My latest excursions in ambient and meditative drone music, named after an unofficial CD-R release from 2005. Two ethereal textured loops and stochastically driven tree tones, utilizing an instrument designed by Dillon Bastan with Max For Live.

Dub Diva – Dub Techno Soundset
Recently I collaborated with Martin Stürtzer, Martin Nonstatic, and Luftrum on a soundset for U-He Diva. Really loved working on the sound design and very pleased how the complete soundset turned out.
“Dive into the hypnotic world of Dub Techno with Dub Diva, a collection of 137 expertly designed synth presets, brought to life through the collaborative synergy of Dub Techno artists Martin Nonstatic, Ohrwert and Martin Stürtzer, and sound designer Luftrum. United by their passion, this dream team has joined forces to craft an outstanding compilation of synth presets for U-He Diva.”
Sphaera
Atmospheric deeptech cut. Half the beats, double the depth. Comes with complementary beatless version.
The Extragalactic Sessions Part 4
The Extragalactic Sessions is a series of recordings, sonically spiralling amidst the outer filaments of the universe in an attempt to escape the fluxus of life on Earth.
Moving in stellar groups alongside Alpha Persei and Beta Pictoris, traversing interplanetary dust clouds through non-stellar radiation, until galactic obscuration.

Serenus
Spiritual successor of “Parcial”, serenity ensues.
Parcial
A seemingly effortless flow of harmonic partials, divided in two, with each their own ethereal character.
NºXX
The ambiguous title “NºXX” refers to both the Latin writing for night and number twenty. Much as “Tenth” (Other Heights, 2010) was a closing album for the Reduct series 1 to 9, “NºXX” is a closing album for the Reduct series 11 to 19.
As the reference in the title to night suggests, the music is all about nocturnal dub vibes, weaving through moonlit ambient clouds.
Nineteenth Reduct
For the nineteenth installment of the Reduct series I took inspiration from the initial series 1 through 9 with its extended hardware sessions, resulting in two 10+ minute dub techno tracks with a vintage flair.

I N F R A KLANG [Remastered]
Thirteen years after its conception, a remaster of the Infraklang catalog was long overdue. Set up as an audio blog, parallel to the Reduct series, its focus was to release more diverse recordings from the new studio.
For this album though, I have limited myself to remaster just the Ohrwert recordings, which still clocks in at over 90 minutes. As none of the tracks dip below the ten minute mark, they range from extensive tube-amplified tape echo excercises, to a half-beat crossover between Berlin-school and dub techno, all documenting a slice of time I spent in the studio, jamming into the wee hours of the morning.
