about

DRIFTING CLOUDS – When the Music Passes By
When we observe the sky, we notice that clouds are subject to continuous change. A cloud forms when certain complex physical and feedback processes favor it and dissipates when the disintegrative processes prevail. In between, it constantly transforms, always in motion, becoming distorted, condensed, shaped, and reshaped. And perhaps we wonder: What was there before? Where were the clouds when the sky was steel blue? What remains afterward? Where do they go when they dissipate?

DRIFTING CLOUDS emerged when the complex conditions were favorable for a drifting cloud to form in the steel blue sky. Mich Gerber recorded the music in a single take at Greencube Studio with Björn Meyer, allowing us to share in his own cloud formation, transformation, and dissolution.

DRIFTING CLOUDS invites us to focus on the fleeting, the passing, the changing. We immerse ourselves in a musical current, surrendering to its pull, knowing that this music must come from somewhere and move toward somewhere. Without pause or interruption, in the beauty of transience, for about an hour. We sense that the music was already there before we began to hear it. Like the cloud, whose prerequisites were present before it formed and became visible in the sky. And we are certain that the music remains, even as it fades away, when it dissipates and dissolves.
