Influenced by pioneering artists such as James Blake, Apparat, and Thom Yorke, German producer and songwriter Barbonus is set to release his latest concept EP, Just Silence, on September 19, 2025. The project explores the delicate interplay between electronic textures and emotional vulnerability, embracing silence and imperfections as fundamental elements of the soundscape. With fragility as its driving force, the EP invites listeners into a meditative world where stillness becomes a powerful form of expression.
Recorded in Barbonus’ intimate Freiburg studio, Just Silence is as much a sonic experiment as it is a deeply personal reflection. The music captures the essence of introspection, offering an atmosphere that transcends traditional electronic boundaries. Rather than filling every moment with sound, Barbonus allows space for silence to resonate, making absence a central theme of the listening experience. This unconventional approach positions the release as both innovative and emotionally evocative.
Barbonus has steadily built a reputation for weaving storytelling into his productions, drawing from past collaborations like the Unearthed EP with Vela Sorell and Demos ’96 with Klarstein.rocks. On Just Silence, Vela Sorell returns with deeply emotive contributions, helping shape the EP’s poignant narrative. Themes of memory and absence permeate the project, creating a dialogue between sound and stillness that lingers long after the music stops.
With Just Silence, Barbonus cements his role as a forward-thinking voice in the electronic music landscape. By prioritizing emotional depth over excess production, he delivers an immersive listening journey that challenges conventional expectations. The EP is not just a collection of tracks, but a cohesive statement that underscores the beauty of imperfection and the expressive power of restraint. Fans can anticipate a release that redefines how electronic music engages with silence, fragility, and human emotion.
