Amrum

drone ambient / ambient techno / ambient

Amrum is a beautiful island in the North Sea. It is known for its white dunes, long beaches and the peace and seclusion. In summer the island is a popular vacation destination for families. It was a strangely low vacation.

My son breaks his arm on the very first day and I hear it crack. 17 hours later I learn that one of my friends is dying with a brain tumor.

What had happened and what was to come circled through my head. In addition, there were the dunes, the beaches, the relations and how fast things change and where one stands in life.
The joint family vacation didn't turn out to be exactly what we had hoped for (although I can really recommend Amrum to anyone). I drove around the island alone, listening to Dodheimsgard's "Black Medium Current" and lots of ambient (love Toán). I drank lethargic coffees and took some field recordings and photos off the cuff.

The album "Amrum" captures this time and thoughts. Things spread out, are slow in change and then end. Abstract, flowing, in my form.

My friend died on October 14, 2023, and even if he preferred to listen to Japanese metal, this is for him.
