Discography

Nocturnes I

Christian Wittman

The starting point for this album is a photo taken one summer evening from a window in Dunkirk, a memory of a free reverie in front of the spectacle of a blazing twilight, where the last lights of the setting sun were about to vanish between the darkness of the Northern sea and that of the sky.

"Nocturnes I" is the musical story of a night between dusk and dawn, accompanying thoughts, images, memories and sensations.

Minimalist, intimate musical landscapes, where electronic instruments and treatments gently suggest peace and serenity.

Ambient music between wakefulness and sleep, at the threshold of dreams, when everything calms down and silence is woven in with the murmurs of the night. 

"Nocturnes I" accompanies the quiet flight of consciousness into the dreamy heart of night.

REVIEWS

•• "One of the standout tracks from this captivating release is the mesmerizing “Evanescent Shades,” an ambient composition that delicately weaves together ethereal tones and atmospheric textures."

•• "I really love the sound design of your work. It's so alive, so organic, like I've said before I am left wondering how it's done 😊 It really is a unique atmosphere created in the hands of someone with a keen eye both of the details and the totality." (Beatradar)

•• "Nocturnes is listened to with eyes half-closed, letting its shifting landscapes unfold, so many subtle incidences inviting themselves surreptitiously.
An unfolding of our inner films, Chritian Wittman's ambient is always sonic lacework, nothing predictable, you have to follow the path as it unfolds, and when it's over, you pick up another from his discography.
I draw the parallel with possible sonic haikus.
Enjoy your immersion."
