Himbrecht’s journey into music plays out like the hero’s journey. From a childhood spent captivated by the cinematic synths of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre to an adolescence drawn to the ground-breaking sounds of Timbaland and Kanye West, his influences are as varied as his artistry. Later, the nuanced, emotive productions of Stimming and Kollektiv Turmstrasse provided a blueprint for finding emotion in the electronic. For Himbrecht, crafting music is about channeling who you are.
That ethos is evident in Self Sufficient, Himbrecht’s new three-track EP released on David Hohme’s Where the Heart Is Records. This collection deftly blends melodic techno with avant-garde experimentation, striking a balance between emotional depth and intricate sound design. Months in the making, each track feels like a meticulously curated experience. The title track, a sprawling, contemplative piece, anchors the EP, while “Whatever and Ever” evolves through several bassline iterations, reflecting his process of continuous refinement. The result is a project that’s as immersive as it is forward-thinking.
But accolades follow where passion leads. Over the years, Himbrecht’s work has been both gaining ground while finding its place in the broader electronic music scene. Known for his ability to create atmospheric yet accessible tracks, he’s known as a rule breaker and certainly not a trend follower. Self Sufficient stands as both a culmination of his growth and a promise of what’s yet to come—a rare feat in a crowded field, accomplished by an artist who prioritizes authenticity above all else.
