It starts off abstract and stays abstract but I wouldn\u2019t say there\u2019s nothing to cling to. The sound evokes some sort of function in an industrial sense and I almost hate using that word since it comes with musical baggage. I\u2019m thinking more along the lines of asteroid mining. Maybe it\u2019s the scratching inside the mind of an insane gold miner grinding out into the goldless landscape like a bored hysteric during a bookless winter. Or frozen methane rain.

fusion-text-32\"><p>Joan Jordi Oliver (born 1994) is a musician from Spain based in Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland. As a saxophonist, composer, improviser, and producer of electronic music, his multifaceted artistic practice is based on constant exploration of new forms for musical expression that attempt to transcend aesthetic barriers and deny categorization.<\/p>\n<p>His work as a saxophonist and performer-composer pushes to expand the possibilities of his instrument and focuses on the hybridization of the acoustic saxophone with the endless possibilities of transformation afforded by the electronic medium, a process in which the voice of the instrument is completely transfigured. As a producer, he has immersed himself in sonic research that explores a different notion of sound as space, reflecting on concepts borrowed from drone and ambient music aesthetics. His latest creative efforts in this direction have culminated in his first two albums of experimental ambient music, Enlaire (2021) and soon Transit (2022).<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Read more <em><a href=\"https:\/\/endtitles.ch\/artists\/joan-jordi-oliver\/\">about the Artist&#8230;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-15 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: left top;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:20px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-28 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-29 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-33\"><h2 class=\"title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Meeting the artist.

