Gone Love

Single DE 2017 on Outtakes label
Electronic (Downtempo)

Release Notes: Cords OUTTAKES series starts at the lowest level. horizontal business. I got lost in a stoner loop long time ago, when I recorded some piano through guitar effect pedals, and flipping samples in the NI Maschine. I knew it would become more or less this piece, but it took me a light year to finish it off. I did work on it often as the last thing of the day to calm down after producing Robosonic house & techno. I would become tired immediately and leave the track alone after just a few minutes zoning - or maybe recording a take playing my Mom's accordeon or so, adding a subtle layer...I thought it was a good sign that it made me tired and lazy and I didn't want to lose that approach by overproducing or overthinking. But I knew I wanted to have this either as the first or last track in the SLEEP OUT mixtape (www.sleep.outtakes.co), so I had to put elements in order at some point. Years ago I made a mixtape called "Heart Ship Home" and produced the opener 'Heartships' myself, which was dedicated to my beloved girlfriend. Over the many years we spent together the term 'Go Love' became a symbol for giving each other space and individual freedom based on deepest trust, to go abroad, travel, to worship life and love to the max without losing the feeling of a safe home and being rooted. Last year - really just when the track was finally arranged and produced and hence, also when SLEEP OUT was finished with its last missing ingredient - this tune & title became a symbol for that whole story, as my love had suddenly gone. Spending most of her time in a whole different place and space, allowing too much of a contradiction, and love to tear us apart. Aua. So I had compiled the most cosy selection of music to rock myself to sleep - which was the initial idea: a tool for whenever i have to rest between club gigs, airports, hotels, trains - but I became awfully insomniac over the situation. I felt I had to wait with this release (relief!) until I had recaptured my ability to rest in peace. Meditation, rational reflection and an incredible amount of appreciation and love by my realest allies was key. You know who you are, dream on.
