about

places is an ongoing long-term project with the aim of exploring the sounds of my immediate surroundings. Centered around my hometown Solothurn, Switzerland, I go on regular field recording trips and record the sounds of a certain place or event.

Once I’m back in the studio, I catalog every sound I recorded on the trip and embark on making a single track based on the location or event I recorded. This may result in an abstract collage of processed sound or an accurate representation of what I heard on location, depending on the source material or the mood I’m currently in.

The primary focus of places is to listen and pay attention to the sounds that surround me, even though they are not the pristine nature sounds that can be found in other parts of the world.

places - vol. 01 is the first collected release of compositions.
