About

A state of mind between reality and fantasy – dreamlike, psychedelic, vague, unexplained. With his fascination for bass-heavy and low-fi, WANDL creates a sound from another dimension.

WANDL is one of the few artists encompassing an impressive array of various artistic mediums. He is a composer, producer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist and music video producer/director. His seamless utilization of these elements are crucial to create and explore the overall vibe for the specific emotional world of his songs. The cornerstones of his music are deeply rooted in soul, hip-hop, electronic, and club music – creating sonic pillars that are smooth, but at the same time always warped, brittle, fragile, blurry... and broken.

WANDL’s lyrics create a space for those who choose to absorb them. They are leaps into a world whose complexity and brutality may be overwhelming for many, but searching for liberation – even if only for the moment. His voice morphs like its own organism, flowing into each other – the edges, the curves – equally facile in English or German.

From his home base of Vienna, WANDL creates floating sanctuaries – built from his shadows and longings: dark, cute, callous, playful, misty, sexy, razor-sharp, yet sensitive. Faded memories, hands in the airstream, striking the emotional mark and heart... leaking out on all sides, gliding quasi-paralyzed in the ether, searching for the real thing on earth – something like a soul.
