Welcome

12.Apr.13 - New material on the way

Just to make a long overdue news update. Despite the rather quiet time lately, the Incolumis project is still alive and kicking! You can expect a remix to be released during May, and a new single possibly pretty soon after. Details to follow soon!

Thank you for your support, and please bear with me while I'm picking up the pace with the releases a bit and hopefully bringing you new material that you will like.

17.Dec.12 - Black Light Drive - Debut album out!

Today is an exciting day - my debut album Black Light Drive is released on JOOF Recordings! It's a real milestone for me, also because it's the 10th anniversary of the Incolumis project. I want to say thanks to of all of you who decide to check the album out, and to JOOF for a long time of support.

You can find clips from the album (Strange Optics, Reptiles, Silk) on my SoundCloud page.

I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming holidays and all the best for your 2013!

6.Aug.12 - Björk remix contest entry complete

Entered another remix contest on Beatport Play, this time remixing Björk's Mutual Core from her latest album Biophilia. For a long time I have been fascinated by Björk's bold, experimental music and colorful personality, so it was very fun to take this chance to do this remix.

You can find my remix here.

27.Jul.12 - Album clips available

Here is a few clips from my upcoming debut album Black Light Drive.

2.May.12 - Orbital remix contest entry complete

Beatport Play announced a remix contest where participants make a remix for electronica veteran duo Orbital's new track, Wonky, featuring Lady Leshurr. Check out the awesomely eccentric original mix at Youtube! You can find my entry here. It was a fun track to work on - I hope you will enjoy it!

22.Apr.12 - Debut album in progress

My debut Incolumis album is getting closer to completion. Started in January, there is now new material for a total of about 50 minutes. All of the tracks still need adjustments, but I'm happy about how the album is turning out. Title and release date still undecided/unknown.

22.Apr.12 - On SoundCloud: Compilation of old clips and beats

As is the case with any musician, a lot of unfinished work gets left behind, and it might often be a small fracture of the overall music that actually gets finished and out there. I browsed through my hard drive and made a little compilation of my old stuff just for the fun of it. They are either clips of full length tracks, or just something I was messing with. Most of them were never finished.

There are more clips like this, but most of them are project files only, and some of the oldest ones don't play properly because of missing source samples. I might dive in sometime and see how much more can be "salvaged".

9.Jul.11 - New track available for listen

9.Jul.11 - Sasha remix contest entry finished

My remix for Sasha's Cut Me Down is complete, check it out at Burn Studios!

26.Jun.11 - Remix and new tracks in progress

Sorry for a lenghty pause in updates, it has been a pretty quiet time with music stuff lately.

Burn Studios has recently announced a remix competition for Sasha's new track Cut Me Down with an exceptional opportunity for top remixers. I am going to give it a try and see how it goes. Also, I have started working on other new tracks a few days ago, and will be presenting them as an EP or even an album, depending on how the project carries on.

3.Mar.11 - Changes EP released

My new EP is out on JOOF Recordings! I hope you will like the new tracks.

24.Feb.11 - EP clips online

Preview clips of the upcoming EP now available for listen at my Myspace page.

16.Dec.10 - Next EP out early 2011

My next EP will be released by JOOF at some point in early 2011. It will include "Tecabrali" - an original mix and another version called "calibrated mix", which is already featured on John '00' Fleming's mixes and also Armin van Buuren's radio show "A State of Sundays" (although my project name is unfortunately mistyped there). Stay tuned!

27.Nov.10 - Tecabrali featured on Armin van Buuren's mix!

One of the new tracks from my upcoming EP, Tecabrali (Incolumis Calibrated Mix) is picked up by Armin van Buuren and is featured on his radio show A State of Sundays 011! I'm very happy to have a track on another ASOT show, and hope that everyone will enjoy the track.

3.Nov.10 - EP update

The release of my new EP is confirmed and not too far away anymore! Despite what I wrote about finished tracks on September, during this time I have still made some final adjustments for the four upcoming tracks.

It is often hard to determine when a new track is ready, as in 100% complete. For me, there's an endless need to tweak this and finetune that, and often I just have to draw a line somewhere to get a track finished, while trying to get it sound as much as how I intended as possible. Frankly, there are very few tracks of mine, that I haven't been wanting to go back and work on some more after some weeks or months of post-listening, but I'm sure this is a familiar feeling for a lot of producers. However, now I feel like these new EP tracks are finally ready to go.

I hope to be able to present you the new tracks very soon!

14.Sep.10 - Upcoming music, update on website

After the recent EP, I went back to a few incomplete tracks that have been laying around on my hard drive for a couple of months, finally figured out how I want them to sound, so I got them finished. Also finished one, completely new track. I have made these into another EP of four tracks, for which I'm currently waiting for a label response. This EP's style is probably a bit more straight-forward and energetic than Heavy Machinery. I'm happy about how it turned out and am truly looking forward to showing it to you! Details will follow later.

Also, on the discography page, I've now added a Beatport Player and a Juno Player for track preview purposes. I'm still thinking about the placement, but at least for now they can be found there.

12.Sep.10 - Website facelift

Yet another visual change to the website, which now uses the same kind of layout than my other website Hidden / Silent.

7.Sep.10 - Heavy Machinery EP released

Heavy Machinery EP is out! I'm excited and thankful about the warm welcome at JOOF Recordings again. The tracks in the EP are quite a bit different than in my previous release. I do hope that you enjoy it and that the EP didn't stray too far away from possible expectations. I like to try different things inside a certain scope of sound - it's always a challenge to keep a balance between the old and the new, but it keeps things more fresh whenever it works out.

Also, I'm already working on a few new post-EP tracks with a bit more consistent clubby tech sound, and they are progressing pretty nicely so far. Whether I will wrap those tracks up into another EP or present them as individual tracks, I haven't decided yet. Will see how they turn out and when they will be finished. One thing is for sure, though - there won't be another 5 years until the new stuff :-)

1.Sep.10 - Back with new material

After about 5 years of pause (miscellaneous remixes excluded), I'm returning with a new 4-track release, "Heavy Machinery EP", that will be released by JOOF Recordings on September. Stay tuned!
