Nonostar Records ︎
I’ve been collaborating with Nono Star Records, an independent record label with a custom-built record studio on the border between Germany and Poland.
Field Kit is the name of a workstation: a technical multi-instrument which receives radio signals and alternating voltages with which all kinds of noises and signals can be produced, outputted and controlled. Nono Star Records is a creative collaboration between Hannah von Hübbenet andcomposer, pianist and producer John Gürtler., Together they make experimental and classical compositions under Nono Star.. Both artists also produce music for films lending a quality to their compositions that narrates deep feelings with no need of voice.

For their first album I´ve been composing the storytelling of their singles. I've been able to experiment with visual composition together with their concept - the most freeing workflow I’ve ever had and yet still most complex. Is interesting to see how the communication with Hannah works when I’m presenting the storytelling of a song, we really don't need to talk much to understand what we mean or what she wants. Sometimes it is a single image or a phrase that expresses the whole story and she gets it.

The more I risk in the story and visual composition, the more surprise and reciprocity I get from the musicians. Nono Star Records and I share an appraoch to art conception. I’m grateful to have clients that believe and strive for the same values in art composing as I do. It is never easy to work within the experimental, but it can begin to feel like a reflex, if you let yourself go and allow yourself to break boundaries.