Since the beginning, it was a conscious attempt to reflect my emotional state at a time of fast, deep changes. I found myself moving into a new country, coinciding with the end of my musical studies, pressured to integrate \u00a0myself in a new culture and set the foundation for the development of my musical career. Excitement and hope were often mixed with uncertainty and fear, and I had to re-evaluate a set of conceptions that were deeply assimilated. Everything was moving at an accelerated pace, and I became obsessed with the impossibility of permanence &#8211; the things we leave behind, the things we lose. That resulted, partly, in a search for relief that took the form of photography and field recordings &#8211; attempts to capture, to immortalize moments, attempts to give them a tangible form. Most of those field recordings ended up being an essential part of the sound world of <i>Transit<\/i>, like a sort of collection of emotionally charged moments now frozen in sound.<\/p>\n<p>The end of a relationship and having to temporarily relocate to my small hometown in Spain made the emotional foundation for <i>Transit<\/i> even more relevant. The writing process was a way to remain connected with myself, in an activity where I found excitement, authenticity and peace. It was at the same time a way to legitimize, and capture, the intensity of the emotions at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Creating the music for the album was a journey in itself. With a few exceptions, I composed the tracks in the order they appear in the album. This narrative, the sense of progression and the evolution of the musical material from one track to the next was intentional from a compositional perspective, but it also served as a documentation of my own personal process during those months. Those pieces became a sort of self-portrait evolving in time. Next to carefully crafted musical structures, I indulged myself with some more visceral gestures, specially in the introduction of field recordings. Many voice samples can be heard through the different tracks: they are messages from friends and loved ones from conversations we were having at the time of the composition. In the suffocating <i>Deeper inside we found the mess we made<\/i>, the heavy distorted sound of broadcasts on the Russian-Ukranian conflict screams through the track. The addition of this material, charged with personal meaning, to patiently produced musical content, felt like a comfortable and exciting approach to create this music.<\/p>\n<p>I made <i>Transit<\/i> with the hope that the music would deliver a strong sense of narrative. The use of these personal sonic materials, the pictures embedded in the field recording and the words of friends abstracted in sound certainly set a personal context around the album. At the same time, I do not attempt to fully reveal their meaning to the listener, not pinning down every single source or describing what each process and track should truly describe. I\u2019m deeply intrigued by this situation, where sounds that are deeply near to me may become abstract to others. I do wonder what kind of narratives the listener imagines while listening to the music, if there are any at all. But I do hope that <i>Transit<\/i> encourages imagination and invites its listener to their own sonic and personal journey.<\/p>\n<p><b>ET: What was your instrumental approach for \u00abTransit\u00bb?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>JJO:<\/b> When I begin composing, the choice of instrumentation is essential to the concept of the piece and suggests certain working strategies and compositional processes. I usually tend to follow a rather reductionist approach, sticking to a few sources and tools and exploiting their possibilities. I think this perspective responds to my background as a saxophonist &#8211; for many years, I developed a strong connection with a single instrument as my sole tool for musical expression. The electronic medium has expanded my sonic palette, but these deep relationships with certain instruments or tools have remained as the most comfortable routine for imagining music. Many of my works rely on electronic processing of my saxophones. The sound world of my first album, <i>Enlaire<\/i>, explored the digital transformation of a single synthesizer.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of <i>Transit<\/i>, however, I tried to be more generous and inclusive and explored multiple sound sources. I already described the integration of many field recording and speech samples, which added analogue depth and noisy material to the whole texture. The purely musical material was created using several analogue and digital synthesizers and an electric guitar. The original sources, however, are not interesting or relevant for the sound I\u2019m aiming towards: as in previous works, I rely on heavy digital transformations of these instruments to create something detached from their original sonic identities. In this sense, I\u2019m not a gear fetishist and do not care much about one source or another &#8211; sculpting, breaking, transforming sounds through digital means is what I\u2019m truly interested in. In that respect, I consider my DAW my real and ultimate instrument. I transform sound and create textures primarily using Max, and I structure those sounds and develop the composition in Reaper. I have a multitude of plugins and a few guitar pedals that I use to further transform sound, but I consciously try not to reveal their identity in a very transparent way in the music.<\/p>\n<p>My practice as a composer has been quite divided in between two approaches. On one hand, I conceive pieces designed for the stage, meant to be performative and quite gestural. The use of live electronics is my preferred method when working in this direction &#8211; I perform motives live and loop them, and I transform sounds in real time using custom Max patches. On the other hand, I produce tracks, relying on a slower process that favors care for smaller details and more complex structures. I still improvise and record gestures that become the sonic material of the piece, but sculpting, transforming, erasing and re-organizing becomes this slow, peaceful practice that allows me to create my pieces and gain independence from the gestural necessity of live performance. <i>Transit<\/i>, in this sense, was never meant to be a performative piece or a work that would be effective on stage: the album format is its final form and the individual, private listening situation on headphones its final goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-32 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:48%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-36\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><b>ET: What are your main music related influences?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>JJO:\u00a0<\/b>I discovered experimental electronic music and ambient works quite late in my career. I was very much this profile of a nerdy classical musician that knows extensively about the classical canon and academic literature but cannot name more than three songs from the Rolling Stones. I was, however, and still am, truly engaged with contemporary classical music, and explored very extreme approaches related to free improvisation and experimental music during my training. For several years, I played saxophone in a group dedicated to the music of Alvin Lucier, and toured the world next to this legend performing his new compositions. I didn\u2019t know the magnitude of those names when I first met them, but I have performed and recorded alongside Oren Ambarchi and Stephen O\u2019Malley from Sunn O))). I think this project with the music of Alvin Lucier was the origin of my fascination with drone music and its long, meditative but also powerful sustained tones.<\/p>\n<p>It was during the first lockdown in 2020, when my performative activity stopped, when I began diving deep in ambient music. The YouTube algorithm introduced me to Ryuichi Sakamoto, whose music left an instant and profound impression. I researched further from the figure of Sakamoto, and discovered artists like Fennesz or Sarah Davachi and labels like Touch, Mego, or Past Inside the Present. I consumed lots of music during those slow months, and felt deeply connected to the aesthetic of some of these artists. But if there was an artist that changed it all for me, that was Tim Hecker. His extensive work, with incredible emotional depth and complexity, obsessed me for months and years. I try to keep up to date with artists and labels, and try to listen to new music as much as I can. But the impressions that figures like Sakamoto and Hecker left in me still resonate loudly and feed my artistic desires. After that first lockdown and these meaningful musical discoveries, I felt encouraged to produce work in this direction and slowly began my own journey into ambient music.<\/p>\n<p><b>ET: Best loved hardware vs. Best loved software? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>JJO:\u00a0<\/b>As I mentioned before, I enjoy the digital medium as a means to sculpt and transform sounds. Creating new colors and sculpting textures in different shapes is the core of my compositional process. For these transformations, I use a multitude of plugins and granular strategies in environments like Max and Reaper. For me, the combination of these two is indispensable when creating music.<\/p>\n<p>I do not own much hardware gear. I count on a few synthesizers that I now know quite well, like the Behringer Model D, which was my very first synthesizer and which I still use in almost all of my works, both for stage and for production. There is however a piece of analogue gear that is incredibly rich in its sonic possibilities and that I\u2019m lucky to have mastered &#8211; the saxophone! I purposely avoided using it in my two first albums in order to force myself to explore different tools, but I\u2019m keen to integrate it again in my current works. I find the combination of saxophone and synthesizer sounds deeply fascinating, and my next project explores this combination extensively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>ET: Thank you, Joan.

