INFO


Truly intrig ued as a kid by the weird sounds his DIY electronica building kit could make, Mi ch L. (aka Mich Leemans of Paper Hats and curator of AB Salon) never stopped his quest for more beauty in hidden frequencies and harmonics of modular synths and old tape recorders.

His search into the deep mysterious sound spectr um unexpectedly made a surprising u-turn after a seizure of increasing tinnitus and enduring nausea.

The concept of listening, as stated by Pauline O liveiros as 'the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective natu re of listening' took focus in his being.

These new insights, togethe r with a studio rearrangement and the purchase of the EMS Synthi A are the keyst ones which shaped the contours of his debut solo album 'air near silence'
< br />A precious, fragile and ultra personal sonic exploration of the inner self translated in carefully constructed synth and tape compositions : a microscopic auditive dissection of time and soul.

Slow burning stripped down shif ting patterns, patched and wired straight from the heart, crawling steadily unde r your skin, with no plans to leave.

Hushed analogue splendor for pat ient music lovers who dare to be surprised.
