"Autodidactic, ambitious and passionate realizer in sound and vision. Nothing else..."
CONSISTENT AND BEYOND ANY RULES – DRIFTING AND INCESSANT. A MACHINERY OF INTERLOCKING ELEMENTS UNDERPINNED BY ENERGY AND SPACE. HIS SOUND BURSTS WITH POWER AND DRIVE. MICHAEL SCHWARZ HAS BEEN GOING HIS OWN WAY SINCE THE EARLY 2000S, WORKING ON HIS UNIQUE SOUND. ORIGINATING FROM THE OLD GDR, HIS MUSIC REFLECTS THE ROUGH AND MOSTLY RELUCTANT TONE. A WEALTH OF FACETS AND THE WILL TO ACT FAR AWAY FROM THE STANDARD, HE INTRODUCES SEQUENCES THAT SEEM TIMELESS AND AT THE SAME TIME SURREAL. PASSION IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND HIS WORK. MICHAEL SCHWARZ IS A DJ AND PRODUCER FROM NORTHERN GERMANY, KNOWN FOR HIS CONSISTENT TECHNO SOUND AND FOUNDER OF THE LABELS HARD DRIVE RECORDS AND SEGREGATE.
ANOTHER PASSION IS PHOTOGRAPHY. FASCINATED BY THE ARTISTIC POSSIBILITIES OF EXPRESSING ONESELF AND PRESERVING MOMENTS. BE IT PEOPLE, LANDSCAPES OR BIZARRE THINGS. GIVING MOMENTS A STILL LIFE AND MAKING THEM ACCESSIBLE TO FOREIGN EYES IS A GREAT WAY TO SHOW ONE’S OWN PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE. SENSUAL AND EMOTIONAL SUBJECTS FASCINATE HIM AS MUCH AS ECCENTRIC AND EXTRAVAGANT COMPOSITIONS. USING LIGHT AND SHADOW TO TELL A STORY IS AS CHALLENGING AS USING MUSIC TO CREATE AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT. SOMETIMES AESTHETIC, SOMETIMES PROVOCATIVE. PRESENTING STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES THROUGH EXPRESSION, POSING, IMAGE MANIPULATION AND DESIGN IS PART OF THE ART. UNAPPROACHABLE, INTROVERTED, FEARFUL, CONFIDENT, STRONG, FEMININE – ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS BEST DESCRIBE WHAT HE WANTS TO CAPTURE AND REPRESENT IN HIS IMAGES.
THE WORLD LOOKS DIFFERENT THROUGH A CAMERA.
