Slow Motion by Christian Wittman

I have always been fascinated by the concept of slow motion. Reconfiguring the connections of space and time, adopting a different temporality from that of the "real" world, in a cross-fading of gestures, in a choreography in suspension...

My music explores this idea... A slow expansion of climates and sounds, all in fluidity and metamorphosis, which allows the listener to project his own movie on the screens of his imagination.

I do not conceive ambient music as a futile and superficial art, but as a particular experience of exploration of new dimensions of space and time, as an existential experience, for the musician as for the listener.

Or, to be more precise, I think that the listener co-produces my music, by letting himself be carried by it, by listening to it with a floating or focused attention, by letting the flow of sensations, images, memories occur.

Slow motion. It is necessary to take the time of the slowness... It is necessary to let unwind the sound threads in interior spaces...

I am one of the founding members of the French group LIGHTWAVE, which has been tracing a unique creative path in the field of electronic and ambient music since the 1980s.

This Bandcamp page is dedicated to my solo work.

My music is at the crossroads of ambient music and "atmospheric classical" with a strong emphasis on sound design and climates.
