[1998-2004] THE ORIGIN OF GHOSTS THAT HAUNT

Uncredited engineering and ghost-production in the early post-war Balkan rave scene.

Rhythms that circulated under alternative names.

[2004-2017] LOST IN THE MACHINE

System hiatus. Integration into the engineering sector. Years spent monitoring networks and grids, developing solutions, and observing decaying infrastructure.

[2018-PRESENT] REACTIVATION

  • 2018The flame rekindled.
  • 2021'Lost In The Machine' LP.
  • 2021-Active participant in the 'Embers Breaks' movement (on Dogs On Acid forum) and a series of independent EP releases.
  • 2024'II' LP.

METHODOLOGY

The structural collage of brutalism, abandonment, and the "Age of Hope". Breakbeats as foley; atmospheres as weight; melody/harmony as storytelling.

Nothing Gearwatcher says about himself should be taken at face value.
