Since january 2022 a special version of Practice Mix 5 can be found on a station of the pirate radio script for monome norns and its clones. It's made from recordings from 2021 some of which are outtakes or longer parts of sounds used on my album 👻 from 2021. Practice Mix 5 is so far the newest release of the series.

Practice Mix 4 was first released as the 18th episode of Metamorphosen in 2021. There, Lorenz Liebig described it as an experimental flight simulator in which sounds are interwoven, only to be picked apart again in the next moment in analytical self-observation. So take part in this glider journey through soft clouds and exquisite glitches. No seatbelts required, smoking is permitted.

Practice Mix Vol.3 is a mix of recordings i did in 2019 and has a clearer and less muddy Hip Hop
sound than the first two mixes.
The voices are clearer and less haunted here, the bass goes even deeper and on top there are fake
scratches from a 2000s dj-toy, hectic hi-hats and sloppy sample chops.
Practice Mix Vol.3 was first released as a split tape with PumPuiBeatz on
grvty.2020 from Leipzig. I also did a live-remix
presentation on the WebTV site hitness.club,
which I sadly forgot to record, where I resampled the tape, adding effects and mixtape drops.

About 1 year after Practice Mix Vol. 1 I compiled Vol. 2, and it became a series. The plan stayed
the same: I picked through my recordings of the year before and chose tracks and parts, moments and
experiments I liked.
Pop songs falling apart, something crashing, glitching out. Slowdowns, speed-ups, air horns and an
uncanny computer voice saying my name or nothing at all.

This episode is a recording of a live set my friend Andere played at the last evening of 2a4u. In 4
parts, Andere is taking us on a woozy walk through Lidl, out into the digital dirt and down through
the pipes into a big cellar next to a secret club, where last night's duppy chords are still
dripping from the ceiling. A motorik rhythm picks us up out of these real spaces to carry us into
memories of euphoria.
Andere's live set was recorded directly to cassette, copies of the original recording with a
reversed B-side are also available at
bootlegtapes@posteo.de.

This episode is a cut up my friend Bocu assembled for Unlive Musick. It's made up of material recorded and found in her phone: daily life, talking, crispy noises, music sessions and holding onto moments. Next to and on top of that: tracks and sketches surfaced from the depths of private chats. Moving around betwixt places and spaces and figuring things out her way. A composition of 3 years of caught expressions.
In her own words:
Music sound and noises are showing me what I'm longing for and what's already there, like a sensor
of my impulses,
a sound diary, the noises of life inspiring a direction.
What remains is circulation, is communication, the stroke of a bow
mysterious power
and plans with friends.

Practice Mix Vol. 1 was first streamed 2555 days or almost exactly 7 years ago on 141.41.19.7, an audiostream/webradio I organized with friends. It's a collection of recorded improvisations from mid 2016 to April 2017. There are lots of noisy sounds, slowed down breakbeats and voices emerging from radio static floating around over a soft bed of 808 basses. Practice Mix Vol. 1 is the first of a series I will re-release here in the following months.

Die hunderterste Stunde is a liveset I played in the 101st hour of a squatting of an art school studio building in Brunswick in an autumn night of 2017. It's a shy improvisation mostly filled by droning ravy synthesizer sounds, slow rhythms and ghostly voices fading in and out.
Releasedate:
unlive 23 (brand new) is a mix of recorded impovisations from 2023. Some prepared, practiced and in front of an audience, some alone at night in the comfort of my bed. I hit cymbals, drumpads, samples and wrong notes while humming into a tiny microphone, summoning a swarm of bees.
