Alpenreisen by the volume settings folder

this is a collection of works I started recording back in March 2024, a weekly ritual of mine, mostly on Sundays, sometimes casual but other times a bit more considered. usually the thought-out pieces make the cut.
there's a nice story to the artwork.
the cover shot and the pictures in the booklet of the double CDr release have been taken over 20 years apart - oddly enough always by me. the cover was taken in 1999, when I was in 7th grade, at the beginning of a day off with my family where they tricked me - as per usual - to walk paths too steep and distances too long for my taste, in the parking area leading to Cima d'Asta, Trentino, northern Italy. this was one of two shots taken to let the film - yes, I'm that old - roll-in properly, and the light burn captured here always fascinated me. the other pics are polaroids I took last June 2024, throughout Val di Fassa, always Trentino, northern Italy. I'm still trying to figure out how to take good polaroids. like the music making journey, it's a long one.

since 2011, an ambient / drone / post-rock music project developed by M. Beckmann. sketch and improv attitude to get sudden ambience.
