Disillusion of a Machine (LP)    Collection of soundscapes in between Ambient and Drone, recorded from very simple sound sources, often pure sine tones, then shaped through various physical/tactile audio processes such as springs, feedback, faulty circuits, hands.
The sound that comes out of it is aimed to be palpable, almost as an illusion for these machines to be.
Recorded in Funkhaus Berlin, released on all digital platforms + CD production, 27.03.25