I like the idea of restricting myself to one source of sound and mangling it in various ways. Quite often I challenge myself by choosing an instrument I&#8217;m not really capable of playing (e.g. piano, recorder or blues harp) which contributes to the experimental character of these releases.<\/p>\n<p><b>ET: What was your instrumental approach for \u00abSubkreska\u0135aro\u00bb? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SS:<\/b> Honestly \u2013 just playing around. The album is a documentation of my first steps on the instrument which I gave myself as a christmas present. It was badly adjusted at that time \u2013 e..g. the string action was too low &#8211; and I also had to get used to the big scale of the fingerboard. I tried various combinations of analog and digital effects and just started recording.<\/p>\n<p><b>ET: Tell us more about your work as a classical guitar teacher? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SS:<\/b> I work as a teacher for classical guitar at two music schools in Baden-Baden and Karlsruhe. Most of my students are children between 6 and 18 years. Some of them are very open minded, dedicated and curious so it can be a quite rewarding work. I don&#8217;t want to sound to negative so I&#8217;ll keep it short: Others are not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-43 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:48%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-46\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><b>ET: What are your main music related influences? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SS: <\/b>There are too many to name them all and they are constantly changing. The most important ones that have accompanied me over the years are \u2013 though not always audible in my own music \u2013 renaissance vocal and baroque lute music, middle eastern and asian music but also more obvious genres like free improvisation, noise, electroacoustic and contemporary music.<\/p>\n<p><b>ET: Best loved hardware vs. Best loved software? <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SS: <\/b>For many years I only used software or acoustic instruments in combination with computerbased effects to create my music. Only last year I developed a small addiction to hardware synths, noise boxes and effect pedals. It&#8217;s just more tactile than to work with the mouse or programming midi controllers and as the focus of my music has been shifting from composition to improvisation during the years, hardware fits better to my workflow and I also like the restrictions that often come with it. I try to combine the best of the two worlds, because sometimes there are things you can not achieve with hardware \u2013 and it&#8217;s also cheaper as there are a lot of great freeware VSTs.<\/p>\n<p><b>ET: Btw, what does \u00abSubkreska\u0135aro\u00bb mean?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SS: <\/b>The name of the album and all the track titles are in Esperanto. (Subkreska\u0135aro means &#8218;brushwood&#8216;.) After reading the book \u00abDie Bienen und das Unsichtbare\u00bb by C.J. Setz about constructed languages and their history I became fascinated with the idea behind it. If I only had the time I would learn it, just for fun. But I don&#8217;t think that will happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>ET: Thank you, Stefan.

The electronic tracks that formed the basis for 4a, 4b, 4c and 6 originally appeared on Ken\u2019s Electronic Mutations album, while the remainder were composed and recorded in February, 2021 for this project.

Stark contrast to the warmth and depth of acoustic contrabass. Which complements and presents counterpoint to the electronics through various methods. Rumbling vibrato for hashy crackle. Winding arcs bowed for buzzing bee paths. Staccato for stippling beeps. Something like the theme of Psycho for sirens. Hoarse nervous sawing and cascading pizzicato for electric sputtering. Matching texture, movement, relative register, speed, space to make this couple less odd. In a way it replicates the response required from acoustic musicians to early electronics and in doing so revisits the fundamentals of adaptive communication. Demonstrated vividly through three iterations of response to one electronic track, moving from melody bowed over it, to mixing in arco rhythmic repetitions eddying like electronics loops, to a plucked scalular lyricism with rhythmic eddies that synchronize with the bubbling electric beat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Keith Prosk<\/p>\n<p>Harmonic Series 1\/16, May 2022<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/harmonicseries.substack.com\/p\/116?s=r\"><em>Read more here&#8230;<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-24 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: left top;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:20px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-49 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-50 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-54\"><h2 class=\"title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Meeting the artist.

