houseofsilver More than excellent. Sounds like being inside the head of a giant cat that’s purring and dreaming of the next mouse it’s gonna eat.

Jascha Narveson Obsessed! This album takes Thomas Köner's cold, glacial atmospheres and brings rhythmic pulsing into the mix. It reminds me a bit of the frayed, burned-out edges of the Basic Channel / Chain Reaction catalog but with an updated sound palette. It's *almost* techno but isn't... Favorite track: Extension (Attack).

Stel What a great album. Very futuristic with amazing depths. Hard to pic a favourite. Substrate (Binaural) and Oscillator (Luminous)..... maybe.

about

“Motus is more (to me) than just music made with analogue synthesizers, it is about attitude, a way of relating to sound and the (e)motion it affects.
A lifestyle, where movement, being moved and moving become one. My practice is vibrational, about the skin, touch and surfaces and the gaseous medium in between.
I dream of a dance floor where Motus would be enjoyed. What kind of world, or rather, what kind of society would allow that? And when? Is this futuristic? A situation-to-come, where the understanding of music expands greatly, when blissful moments are independent of simple melodies, where harmony appears beyond I-V-vi-IV chord progressions, when the techniques of social alienation, which determine the use of all the drugs that accompany recreational music, are reversed into creative tools of exploration. ‘Motus’ is part of this exploration: to find dance, free of clock, and groove, free of rhythm. There is pulsation, and the downbeat connects to the downward beings as in stones and minerals, the upbeat connects to the upward beings as in grasses, flowers, trees and stars. Binding both together, connecting sky and earth, is the dancer. The moves / the movement is pure. It is the kiss of spirit and matter.” (Thomas Köner)
