Welcome, I’m Martin
I am a self-taught experimental electronic musician, sound, and video artist.
I’m in love with sound acoustically, electronically, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Sound has the incredible capacity to take control over our inner landscape, especially when we allow it. When arranged into music, sound is a universal language with an immense capacity to convey deeply personal experiences without the need of words or explicit symbols — one only needs to listen.
I wanted to learn how to create music, but in the process I discovered that I have actually taught myself how to touch sound. Because I did not have any musical training — I arrived at music production through learning technicalities and embracing experimentation.
I’m often blown away by the subtle physical dances between light and form. Natural patterns arising from simple interactions.
A beam of sunlight passing through a stained glass casts delicate shades on the wall. If the room is dark, that beam of light becomes outlined with the illuminated particles of dust. Wax melting from a candle forms a landscape, becomes a sculpture telling a story of time passed.
Add a little bit of water, a glass enclosure and a heating lamp — this same wax is now transformed into something else — delightful dancing spheres. In my visual art I try to capture or imitate these interactions using a mixture of analogue and digital instruments.
Colours, shades, traces of time, small movements repeated across lengthy periods, layers of tiny elements coming together to form a tapestry, natural sonic rhythms of everyday life. Vibrational nature of the universe we inhabit, unseen links that transcend time, the immediacy of the present moment, the many wonderful paradoxes of the human condition.
A response in the body, the feel of the room, the energetic presence of people, amplification of the minúte, uncontrollable stir of emotions, the unshakable ecstatic joy radiating in loving waves across our bodies when we remember who we are, if even for a moment.
