about

With Braindance of the Hikikomori, Max Maxell (aka Karsten Pflum) provides a fictional script depicting introversion, solitude and encapsulation. Divided in 5 acts, the sonic narrative holds everything lovers of dystopian 80s movies are hungry for: Miso-smelling synth leads, spicy arpeggios, mincing tensions and bittersweet reliefs - Think of a cup of instant ramen noodles you have in a tiny flat in Osaka on a rainy day … over again and again. Dive deeply into the imaginary world of a Hikikomori and enjoy the dinner for one.

„Some folks feed the ducks in the park, but my mother knows in her heart that I’m OK. I have Sakura. And I love her. Nothing else really matters…“

Braindance of the Hikikomori is Max Maxell’s second release. Max concentrates on the sounds of tapes and synths playing in a sedated dystopian cosmos.

Dear Karsten, congratulations on this terrific compilation! Finally the orphaned files find a place in my ears as well! From there the catchy melodies (like in Computer Weekend) go straight to my heart and the groovy beats to my legs. Anima Animus: What an impressive percussion! And the relaxed melody fits so wonderfully to it! Perfect! AndyMio
