As a composer and musician for theatre, Jonas Schilling has worked with many theaters and independent projects all over Germany, in Switzerland and Turkey. Jonas Schilling was born into a family in which music was an everyday expression of joy and togetherness. The experience of music as an immersive room that is not divided into performer and listener shaped his way of thinking about music and sound. Growing up with jazz, gospel and rock music he later recognized the transcendent potential of electronic dance culture and started to integrate its concepts to his own music. His tracks are often in search of an optimism and positivity that emerge through the experience of breaking and transgressing. He tries to question genre traditions and combine the seemingly contradictory: complex polyrhythms with immersive harmonies, elements of modal jazz with techno beats, underground with mainstream. His Traum EP We Tried To Turn Back Time pays tribute to the rave culture while at the same time incorporating classic instruments like piano, electric basses and jazz drums. The titles allude to the messianic hope of stopping time itself as well as the utopian localization of a space- and timeless place.
