FREISCHWIMMER LOST AT SEA

About Me



my music evolved from an attempt to create a low tech soundtrack for a short film, which was itself an extension of my painting practice. The film focussed on isolation in a man made environment, and the sounds captured were resonances of architectural space, the textures of mechanical machinery and the distant traces of human presence. from here I have developed and varied my approaches to music to include found domestic sounds, the properties of everyday objects, playing instruments within a particular setting and always with a focus on the medium of recording (both analogue and digital) and an attempt to capture a particular atmosphere.
