Already on Peter Zirbs’ previous releases there are numerous, often experimental instrumental compositions. With a new fully instrumental EP "Splinters", Peter Zirbs gives more space to this artistic side and underlines his musical versatility.

For the first single herald “Splinter I” he playfully blends minimal music, piano and synthesizer sounds into electronic and hypnotic miniatures that develop an addictive undertow. Musically, Zirbs again processes his view of current facts and realities to which we are accustomed, and which seem to dissolve into a thousand pieces before our eyes – and can no longer be joined to the original shape.

Peter Zirbs:"The Splinters EP is a small collection of instrumental tracks that were created in the past 12 months. I have taken up topics and feelings that have touched me deeply. The tracks are not so much an examination of the content of these themes, feelings and terms, but rather a method of dealing with my discomfort – so to say a cure, a relief and support.

For the track "Splinter II (Prime Numbers)" for example I experimented with prime numbered time signatures. The effect on the brain is almost something like a desynchronization of the cerebral hemispheres. After the quasi-romantic tracks of the previous releases, I'm trying to break down my boundaries and incorporate more experimentation; translating vague feelings into music."
