Here I'm again – with a new instrumental album and it is different from my previous works – it's no maxxess-album. In contrast to my maxxess project, I used guitars only discreetly here or distorted them in such a way that they are no longer recognizable as such. Instead, I used a world of sound that is only possible with electronic instruments. It was important to me to create a dynamic that alternates between very quiet and powerful moments. Each composition tells of the creatures of the forest - whether fairies, elves, dwarves or will-o'-the-wisps. They all have a deep symbiosis with the forest, and it was important to me to bring the mystical atmosphere to life musically.

Here we are again!
In 2004 we released our first CD together, named CONTACT. That was 20 years ago. Since then we have explored different styles of music in solo projects and other joint projects. We have often been on the road together and have played live in many countries. Over the years a deep bond and friendship has developed that goes beyond music. While CONTACT was still a timid approach and experimental combination of rock and electronics #Sleep is the result of two friends who know exactly how they want to sound. SLEEP contains 8 songs, and each of them tells its own story that we would like to share with you. Sleep connects us all - everyone sleeps and knows how it feels. It is a dive into a world of its own, a slipping over, a journey. We enter this world to regenerate, but at the same time the dark sides reveal themselves in the subconscious. We invite you to accompany us on this journey and have fun with us on the

Sonic Transients is an ambient project by Axel Stupplich and me, but it's not another Axess/Maxxess-Album.
What's the story about this album?
In winter 2023 we retreated to the Rhön (DE) to record this album. We rented an old house with a view to the Wasserkuppe, the highest mountain in this area. We had all our equipment with us, sat in front of the fireplace and were inspired by the silence and the landscape. We didn't have a concept or half-finished material with us, we wanted to be inspired by the moment for something new. We startet from zero and the music that was created here is far away from what we have done in other projects.The basis for this sound was created on our hikes through the deep snow in wind and fog. Wanna hear it?

I’m proud to present my seventh instrumental solo work. „Reactivate“ ties in seamlessly with his predecessor works and builds a bridge between electronic music and progressive rock. Warm sound collages, powerful rhythm structures and monstrous guitar walls alternate and bring this atmospheric, dense music to the point.
Available from February 1st, 2021 on CD, Bandcamp and on all musicchannels, streamingportals and at the wellknown Onlineshops in the Buy-Section.
