JAAR, by Howischris track by Howischris

I’m still learning, still finding the pockets of culture that resonate with me, but all I know is: this is my speed…

This reminds me of the ‘90s underground scene in Berlin and Detroit, where techno wasn’t about quick drops or easy hooks—it was about hypnosis, movement, and deep immersion. Hours-long sets, evolving textures, music that demands patience but rewards you for it.

Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into techno—not just the sound, but the culture behind it. I’m moving away from instant gratification and into something slower, more intentional, more fluid—where rhythm and storytelling take the lead.

Years ago, my best friend introduced me to Nicolas Jaar. I remember watching a Boiler Room set where he was bending time itself—improvising with a radio, pulling sound from the ether, shaping it live. It wasn’t just music; it was risk, intuition, pure presence. That moment stuck with me….

My new offering “JAAR”

This is my meditation on that feeling. An 18-minute improvised set. Pirate radio signals caught and sculpted through a sampler, performed in a single take. No roadmap, no safety net—just the loop unfolding, evolving, dissolving.

Improvisation has completely transformed my creativity and fueled the sessions I’ve been sharing. It’s given me a freedom I didn’t know I needed—a belief system that drives the music and inspires me to give it my all. What I share here barely scratches the surface, and maybe it’s not supposed to.

Maybe I’ll go over patch notes on this platform and talk about how I structure my improvisation for electronic music. 🤔

Niceee

Here’s to change and hopefully better balance. I’ll share here now as well.
