Reconnecting (2024, 38min)
The phrase “It won’t be like this forever” has been the main inspiration behind this album. Things are continuously changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But then consciousness also stays here unbroken. It’s about taking your time, processing time, but also seeing the moment.

On the 01.05.2009, Shamus Young uploaded a video about making a procedurally generated city inside OpenGL (search up: “Pixel City” if you’re interested). It sparked Jakob’s curiosity for technology, 3D graphics, computers, video games, architecture, cities, and also music.
With his first full-length album, he wanted to recreate the feeling of being thrilled by these things for the first time. Virtual Places is about curiosity and the exploration of new territory with a pinch of mystery.
Published on november 8th and made from april to october 2019. During the making of GLEIM, Jakob moved out of his homeplace into the city (Gleim Straße being the name of the new street he was moving to). A trip to Japan during this period has also been very inspirational and shaped the sound of this record.
Mas Bokus EP started out as a compilation of tracks made from 2017-2018 and kickstarted the project “Mas Bokus”. It was made alongside a detailed storyboard, that went through ups and downs, different locations and emotions. It was the transition from sporadic singles to one coherent listening experience.
