I wrote these songs in 2004 and completely forgot about them, when I got my first DAW. Now I turned these gems into full production. An album full of dream house and dream dance nostalgia from the 1990s. I found a floppy disc with a full album I could not believe my eyes and ears, when I found a floppy disk with an album full of songs from 2004. It has been a bit of an adventure to borrow a floppy disk drive and load all these projects into my music software. 9 of 12 MIDI files were fully arranged songs that only lacked of proper instrumentation and production. The other songs were loops that went nowhere, but this is fine for me. If you ever wondered how it all started – here is a screenshot from Anvil Studio, a free MIDI software, similar to the one I used to create music. My Facebook community encouraged me to give my fully disk album a second chance and fully produce them, though I told myself to step away from electronic dance music as I do not identify with it for many years already. Producing these songs were a tough journey through my early teenage years, where I listened to dream house and trance music all day. These melodies are simple and catchy, and far away from the complex and dark music I write today. It has been worth the ride, because my discography feels complete. Also, I am very happy with the result. The meaning behind the cover and title At first, I considered the original floppy disk to be the cover of the album, but I did not enjoy the association with 8bit music. So I decided to take a shoot from the airport, where my musical journey started. The title “Nightflight” is a nod to one of my favourite songs that I listened on my first flight, and that inspired me to start with music. Can you guess the song? My floppy disc album Nightflight is available now “Nightflight” is now available on all streaming platforms. YouTube will join later. I highly encourage you to support the album on Bandcamp, because that’s where indie artists receive 85% of the revenue and not some lousy 0.003 cents per listen. Tomorrow night, I will host a Bandcamp listening party. Hope to see you there!

Kate Stanton and I release our song “Deep Heart”, as its message is important in times of stress and chaos. We hope that this song will soothe you and help to find your inner peace. “Deep Heart” is a song about healing your heart space. This music conveys the need to stay rooted. To feel and heal. Taking a moment to breathe into the present moment and breathe out unforgiveness. Making the space to forgive, to heal, to grow. Kate Stanton co-wrote the song and lend her beautiful voice and lyrics. She couldn’t think of a better instrument to convey that resilience than the Armenian duduk, so Sean Pádraig recorded a real one for us. Diving into downtempo and trip-hop really helped me to come into a meditative state. Thank you for giving me the chance to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. As usual, you can listen to our song on YouTube and SoundCloud. Please take a deep look into my YouTube channel these days. I am uploading plenty of great previous unreleased and brand-new remixes for those who like electronic music of all kind. And I promise that there will be even more fresh music this year!
