TheSlowMusicMovement Looking out of the window at another grey & dispiritingly rainy day; contemplating my vitamin D reserves & potential ark living; the tape faded melancholy & neoclassical teasing ambient sounds of Oberlin soundtracking the trickling of time are the perfect, if somewhat accentuating, accompanying score.

about

The hourglas (Stundenglas) visualizes the slow trickling of time. It is like a daydream (Tagtraum), which evokes passed moments fleetingly. Memories of children´s games (Kinderspiele) appear in an old room full of dusty books (Bücherstaub). Blue hydrangeas (Blaue Hortensien) standing in a vase on the window sill, next to them there lies a letter to Gertrud (An Gertrud), which is written on a paper of nearly the same colour as the flowers. In the furnace wet splinters (Feuchte Späne) are drying to enlighten the next fire. Adieu


An album of memories, recorded with a piano, a guitar and a modular eurorack synth in November/December 2017 in Oberlin´s home-studio in Koblenz, Germany.
