until 2001 i only generated ambient music for myself (first steps since 1997) and for two or three friends of mine. but with the opportunity to play live, which michael of "laborneun" offered to me, i thought it could be possible to play my music for some more people. nerthus is very sound oriented ... that means: it's very important for me to generate and / or modify noises that sound interesting, new, never heard before, euphonic or maybe very cacophonous. the idea behind nerthus is, if i have to name it, just to create an artificial context the listener can put his own perceptions and thoughts in. thats why my music is not very formalistic, to let enough space for own cognitive processes. but that doesn't mean that there is no place for concrete rhythms or melodies in my music! contact nerthus: nerthus@polyphren.de
