Works with found sounds, voices, fieldrecordings, live wavs and midi's and mixes them in his own cross-rhythmic way.
exploring the secrets of drone and silence, trying to expand the moment in time, sphere and mood, tripping you to unknown places.
A part of goal is always to catch the complexity of a moment, a still; and from there explore the surrounding dimensions, moving you around on the same spot, only trying to make the spot seem bigger, broader, deeper and higher....
First releases on the Musictrade Netlabel in 2005 on the MT003 (Norberg 2005 Field Mixes) on the MT005 (Requiems for a Submerged City), a New Orleans tribute album, and the recent MT010 (Ice Mustard). Completely free downloads also on Mininova, where hi-res 24 bit flacs are available too.
Developing since then with influences from classic masterpieces towards more ambient, drone-like pieces that try to capture the full complexity of silence, as well as more rhythmic experimental pieces that try to shift yer mood rather than move yer feet.
Started some collaborations, where the songs with Justbase were released february 2007. In the mean time Ancient Species and JamatriX are released. A great base of virtual cooperations is realised since then.

After the latest releases KraftiM stopped making music. But the music still lives on, seemingly more urgent now than ever. KraftiM heard april 2020 there was no more cure for his cancer and only paincontrol was left. But meanwhile, may 2021 still walking around a bit, and took the offer here to release more tracks than only 3. So check here from now on regularly for re-releases.....
Glad to hear from you...
