ABOUT AIRSPACE

The idea for Airspace came while I was lying in the park listening to Playground Love on headphones, somewhere in the summer of 2016. I remember the whole sound and arrangement of the track suddenly struck me as so overwhelmingly beautiful that I had this sudden urge to figure out: ‘How the hell does this song work? How do you write something so intelligent and so effortless at the same time?’ 

I needed to know. 

So I got myself into the studio and started figuring out how the song fitted together, more like a study in composition than anything else. Then I thought: how would it sound if performed on mostly acoustic instruments, not synthesizers? How flexible is it as a song? Pretty flexible, turns out. The whole process ended up being so much fun that I decided to make a lengthy project of it. I picked a bunch of my favourite Air classics and started analysing and recreating them as acoustic Someone tracks. The result was a chilled-out five track EP, buckets of fresh inspiration to be infused into my own songwriting and even more admiration for masters Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel. Lots of birds, lots of stones.
