With seemingly eff ortless precision and a sense for the imperfect, Poppmerges Ambient, Third Stream and Minimal Music on his debut album"Laya". The title derives from the Sanskrit language and signifi es aplace of rest and mental inactivity. In the spring of 2019 Popp createdthese 8 tracks from hours of improvisation in his own studio. Themoments thus captured were then enriched with more sounds andeff ects to add layers and shed the manually played percussion of all itsearthliness. The result is an album of concealed complexity andunadorned beauty.
