Ideas of the Far Future started as a collection of generative patches built using Max For Live and Eurorack modular synths to be used as background music for sleeping, studying and reading. | ||
This origin acted as a filter for ideas to narrow the focus to music that contains a quiet calmness, interesting but without a sense of intrusion. | ||

Anders Nils and Robert Hickerson are proud to present "Backyard Stud", a new experimental audio visual project combining live composed ambient soundscapes with live edited footage, merging performance and cinema. | ||
Heavily inspired by Edward Kienholz and Zbigniew Rybczynski, "Backyard Stud" pairs Nils’ meditative and nostalgic instrumentation with footage consisting of a series of tableaus constructed by Hickerson in collaboration with his two moms. | ||
