Pocket Sunshine is a project that is quite the contrary to the dark, philosophical themes of Carbo Vivus that lead the listener to contemplate. Instead, Pocket Sunshine features wholesome electronic songs with experimental twists such as microtonality, that aim to calm and brighten up the day of the listener. This is reflected in the name of the project: It is called Pocket Sunshine, because the music, which you listen to from the phone in your pocket, aims to bring a little bit of light into dark days.

Space Geckos
I got the idea for this song from a painting of a gecko in a space suit that a good friend of mine painted. The idea was a cute, kind of vintage sounding track, that told the interstellar journey of 3 geckos to the star system alpha centaury, which is the closest to our solar system. I wanted to incorporate some mission control audio similar to that of the apollo missions and some rocket and spaceship sounds that bring the story together and are an extra little treat for space nerds like me 🙂 Speaking of space nerds, i needed some extra voices for the prelaunch status check, so i asked my space nerd friends if they would like to give the geckos a go for launch and they agreed and are now eternalized in the track!
