about

Inspired by our forest walks around Valencia, Düsseldorf, Krems an der Donau, and Hamburg, Suite Botanique is an ode to some of my favourite trees, flowers, and other natural elements, such as water streams and mushrooms.

The idea to create this EP came to me around the time I was studying Bach’s French Suite No. 5 in G major and constantly listening to Green House’s gorgeous EP Six Songs for Invisible Gardens. I wrote the pieces in my home studio in Valencia, Spain, and recorded them with the support of the lovely Tom Blankenberg in the beginning of 2021 on a gorgeous (sounding and looking) Schimmel upright piano in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Afterwards, it was my friend Jakob Lindhagen who helped materialize my sound design ideas, as well as incorporating some of his own suggestions. Suite Botanique is, in a way, quite different from what I have been releasing so far. It still revolves around the piano but it incorporates various new elements such as musical saw, field recordings, an analogue synthesizer, and quite a bit of reel-to-reel tape processing (and distortion) as well as the classic, gorgeous sound of Roland’s Space Echo.
