Rutger Muller - Lost in meditation
Composer Rutger Muller creates calmly sliding soundscapes populated with electronically processed sounds. Because his focus is more on the colour and the inner movement of the sound than on melody or harmony, his sound sculptures inspire a meditative listening attitude. Muller's work slips by without major dramatic conflicts, like a film that slowly fades, as a theatrical experience ritual with the mystical tranquillity of a natural experience.

Sound sculptures that inspire meditative listening
The subtle microtonal possibilities of the 31-tone organ are ideally suited to the ambient music of Muller, who describes his work as 'focused on the fine-meshed timbre and spatial experience of the acoustic environment'. With his soundscapes, he wants to touch on the 'spiritual essence of musical cultures' and 'explore how to understand it within the context of today's hectic digital culture.'
