What does >>>Soundsurface))) stand for?

Soundsurface is a combination of the words sound and surface. The ">>>" stands for electricity and the")))" for sound.

That is why you can read and understand >>>Soundsurface))) as follows:
With ">>>" electricity Soundsurface is able to create ")))" sound. I´ve chosen this name because my aim is always to create self-made sounds for my productions. I don´t care about ongoing musical styles and how things should sound like. If I like it, you hopefully like it too. I always give my sounds the necessary digital oxygen and especiallay the time so that they can breathe and develop within the track. I´m not a fan of overly large sound libraries with tons of pre-made samples and patches. To me, producing music means to keep full control of the sound. I start every track from scratch and want to avoid getting into a circle of repeats when I produce music.

Most bands have a very distinct recognition value. At first, this is nice because if you listen to the radio and a new single of "Band X" sounds from your loudspeakers you can recognize "Band X" right away. But is this the ultimate goal? Wouldn´t it be more interesting to bypass the pabulum? Couldn´t it be nicer to have no recognition value and surprise the listeners with every track? I think that would be nicer - especially these times today. Having a recognition value could give listeners the feeling that tracks of "Band X" always follow the same loop and that they are not developing enough for them. All tracks sound similar and not novel. This aspect could be boring in the length of time for people who enjoy music very mindfully - like me. Apparently, no recognition value could mean a higher risk of disappointment for your tracks, if some listeners liked the character of a specific track before and thought this pattern would continue in further tracks. To sum it up, it is safe to say that having a recognition value is still the business card of a band today. It is also safe to say that having no recognition value is a business card these days too, because you can stick out of the mass and abscond the pabulum. I think it is important to have a route. My route is to have no recognition value - if possible. This is part of my mindset for creating timeless and novel music.

Honestly it took some years to find out which musical styles are the right ones for creating interesting music. I´m not a friend of stereotyped thinking related to musical styles, but I think for my first release "Who Wants To Feel Has To Listen" the term "Electronic Ambient" fits perfectly. This description for my music is good because this musical style combines a lot of things I like, for example: pad sounds, unusual beats, experimental sounds and so on. "Electronic Ambient" also gave me the maximum of possibilities to live out my creativity because just everything is allowed.

You should know that Soundsurface is not only a project, but also a way for me to let people enjoy music more mindful and defining their musical awareness in a complete new way.
