time collapsed screenshots is improvised music between free jazz and progressive rock. In these different times of corona and war we musicians are permanently in search of meaning and peace in kind of a new speech.

time collapsed screenshots has no requirements in chords, lines or melodies. except in one song. the only requirement I made was related to time structure, texture and rough shapes in particular situations.

time collapsed screenshots should directly reflect the times of corona. It is a snapshot. It doesn't feel stable and comfortable. The music feels strong and loud but fragile at the same time. A rebellion against partially hopeless situations.
