Who is the Dadanaut?

Cosmos

Some time in the 1920s, between Dada cabaret and silent cinema, he appeared: the Dadanaut. Instead of eyes he wears a viewer mask. Everything he sees ends up as a stereo picture on a little reel – and because memories fade without sound, he puts music underneath.

I don't collect photos. I collect moments – with a soundtrack.

How an album is made

  1. 1 · Mask on

    The Dadanaut puts on the mask. The world turns into a picture in stereo.

  2. 2 · Click!

    One press of the lever, and the moment sits in one of the fourteen windows of a reel.

  3. 3 · Add music

    The Mnemophone lays sound beneath the pictures. That becomes an album – cinema for the mind to take home.

Behind the mask

Behind the Dadanaut there's a person with guitars, synthesizers and too many ideas. [Placeholder: tell people who you are, how long you've been making music and how your pieces come about.]
