Spectrum by Orphax
Spectrum is a continuation of my interest in the perception of time, and at the same time an acknowledgement of me being on the autism spectrum.
I got diagnosed with this about 2 1/2 years ago, which was quite the shock for me at that moment. But in the past 2 1/2 years I have learned so much about this.
This album, with my interest in minimalism, opposed to bombastic music, is a form to embrace my autism and to accept it as it is. I didn't change as a person, but I do know myself better.
The music was recorded live at various venues and home and edited and mixed into these two pieces between September 2019 and August 2020.
Initially, this album was intended to be released through the amazing Russian label Stellage. It got delayed multiple times over the past 1 1/2 year, so it didn't happen.
After the war in Urkaine started, I talked about the release with Viktor from Stellage. And the result is that I now release this album myself as a limited edition in hand made artwork.
I want to thank Viktor for the trust and belief in my music.

Orphax is a musical project with the focus on minimal ambient and drone music.
In the music there is a development towards microtonal sounds, where time and spatiality are important factors.
In this form of working the eventual result can be a static form of sound where development in the music becomes subordinate to the listener losing any sense of time.
