Sound Kontrol

Inspired by the TV series HBO Chernobyl and the events of that time. This album is the follow-up to Electron Utopia (2017) and closes the circle on this concept. Vibrating and resonant rhythms of a heaviness to make tremble the eardrums, if not the walls of our living room, ELECTRON HELL carries quite well theContinue readingElectron Hell (2021)

Recorded in one session on a winter evening. Track 4 is the full session without breaks. Tracks 1 – 3 is the same session but broken down into 3 separate works at key stages during the mastering stage. This album came about by accident. I was experimenting with sounds and ideas on a cold winterContinue readingWinter Stone (2021)

This album I wrote a few years ago with the original idea being a soundtrack for a fictional dystopian movie or character. After it was finished I became aware that it is really about the start of an awakening process. We travel through life mostly asleep or not in a truly awakened state. There areContinue readingHope of the Sleeper (2020)

Having spent sometime listening to the many drone and dark ambient style artists released on the Cryo Chamber label I wanted to do something similar but not be completely dark ambient. Hence the core of this album is built on progressive long-form ambient choral style soundscapes that shift between dark and light with touches ofContinue readingCascade Event (2020)

This album hides some real jewels of true Berlin School style which prove that DASK was resolutely one of the beautiful finds of 2017”. So, I listened again to this new INSECTA, Arthropod and Insecta are still so intense, to finally choose this version that better meets the idea of ​​concept behind the vision ofContinue readingInsecta (2019)

“Oneira literally sticks to the visions of its authors and is addressing to fans of experimental ambient music”. This second collaboration between DASK and Thanasis Oikonomopoulos takes us away from the Elemental‘s ambiances with 4 long titles which let freedom to ambient structures which stick to the reality of each title. Structures modulated on theContinue readingOneira (2019)

The troposphere is the lowest of Earths atmosphere layers ranging from as little as 4 to 12 miles high, yet contains 75% of the atmospheres entire mass and supports all life. Almost all weather conditions occur here. The exosphere is the outermost layer. Here the molecules are so far apart this layer does not behaveContinue readingAether (2019)

Ancient philosophy suggested sets of classical elements to explain observations in nature. This concept of elements as a substance has developed through three major phases, classical elements, chemical definitions and finally modern atomic definitions. “Elemental has all it needs to satisfy the appetite of fans of sequencer-based EM, in particular of Tangerine Dream, era Virgin”.Continue readingElemental (2018)

Sol is a a soundtrack for our home star. Sol is a journey from the first light of our star’s birth to its death. The title track represents the star’s exit or death sequence. It really is an album about life and death on a deeper level. “More in an ambient style, Sol always dipsContinue readingSol (2018)

“Second opus From DASK, Messages is a wild sequencer-based style EM album filled by vintage, as contemporary, moods”. MESSAGE has more punch and rhythmic offensive than in Electron Utopia while keeping a dosage of atmosphere elements, which is rather creative at some points, in view of the unexplained mysteries in these messages and of theContinue readingMessages (2017)

Buddhist Pema Chodron says we all are addicted to something and it is part of our human nature in that we all can be restless or discontent and many find it impossible to just sit and be calm. “What we have here the best title of DASK. And there was some very good before thisContinue readingLiquid Decimation (2017)

“This first album of DASK is the perfect one for those who miss the TD’s sequencing patterns  of the 70’s”. The fluid and oscillatory rhythm of Electron Utopia is filled with the charms of the trio Baumann, Franke and Froese. Here, DASK is not so shy to spread effects and fragments of melodies which make veryContinue readingElectron Utopia (2017)

Abiogenesis means the creation of life from non living matter. The transition from non-living to living matter is rarely a single event but a process of increasing complexity. “What can I say about the music of Abiogenesis? It’s DASK, pure DASK with its load of old Berlin School’s sequencing patterns in an evolving ambiospherical décor”.Continue readingAbiogenesis (2017)
