HARZ is our microsampling wizard at Empty Space. He explores sound with vintage samplers, warm tape delays, and intricate rhythms. It’s been a pleasure mastering his albums.

go to albumSchall/Formen is all about the interaction of acoustic sounds and their electronic sound manipulation. The whole thing is rounded off with a lot of groove, a few occasional clicks and looping cuts!

This album is so lovely, it really has the best aspects of ambient music - calming, subtle, and works well either as background or as something to intently listen to. The texture in the tracks, especially I is gorgeous, it reminds me of the texture on some of Mum's, "finally we are no one". I love the way the little textured noises fade in and out of what we hear while the ethereal waves in the background shimmer. I love listening to ambient albums on bandcamp and this is one of my favorites!
