MSP: Crafting the Soundtrack to the Human Condition
In a world oversaturated with fleeting digital noise, MSP emerges with a mission far more ambitious—creating a soundtrack for life. Drawing inspiration from the evocative realms of film music, particularly the haunting atmospheres of western-sci-fi and horror, MSP weaves a sonic narrative that aims not just to be heard, but felt.
At its core, MSP’s music is electronic—ethereal, spacious, and cinematic. Yet it breathes with organic life, thanks to carefully curated acoustic instrumentation that pulses through the soundscapes like veins of emotion. Guitars, drums, and other live elements are not just embellishments; they’re vital organs within the body of each track, grounding the digital with the tactile. The result? A vivid, visual listening experience—music that doesn’t just accompany a scene, it creates one.
This isn't just about melodies—it's about moments. MSP invites listeners to embrace both triumphs and failures, joys and sorrows, with a score that reflects the raw beauty of human experience. “Enjoy your defeats and come out ahead,” says the project’s ethos. Each track becomes a chapter in an ever-evolving story.
The collaborative spirit of MSP is just as expansive as its sound. Drum recordings for the first release feature Gernot Weller of the band Lydian, captured at the intimate Primitive Studios in Vienna. Acoustic sessions—whether it’s the crash of cymbals or the warm resonance of a guitar—add weight and texture to the dreamy electronics.
Mastering duties are shared between Robert Eder at Vienna’s Artis Studio and The Mastering House in the USA, ensuring a polished, global finish to each sonic journey.
One of MSP’s standout moments is The Alienation Of Affection RMX, a brooding, layered collaboration with Gontlath, set to be released under Flowing Records as part of the Intracardials single. It’s a tantalizing preview of what’s to come.
This spring, MSP will unveil its debut EP—available on CD and a limited-edition vinyl pressing. Details are still under wraps, but anticipation is growing for a release that promises to be both timeless and timely.
With eyes set on new destinations and ears tuned to emotion, MSP isn’t just making music—it’s mapping the highs and lows of existence, one cinematic beat at a time.
