A "multitasker", a one-man army, a chameleon: Simply put, Markus Wormstorm is a phenomenon. As we look for the perfect door to open for this restless man from Kapstadt, we cannot seem to find a single one that would actually please us. The 30?year old South African is a writer, a sculptor, an app and video game designer, a composer, a cat lover, a founding member of a fantasy collective for animated short films, a producer and an electronic musician. In a nutshell, he is that sort of classical educated pianist that can barely stay still. Last year Wormstorm presented us with a one?of?a?kind?project: "Not I, But A Friend". Available as a free download, the thirteen tracks offer 50?minutes of a musical odyssey characterized by a tremendous depth and an emotional deepness rarely seen before. Filled with spooky vocals, plaintive strings, tickling basses and a Yann Tiersen?based ivories romanticism, Wormstorm's "Ambient?Electronica" reenacts a world of mystical subtleties, spectral textures and acoustic details. Instead of becoming a dance album or a typical sound landscape, his music verges on an atmospheric soundscape with a rather gloomy, cinematic touch. "Not I, But A Friend" offers us a contrasting ride of musical textures enriched with vibraphones, clarinets, marimbas, cellos and even tweeting birds. This brings Wormstorm to a musical cornerstone that may even well be appealing to jazz, hip?hop or techno trendsetters. Modern, classic and minimalistic, "Not I, But A Friend" promises to be the spring soundtrack of the subconscious.
