Music entered my life through rhythm long before it found structure. I began playing drums in 1989, rooted in rock, punk, hip hop and crossover, and spent my early years on stage rather than behind screens. In the mid-90s I played drums with the band Pencilcase before moving to England, where electronic music quietly rearranged my understanding of sound. Drum’n’Bass and Trip Hop became less genres than landscapes. A studio course in London at the turn of the millennium opened the door to digital production, while DJing, scratching and mixing added new ways of thinking about time, texture and space. After returning to Germany, music never disappeared — it simply waited, woven between studies, work and life. In 2025, after a long period of illness and introspection, the balance shifted. This album is the result: not a comeback, but a continuation. Music shaped by rhythm, restraint and distance — and by finally giving it the time it always asked for.
