Drawing from Pauline Oliveros' profound practice of deep listening, Mich L.'s "air near silence" sharpens your ears to the subtlest whispers of sound and its delicate nuances.

about the record

Truly intrigued as a kid by the weird sounds his DIY electronica building kit could make, Mich L. never stopped his quest for finding beauty in hidden frequencies and harmonics of modular synths and old tape recorders.

His search into the deep mysterious sound spectrum unexpectedly made a surprising u-turn after a seizure of increasing tinnitus and enduring nausea. The concept of listening, as stated by Pauline Oliveros as 'the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening' took focus in his being. These new insights, together with a studio rearrangement and the purchase of the EMS Synthi A, are the keystones which shaped the contours of his debut solo album 'air near silence.'

A precious, fragile and ultra personal sonic exploration of the inner self translated in carefully constructed synth and tape compositions: a microscopic auditive dissection of time and soul. Slow burning stripped down shifting patterns, patched and wired straight from the heart, crawling steadily under your skin, with no plans to leave. Hushed analogue splendor for patient music lovers who dare to be surprised.
