Laya

With seemingly effortless precision and a sense for the imperfect, Popp merges Ambient, Third Stream and Minimal Music on his debut album „Laya“. The title derives from the Sanskrit language and signifies a place of rest and mental inactivity. In the spring of 2019 Popp created these 8 tracks from hours of improvisation in his own studio. The moments thus captured were then enriched with more sounds and effects to add layers and shed the manually played percussion of all its earthliness. The result is an album of concealed complexity and unadorned beauty. Written, Recorded and Mixed by Simon Popp, Mastered by Christoph Stickel at CS-Mastering, Artwork by Miro Maria Schachtner, Design by Daily Dialogue, (c)+(p) 2019 Squama
