Q:
Can you tell us a bit about how you came to be writing your
current style of music – how did it get started?
During the years I've got more and more
interested in exploring voices and getting back to acoustic
instruments, where I began, but still in an electronic music
environment. Vocals can be very effective to express emotions
and Omnimotion is about expressing emotions, exploring beauty
and telling stories through dreamy music. Further I wanted
make a very honest album, purely what I feel inside and
not supposed to be anything more or less or cool or so.
Q :
With Dream Wide Awake being your second release- what
differences are there from your first CD?
Dream Wide Awake is much more accoustic,
vocal based and very diverse .
My first album, Omnimotion, is very chilled and I used the
voices more as instruments there.
Q :
Your sound has a distinctive intimacy about it – how
do you achieve the current unique feel of Omnimotion in the
studio?
Thank
you. I think that is the result of being honest and listening
within and expressing what comes from within.
I love to form emotions into sounds.
Q :
How did you come to sign with Aleph-Zero and what do you like
about the label?
First,
I love their releases.
They work global, professional and are very dedicated.
They are just great to have as a label.
Q :
What kept your lovely track Magic Tree (that was included
on Oxycanta) off the new album?
If I was the only one selecting the tracks for this album Magic
Tree would have been included. Alpeh Zero had a different
opinion and I agreed on excluding it.
Q :
You have a lot of unreleased pieces and other tracks featured
on various compilation CDs – what is your favourite
piece from these and why?
I believe
Magic Tree is my favorite of these.
It is very special and odd track with its strange structure.
A fast growing tree that creates a slow organic rhythm.
How I played the guitar making rhythms and the girl falling
telling a beautiful story and falling asleep on a branch.
It's very immersive.
Q :
What is Omnimotion's imagery and what is the brief for
this?
The title speaks for itself, Dream Wide Awake.
I always strive to express the dream state, all kinds of
beauty, the subtle, the innermost, the nostalgic, all sorts
of genuine strong emotions.
Q :
Do you have plans for a new album? If so how do you see your
sound developing?
Yes I'm already working on my new album
and the plan is to collaborate again with various artists,
exploring voices and acoustic elements and strive for
shaping timeless immersive highly emotional music :) It
will continue from the Dream Wide Awake sound and just
grow from there.
