islesofyou is the web app that will accompany and extend the coming Lump200 album Isles of You. It’s all about participation, co-creation and crowd recording. I’m developing this open and inclusive project platform in collaboration with gravity&storm.

Every project on islesofyou starts with a piece of time (image and sound matrix) on which users can easily record and publish their own audio contributions, voice, music, whatever sounds. All published takes can be arranged and edited on the matrix – a variety of versions co-exist and can be shared as widgets. A beta version of islesofyou will be introduced with the 2nd single from the album in February 2023.

In the first stage islesofyou will be free and open to anyone – curators and contributors. So, feel free to come back and have a try in about two months.

Since some months I’ve been heading for a new release. With the developers from gravity&storm we’ve been doing a series of research for a social audio web app with a focus on participation and crowd composing. Together with the coming Lump200 album a public first version of the app will be dropping and can be tested by you quite soon. First single and more information will be ready in December.

A new radio play by Michael Stauffer. He used some beats of mine. It is about climate change, science, politics and how different generations deal with it. Or don’t. It is a WDR 3 production and can be heard here.

An animated illustration by Petra Péterffy for track #13 on BEFORE THE MOON. Pull the daisies. Push you can later.

„Was fehlt noch, nach zwölf Monaten voller Tonträger? Vielleicht dieser Alpenfolk der Andersdenkenden.[…] Es gibt keine Erklärungen zu diesem schönen Wagnis, und doch ist es ein Manifest.“

This excellent work by Gabriela Loeffel gets the Schweizer Kunstpreis today. Congrats and it was a pleasure to compose and to produce the title melody for it:

A very rich platform for urban music and media work from all over the world. An exhibition on tour – currently at ZKM Karlsruhe – and a book. In the exhibition there is a little contribution of mine to be found. But that is not why I post this here. I post because it is definitely worth visiting Norient from time to time. Have a look.

Who has been dopest for years and still is? Again and again?

Life is a tale
Told by a Finn
Signifying anything

And thanks. What a setting, what a performance.
