Polaroid Notes

'Words End' is the result of a spontaneous rehearsal session that led to five minimalistic, sparsely orchestrated piano tracks which unfold without haste and slowly circle around the listener. Everything is based on improvisation and has been reduced to the original concept behind Polaroid Notes: just hit the keys and see what happens. Tracklist: 1. The Colours Of Spring / 2. For Several Nights An...

Edition DWI is a new series of recordings from the netlabel Drone Works International. The releases focus on specific themes related to nature and its secrets, its constant change, destruction and renewal.

Euan from Glacis and I have been friends for some time and appreciated each other’s music for much longer. We got in touch through Whitelabrecs at the time ‘Cloud Anthems’ was released. Since then, we have stayed in touch and chat from time to time about music, our projects, everyday life and family. In autumn 2022, we decided to start a collaboration and to exchange ideas and sounds fragments via...

"Inner Harmonies" can be seen as a declaration of love to the coastal regions of Liguria in northern Italy, to these landscapes and the sea, to the attitude to life and to the numerous quiet places that can still be discovered even in this region often characterised by tourism. The album tries to capture the essence of this landscape and its moods, and plays with the contrasts between the sea and...

Euan from Glacis and I have been friends for a while and we've appreciated each other's music for much longer. So why not do something together? The first official result of our Scottish-Bavarian friendship is this 5-track EP ‘Reflections’, which we recorded over a period of a few months via file sharing. Euan performed the piano parts, I played electric piano and the other sounds. The EP is a for...

Last year in September I released the album ‘Quiet Rooms’ on the British label Whitelabrecs. The tracks on this album were a kind of self-healing process to refocus on home life after a long absence caused by working far away. At that time I was making a lot of improvised music and recording many ideas and sketches. After selecting the tracks for ‘Quiet Rooms’, some ideas, feelings, blurred images...

The EP "A Chance Before A Choice" is a foretaste of the forthcoming new 14 track album "All Our Yesterdays".

Tracklist: 1. A Chance Before A Choice / 2. Despite Gra...

This EP celebrates the hour that is added every year during the changeover from summer to winter time. The electric piano sounds were recorded late at night during this ‘ghost’ hour, with a few overdubs added in the days that followed. The five tracks oscillate between gentle and warm memories of sunny days and the dimmed and moody light of the coming winter. Track list: 1. The Hour That Doesn't E...

"Quiet Rooms" is the fifth release of Polaroid Notes on UK label Whitelabrecs. About the album: "Quiet Rooms" came about during a strange phase of deliberate and involuntary personal changes and attempts to refocus. Moving back home after nearly eight years of working far away and dealing with one of the most annoying things a musician can experience; tinnitus. "Quiet Rooms" was therefore initiall...

Here's a little experiment in between: Two slow and minimalist tracks with prepared piano, cello and soft electric piano sounds and a few dots of natural and electronic atmosphere. A gentle echo of what remains in life. Tracks: 1. I Won't Go Anywhere (Until You Take Me There) 2. It All Comes Down To This Recorded July / August 2024 Written and produced by Polaroid Notes Download @ https://polaroid...

Rusted / 5. A Momentary Lapse Of Peace Recorded im March 2024 Written and produc...

What is a perfect day? Being out in the countryside? Meeting good friends? Doing nothing and daydreaming? Listening to your favourite music? Reading books? Or all at once? Polaroid Notes explores this question with its new album "Soundtrack For A Perfect Day". Cosmic layers of sound that circulate around individual motifs and images, accentuated by deep, warm piano sounds and melodies. Complemente...

Here is the fourth release of Polaroid Notes on UK label Whitelabrecs. In ‘Cloud Anthems’, the music takes influence from the packaging photography, which was taken one sunny January at the Riegsee, a small lake in front of the Bavarian Alps. The entire lake had frozen over due to low temperatures in the weeks before. Later that afternoon fog rolled in and together with the sun, the frozen lake an...

Two Minutes Recorded and mixed January 2022 Download @ https://polaroidnotes.bandcamp.com/alb...

In early 2021, the British label Whitelabrecs released the brilliant compilation "Ennio's Muse" to generate money and interest for the film project "Return to Sea and Sardina" by filmmaker Daniele Marzeddu. At that time I had the pleasure of contributing the track "Down By The Sea". Somehow I stuck with the idea of continuing to deal musically with the theme of the sea, because I like being there:...
