What you could develop from a four-tone motif.

Titelbild der CD Abstraktes. Ein undefinierbares leuchtend blaues Objekt vor schwarzem Hintergrund. Es scheint sich schnell zu bewegen.

An exhibition of musical imagery – ranging from intimate guitar miniatures and improvisations to dramatic sci-fi soundtracks, faux-folk, and layered guitar textures.
A summary of my seventeen-year expedition into computer-based music. At times surprising, featuring unusual timbres and time signatures, and occasionally presented with a touch of playfulness. And, of course, AI-free.
