This one is 15 years old...
It is one of the first ever pieces i composed.
I recorded this in my living room in the summer of 2008 with a crapy mic and the first generation of Garage band on my Mac Book Pro - at the time living and studying in Salzburg.
Over the years i repeatedly thought of re-recording it in a proper and professional high end way but i kept being drawn back into the lo-fi and at times broken sound-aesthetic of this recording.
There is something uniquely special to the timing, the phrasing, the feeling and the sound that could not and possibly should not be recreated.
I kept looking for a way to share this with the world and finally made this video. A pathway back in time, to connect with what only lives on in memories.
