THE MALIX PROJECT

"In the winter of 2020/2021, I began to toy around with a guitar riff and a melody. I added some drums and bass, even a bit of strings and harp for effect. It sounded all very basic, like an intro to something. But it inspired me to record more and soon, the pieces became more elaborate.  At the time I was still involved in the mixing process of cye The Band's The Strange Animal from the North. So one day when I met with Felix Mueller from Tonstudio Nagelfabrik I played him the first four parts. When I asked him, if he could help me with drum loops and maybe a bit of decent bass playing, he agreed. In the end I came up with 11 parts and Felix became involved a lot more, rearranged some bits and pieces, played bass, programmed drums and percussion loops and finally established contact with drummer Chrstoph Beck and keyboarder Christian Roffler, both very well known in the Swiss music scene. Thus, Felix made The Malix Project com alive. Thanks a lot to everybody who contributed."  Marko Heinemann
