“… the material that was given to me was already layered with digital effects. From one little clean piano piece I made the first track. Those simple piano chords I combined with a clear rhythm constellation. … somehow Ryuichi was very surprised and really liked my work. Weeks later he sent me another specially for this project recorded track.”
This was the beginning of an almost two year process of music exchange and creation. "Vrioon" is very relaxing, it opens rooms, landscapes blur before listeners eyes. Static rhythmic pieces circle round and vary one and the same theme that, with its impressionistic sphere, reminds of soundtracks and ambient compositions.
In this co-operation two different generations meet and share the idea of electronic music as an inspiration source for new musical structures.
