I was thinking about spontaneity in music, the excitement of the moment. This is something I am very aware about and value a lot. The last few years, I became drawn to a more predetermined kind of music making. An architectural view on the process. Thinking about electronic tools and practices such as sequencers, sampling, sound synthesis and the possibilities that come from spending a lot of time with the material, turning it over and over. So I wanted to combine these two worlds. I invited musicians, old and new friends, to individual creative hang sessions. Most of the tracks came to be in a very organic way. Next to this, there were lots of loose ends and tiny weird ideas. I cut these bits up and messed around with them. Combining sounds, looking for something fresh that matches the aesthetics of these underground construction site reverberations. It was a trip. I hope the person who hears this music gets as much joy, wonder and easeful contemplation out of it as I did, creating an album that was actually creating itself. WM
