About Me

Music is the result of the nonterminating process known as absorption and creation. It could be allegorized as a black box with feelings, memories and assoziations as its input. The output is music, which itself evokes a unique mood in the listener.
My music has always had a very personal character since it could be seen as a direct transformation of my inner self. Influenced by numerous different genres it mainly features deepness - both in the sounds and in the compositions itself.
I'm studying computer science and maybe my fascination for science and technology is reflected in the aspiration for the perfection of sound creation.
My musical output is currently focusing on the genre of Meditative and Dark Ambient, Experimental Drone and Soundscape, but I'm also producing a wide variety of sounds under the Aliases 'DNS' (currently defunct) and 'Gras'.
The alias 'False Mirror' derives from a painting by Rene Magritte and punctuates the somehow surrealistic mood of my Music.
Some of the sounds in my tracks are synthesized with both - hardware and (sometimes selfmade) software synthesizeres. But there are also lots of other sound sources and instruments I use, like tibetan singing bowls, flutes, mouth organ, accordion and of course field recordings of birds, trees, rivers, the sea, tunnels, subterranean garages, scrap metal, etc. I sometimes also experiment with my voice which can be heard on some tracks.
I am open for any kind of collaboration. If you are interested just feel free to contact me.
