MORITZ VON OSWALD - SILENCIO
Short Music Documentary, 2023, 6.16 min

This short documentary accompanies Moritz von Oswald on the journey to his album Silencio and searches for an answer to the question if synthesizers can sing. The compositions were written in Moritz von Oswald’s Berlin studio on classic synthesizers, such as the EMS VCS3 and the Moog Model 15. These abstract recordings were transcribed to sheet music for choir by Berlin-based Finnish composer and pianist, Jarkko Riihimäki and performed by Vocalconsort Berlin in Ölberg church in the city’s Kreuzberg district. The recordings of the choral versions were then incorporated into the synthesized parts of the album and brought into anew electronic context; in Silencio, the focus is not on using one means to imitate the other, but to sonically discuss the tensions and harmonies between the two worlds and create a dialogue between them.

TANGERINE DREAM - RAUM
Music Video, 2021, 7.24 min

The music video to 'Raum' was shot on a Canon Super-8 camera during late 2020 and early 2021. It portrays the band’s creation process at their Berlin studio space and the surrounding neighborhood of Neukölln. The choice of shooting on film was also an homage to Edgar Froese’s Super-8 videos, filmed while being on tour or in the studio with Tangerine Dream.

HAINBACH - HOME STORIES
Music Video, 2021, 5.34 min

The visual for “Home Stories” is an investigation on energy transition and the nuclear phase-out. Along the way, the video portrays a landscape shaped by energy and environmental policies, forestry, agriculture and mining. It summons tales of land consolidation, wind farms, transmission towers and pointed roof houses with photovoltaic panels. Weekend train rides to thermal power plants with a lake view. The filmmakers Felix & Julian Moser followed retired workers on a tour through their former rock salt mine, which has turned into an interim storage for radioactive waste. Their trip ends in the core of a nuclear reactor, which was finished in 1990 but never went online due to the turmoil at the end of the Cold War.

HAINBACH - LIGHT SPLITTING
Music Film, 2020, 43min

The visual album to “Light Splitting”, recorded on MiniDV camera and played back at half speed, analyzes unprocessed low resolution images. Macro observations mimicking early space probes and telescope photographs. On a universal scale, image quality can only be a depiction of the current technological advance and therefore the true value lies in the newly found information these images present. As a consequence of isolation this work is a retreat into a microverse. Working with a combination of glass, water and the morning sun, the video embraces the fragile beauty of light and offers a psychedelic journey through Hainbach’s album.
