Inspiration: August 2008

On a more or less regular basis I'm planning to post material which inspires or touches me in one way or another, let it be a video clip, a music track, a photo or anything else.



The above video clip is taken from the amazing movie Baraka, directed by Ron Fricke. Get the DVD if you can! The music in the clip is Dead can Dance - The host of Seraphim and it's one of the most emotional and powerful tracks I know.

New reviews & webography launched

I found two new nice reviews of my album Radio Silence. The first one is written by Alejandro Hinojosa from Amazings.com.

This composer succeeds in creating an unusual kind of Ambient with this album, with beauty and mystery at the same time, and inspired by the indefinible charisma of the radio as a pioneering means of telecommunication as well as one of the most important ways, if not the main one, through which music has been popularized in the last century.

Laying bare the imagined world “From a Silent Surface” opens the album with effects like sonic stonefalls on a synthetic lake while strange rustling and distorted non-human voices lurk just beyond the foreground. This builds up to a moody drum-esque rhythm and constantly passing air pads and refrains briefly rippling as if they're decayed sirens.

The mood gets thoughtful in the next track “Wishful Thinking”. Voices, including brief operatic vocals, and music are heard intermittently over the white noise of a radio being tuned while pads reverb around the soundscape. A lovely rippling melody on some kind of plucked instrument sound then comes in to finally be joined by a laid back rhythm.
