Drahtwelt is my project started in 2017 and luckily still continuing in 2019. Somewhere between post-rock and trailer music I’m trying to find my way for … let’s call it “post-trailer”.
Past
In the late 80s I started playing guitar in a post punk band and was a home recording enthusiast. At that time we had to survive with two tape decks and an old, cracking mixing console from the 70s.

Epic Stuttering
I’ve tried to support a stuttering guitar with a choir to generate something “epic creepy”: To extend the creepy factor I’ve used the whammy of the solo guitar at some major tones – hope that the whole idea had survived during listening.
March For Enlightenment
Here I’ve changed the theme during this release phase: From destructive to a constructive motivation. I’ve used a more orchestral instrumentation to highlight that the enlightenment was started in 1700. But after 300 years there’s still much room for improvement for the next 300 years.
