Back to my roots

Atem der Maschine is a sonic journey inspired by the early Berlin School tradition, evolving sequencer lines, drifting analog pads, and deep atmospheric pulses reminiscent of Klaus Schulze’s pioneering era.

A tribute to the machines that breathe, resonate, and shape their own inner cosmos.

The vocoded vocal layer that sits behind the main vocal in the intro is really nice. Overall great sound…very enjoyable listen. Love the slower lead line at 2:47.

Beautiful intro. Loved it when the arps kicked it. The slow down at 2:30 or so is really nice. Really well done.

You should collaborate with Thorsten Quaeschning

I’ve never been the biggest Klaus Schulze fan, but this felt more engaging than Edgar Froese’s output. It’s got that classic Berlin School vibe for sure.
