about

OMG Shoulders! is a concept album. Each track is a tribute to an artist that inspired me throughout my musical journey. Instead of paying as usual homage to the ones already deceased, this album is dedicated to those guys who are still making music today, elevating music to new modern frontiers. For me, those guys are giants of the modern musical era and so the abum title is short for "on modern giant's shoulders". I'm standing on these shoulders, like everybody is standing on someone's shoulders.

There is nothing that evolves out of a vakuum. The wish to start from anew over and over again, is the wish of someone, whose pride stands in the way of his creativity. The album title spoken out loud as "Oh my God, Shoulders!" represents the mindset of many of todays artists; living in the illusion that their stuff is the new shit, ultimately disregarding their musical roots and overestimating their own work. When the creative mind is narrow, the creation coming from this mind is bound to be narrow as well.

This album is a declaration of my wish to distance myself from this way of thinking. It's not only okay but necessary to accept one's own immaturity and to learn from more advanced and smarter people. It only limits one's own capabilities and development not to do so. It also makes creating more exciting, because there lies a long way to explore ahead of you.

Thank you! This album is a tribute to (in alphabetical order):

Aphex Twin, Arca, Boards of Canada, Ben Lukas Boysen (aka HECQ), Max Cooper, Culprate, Eskamon (Amin Tobin & Eskmo), Jon Hopkins, Lorn, múm, Sigur Rós, Andy Stott, Sun Glitters, Christopher Willits.
