Syncope 2 by moonbooter

Syncope 1 and 2 form a common musical unit. The music was created between December 2021 and September 2024. I processed the events in the summer of 2021 when the flood of the century flooded our home and made sure that my life was completely different from one day to the next. At the beginning, many ideas emerged, sometimes only a few bars of short musical snippets, which I then put together piece by piece, like a puzzle. I sorted the collected melodies, sequences, sounds and rhythms and within 8 weeks I had almost 24 songs ready. Or so I thought. After the experiences of the flood and reconstruction, it was essential for me to take a break from life. For almost 20 years now, I have produced at least one album a year. From this point of view, it also made sense to take a musical break. In 2024, I took my time to rework all the songs on Syncope 1 and 2 and composed a few new songs for these albums. And like a jigsaw puzzle, the whole thing finally formed a complete picture. Incidentally, that was a time that I think back on very fondly and that was very good for me personally. The power of music is incredible. You can find 10 of these songs on both Syncope 1 and Syncope 2.

Despite the previous history, Syncope 1 and 2 have become rhythmic, melodic and sophisticated electronic albums in the typical moonbooter style. At one point or another it seems a little more experimental and overall it is perhaps more melancholy. But everyone should decide for themselves. I wish you good entertainment!
