As “Ruhe”

I quickly settled on my last name as my primary moniker. “Ruhe” is a German word meaning “peace,” “silence,” or “rest.” Under that name, I have recorded many hours of process-focused ambient, created primarily with digitally-manipulated analog tape recordings of acoustic instruments and sampled vinyl.

As “Drunk Hummingbird”

Drunk Hummingbird
MKAY (2021)

Over time, I found myself with a collection of recordings that didn’t conform to the sound aesthetics of my work as Ruhe. These noisy tape sounds were eventually collected and self-released on this single album, sarcastically-titled MKAY.

As “Slug Wizard”

Slug Wizard
Slug Wizard (2021)

This micro-album (it’s only 6 minutes long) was made as a companion piece to the first Slug Wizard event I organized in 2021. The songs were composed using an application called nanoloop, which was initially developed for use on the Nintendo Gameboy. As a result, the low bit-rate gives the music a retro video-game feel.
