HWJ Fest 2024 "The Fever Dream" - helixrider / 20 minutes live-performance w. Syntakt and Digitakt
"The Fever Dream" Have you ever experienced a fever dream-ish state? Had that lately, unfortunately, due to a Covid infection. It all starts with some shallow dreamy sequence. All good and quite lush, but even when asleep, you realize, that it is different - never ending, goal-less, repeating itself. And some small tiny elements make you feel uncomfortable. Then when you try harder and harder to break out of that loop, reality starts to distort. And the loop remains. Meandering around small, disturbing fragments, ever-repeating pictures, sequences and emotions, it is driving you into a claustrophobic state where paranoia is kicking in. Later, with the fever lowering and with great relief, you are able to reach the initial lush state, again.
And get awake with a sweat covered shirt.
I put this experience into music with this session; if you want to experience it by yourself, follow me, get into a chilled state with some lush lofi house vibe and let yourself fall into an excursion into noise and back. 🤪
Such an honour to be part of this year's Hardware Jams Fest, again! 🤩