I like the idea of taking an essentially 17th or 18th century instrument and letting it stand against a new technology, and then hearing the basic timbral contrasts that result&#8211;the synthetic sounds of the electronic backdrop against the acoustic instrument\u2019s more organic sounds. I\u2019ve done a number of collaborations with electronics before, usually live, where my sound is fed into a computer and manipulated in real time, or in the studio, where my sound is processed after the fact. This time I wanted to work with a fixed backdrop, to interpret it and adapt to it on its own terms, in a sense. In this regard I was especially inspired by Luc Ferrari\u2019s Etudes d\u2019improvisation, which uses a set of prerecorded electronic tracks to provide certain constraints for the performers who improvise with them\u2014constraints of tonality, rhythm, texture, and what-have-you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>ET:\u00a0What was your instrumental approach for the album?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DB:<\/strong> It was actually pretty simple\u2014just electronics on the one hand, and acoustic double bass on the other. The idea was to take a set of prerecorded electronic tracks and then (mostly) improvise to them. But of course now that meant somehow coming up with the electronic tracks! I didn\u2019t want to do them myself, partly because I\u2019m just not that conversant with working with electronics, and partly because I wanted the electronics to provide the stimulation of someone else\u2019s musical sensibility. My friend Ken Moore, with whom I\u2019ve collaborated on double bass and synthesizer duets, had an album of electronic music that I liked. A few of the pieces on it had the kind of sound I was looking for, so with his permission I took them and improvised appropriate responses. It was all done in my home studio, with the tracks playing through headphones while I recorded with my usual mic setup. Because I didn\u2019t have enough for an album\u2014and it was beginning to dawn on me that maybe I should go ahead and do an album\u2014I asked Ken to put together several more tracks. Choosing which tracks to improvise to involved having to make decisions about what kind of feel I wanted the piece to have, how dense a background I could comfortably work with, whether or not I wanted it to have a regular rhythm\u2014that kind of thing. The electronic parts were done with the Moog Sub Phatty analogue synth; the double bass is purely acoustic. On one or two pieces I prepared the bass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-53 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:48%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-57\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>ET:\u00a0What are you going to do next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DB:<\/strong> That\u2019s a good question&#8211;I really don\u2019t know! I don\u2019t have any albums planned at the moment, but I\u2019m working on a new graphic score in the Modular series and have been providing some advice to a composer revising a graphic piece for solo double bass. I also recently finished interpreting another graphic score written for me by a different composer. And, I\u2019ll have the pleasure of having a track on an upcoming Endtitles release of different versions of composer Didier Gigue\u2019s Quartre fois.

It demands a lot from those of us who play it, but when it\u2019s feeling cooperative there\u2019s no better collaborator. The second question I\u2019m going to have to answer metaphorically, I\u2019m afraid. The best loved software is the idea or the affect animating the sound\u2014whether it\u2019s an interesting concept for a composition or technique, or just that strange, complex web of judgment, feeling, sense, and possibility that comes into play whenever we pick up the instrument and make music with it. It\u2019s the irreducibly human factor in music. Not exactly a ghost in the machine, since it sometimes seems to follow an unpredictable, impish logic of its own, but maybe more like a poltergeist. A mostly benign poltergeist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>ET: Thank you, Daniel.

But at the same time, I became more and more fascinated with experimental sound design. I wanted to compose sounds and pieces that are more influenced by musique concr\u00e8te, acousmatic or electroacoustic music that sometimes follow different rules in their compositional structure. Here the sounds, their design and processing are a very essential part of the actual composition.

In addition some of my synthesizers that represent more classical forms of synthesis (FM, physical modeling, granular synthesis), there are also several signal-processing tools that can freeze sounds and thus capture and further process what are actually fleeting snapshots. The use of various reverbs is also part of my instrumental approach. Virtual constructions and designs of rooms could also serve as instruments for me here, so to speak.

After starting there as a freelance lecturer, I am now a full-time professor and work as a the programme director for a study programme called &#8218;Audio Design&#8216;. I am very fortunate that after a working as a jazz saxophonist for many years, I was able to turn my passion into a career for a second time. I teach both &#8222;classical&#8220; music subjects like music theory and ear training but also give classes in sound design, synthesis and composition. On the one hand, this involves the realization of students&#8216; individual projects, but also the creation of commissioned works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ET:\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">What are your main music related influences?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TE:\u00a0<\/strong>The influences are indeed very diverse. As I mentioned, I worked as a jazz musician for a long time, and during this time I was of course extensively involved with this music. When I took my first steps with electronic music in the early 2000s, I was mainly influenced by artists who produced in the &#8218;clicks and cuts&#8216; aesthetic that was very popular at the time. Many releases of the label Mille Plateaux, on which I was also able to release my debut album, inspired me a lot at that time. Frank Bretschneider, Andreas Tilliander and above all Jan Jelinek should be mentioned here. I&#8217;m also a real fan of more &#8218;ambient&#8216;-related artists like Tim Hecker and William Basinski. But I&#8217;ve also had periods where psychedelic rock music or obscure releases from the 60s and 70s have influenced me a lot. I also like to listen to classical music from the 20th century. I admire composers like Dmitri Shostakovich, Paul Hindemith but also Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti very much. If I had to name direct influences to the album \u00abSFAIRA\u00bb, I would definitely name Bernard Parmegiani &#8211; in my opinion one of the most important composers of electroacoustic music. However, I am also very interested in the works of contemporary electronic music composers such as Kassel Jaeger, Marja Ahti or Lionel Marchetti.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>ET:\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">Best loved hardware vs. Best loved software?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TE:<\/strong> In fact, I have been using almost no hardware to create sounds and produce for several years now. I program most of the instruments and effects myself. Occasionally I am tempted to buy some new software which appears attractive to me, whose concept I then rather try to build myself according to my personal wishes. I now also work with generative systems that can support composition processes, so the design of the tools plays an increasingly important role in the actual composition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>ET: Thank you, WERKEN.
