This album is a collection of 4 tracks that I made between 2015 and 2022. I worked on Refraktor from October 2015 until January 2016 as a tribute to Edgar Froese, who passed away at the beginning of that year.
All of these tracks owe a great debt to Tangerine Dream, whose albums were a big part of my life from 1975 to 1984, particularly the classic Froese, Franke and Baumann lineup, whose music provided intoxicating new worlds for exploration, and whose influence would fuel me much later in life.
Refactor was written and recorded between February and April 2021.
Celadon was written between November 2021 and March 2022.
Abstractor was written and recorded between August and September 2022.
Final mixing and mastering took place between May 2022 and February 2023
Genre: electronica, Berlin School, ambient

Prog-Rock formed a significant part of my musical upbringing, although this collection of my creations may confuse the casual listener, and I suspect, the experienced listener equally. I note that the proportion of my ambient releases relative to my other works is slowly increasing.
