about

All tracks on STEAM HAMMER were created in December 2021 during the dubbing of six-part Billy Bitzer film documentary „Westinghouse Works“ from 1904. When I was looking for old silent film materials, I came across with this industrial film documentary from the early days of moving film. Billy Bitzer’s film shows impressively the hard working men at the factory halls, forges and foundries of the Westinghouse group. I tried to realize these impressions into music by improvising with drums, percussion and live electronics.

For this release all audio tracks have been remixed and remastered.

put on your best headphones, sit back and listen carefully to the sounds!
