Topic: Mood at the beginning of the lockdown

Waiting for the daily press conferences with the latest figures and regulations.
Feelings of standing still, paralysis, dependence, isolation, insecurity and also relaxation.
The idea was to record something with live instruments, immediately, not reflecting too much and not using a theoretical approach.
And in parallel to the sound experiments, I tried for the first time to convert Chinese cabbage into a Korean kimchi, using fermentation. This process suited the situation of waiting in the lockdown very well.

Bit-Tuner has collaborated with various artists like !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Audio88 & Yassin (Berlin), IOKOI (-OUS), Bleubird (Florida), Sensational (NYC) or Islam Chipsy (100Copies Music) as well as done remixes for Oddateee (Deadverse Rec.), Sole (Ex-Anticon), Filewile, Tim & Puma Mimi, Kamikaze (Mouthwatering Rec.), Jeans for Jesus, Velvet Two Stripes, Camilla Sparksss…
