Here is some music I made in collaboration with Chris Gogler. We recorded his amazing voice and lyrics in my 8 square metre room in Neukölln in 2012. Somehow, in March this year the time came to finish the piece... Chris is a heroic being and helped me so much during my time in Berlin. I will always be grateful that I came in contact with his courage, wisdom and heart. Check out his amazing hooping skills here: https://www.facebook.com/csectionhoops Thanks Chriiiiiis ♥

”Polyrhythm and the Macro/Micro Perspective”

Here is some artwork I created for Finn Rhodes’ new Techno project Biomass.

Better known as Lumen for his relentless, snarling trance productions and live sets, Rhodes is coursing deep and slowing down with his more recent work.

If you know Lumen, Biomass might sneak up on you... https://soundcloud.com/bbiomass

We had a lovely discussion about music and life in the lead up to this collaboration. Abbreviated and simplified; we realised that if every physical process is cycling independently, then like a complex polyrhythm, there are bound to be moments when the cycles unite to start again... Think eclipses... Cyclic theories of the universe... Or that first contact with someone you feel you’ve somehow arranged to meet...

From polyrhythm and the macro/micro perspective, emerged this arrangement of tiny seedpods. The germination of Biomass.

Thanks for the opportunity Finn :)

I was in the company of my dear friend James Ring when he brought out his latest puppet creation. I grabbed a camera and shot his improvisation. It looked like this.
