a sonic representation or souvenir of a certain place or country. Nature sounds are used as a sonic backdrop and function as a basso continuo under the sounds of the plucked strings. Further his musical projects range from these electro acoustic solo pieces, to the soft dreamy songs of duo Vi Vanellus, a new collaborative electronic setup with ‘- alyin -’, multi- instrumental experimentation, free improvisation, and various rock and pop bands.

Homage to
Josef Albers

In ‘Interaction of Colors’ Josef Albers writes about the interaction of colors, what happens between colors, and about the discrepancy between physical fact and psychic effect. Here ‘color’ is replaced with rhythm.
After recording the drumparts,  two musicians played on top, adding their interpretation of Albers’ work on top of the drumparts.
