I went to our local openair festival, the Gurtenfestival in Bern, for the first time ever this summer. Even though the weather was rainy at times, it was worth going there for fantastic acts like Peter Fox, Röyksopp, Tricky and Pendulum. While Tricky reminded me how "deep" trip hop music can feel like, Pendulum demonstrated the fusion of drum'n'bass with rock music in a most impressive way . Those performances inspired me to quit the minimal/trance thing I was working on till then (like "Perpetuum" and "That Moment") and to head instead in a new, more idiosyncratic direction, a kind of fusion of trip hop, minimal, d'n'b, techno, electro and downbeat. Tracks that feature electric guitars with a big beatish / d'n'b touch are "Gurtenfestival 09 Reflection" and "Milliways (the restaurant at world's end)". "Omnibeat" is still in the early works and might need some vocals. "The Call" is more of an ancient/mystic ambient track. "Arrival" captures my feeling of finally having arrived in a country far away. "Digital Native" is the closest I got to the fusion of the mentioned styles. "Vanitas" is an impression on impermanence and death.
