If you ever wondered what ambient music of the 21st century could sound like, then you should explore the musical spheres of “ifsonever”. This colorful debut-album draws a blueprint of an urban ambient club record of a parallel universe. A collage of beautifully improvised pieces, strictly recorded in “one takes”. A gripping fusion that brings together the warm analog textures of classic vintage synthesizers and electronic urban ambiences. Two old friends have been invited to contribute overdubs in hindsight. MillianX is a film composer and noise artist, a colleague from the viennese filmacademy. Both worked together on the film score for the science fiction movie „Rubikon" while the album was in its final stages. So a collaboration was an obvious choice. The creamy arpeggiated synthline created for „jonesy dreams of birds”' was extended by Millianx with some field recordings and a big cloudy synthwave that dips into a vast sea of noise
Guido Spannocchi is a london based jazz musician. Both knew each other for several years but never had the chance to work together. When Daniel Helmer wrote „an unknown error has occured" he imagined a saxophone layer to accompany the existing synthline. But when the two musicians finally got together to record in the legendary jazz club „Porgy & Bess", Guido just let his creativity flow and jammed freely to the track with a totally unique jazz vibe
Between film, music & sound Daniel Helmer is continuously searching for a spot to call his own. Expanding boundaries, pursuing the unheard and breaking genre definitions are byproducts of his curiosity and his drive to avoid repetition. Daniel Helmer resides in Vienna where he studied at the local film academy. He became one of the founding members of the techno-punk band “Gudrun von Laxenburg” with album releases on the legendary Skint label, collaborated with Sam Irl on “International Major Label” as the production duo “Mantra Mantra” and released an album as “Yogtze” on Gerd Janson’s imprint “Running Back Incantations”, together with Feater. At the moment he is focusing on his work as a film composer and is currently working on two feature films in Austria
