TOBIAS LORSBACH
TOBIAS LORSBACH
Tobias Lorsbach is a Mainz, Germany-based artist known as Logic Moon and Aethery Fields. His previous releases have appeared on internationally recognized labels such as Whitelabrecs, Archives, Archipel, DRONARIVM, Ambientologist, Shimmering Moods, and his own The Moon Records imprint across both physical and digital formats.
He spent many years in the minimal techno scenes since the early 2000s, and whilst out on a field recording excursion, he fell upon the idea of layering some ambient drones. From here, his debut album as Logic Moon was born - "Herbst11".
Tobias' musical background has drawn in a widescreen of genres, with him having performed guitar in a death metal band, embarked on a DJ career, and now established himself as an ambient musician. His varied experiences have only served to give birth to a range of ideas which are evident in his acclaimed albums.
Recent collaborative projects include works with Swedish cellist Henrik Meierkord on albums such as "Inseln" (2022) and "Ewiger Wald" (2024), as well as partnerships with artists like Sven Laux and Scarless Arms.
SOUND AND AESTHETICS
Logic Moon's music merges ambient, drone and neoclassical influences. Typical are sound-painterly, cinematic soundscapes with electronic and acoustic elements.
His pieces often begin with guitar or piano motifs, overlaid with flowing synthesizer drones, strings and field recordings. An example of this is the album The Unavoidable Death of Loneliness: It weaves "melodic piano and guitar lines" with dark string sounds and hammering rhythms.
His Lux EP (2023), for example, is described as an "atmospheric sound tapestry" that combines contemporary ambient electronics with subtle neoclassical touches. Critics consistently praise the dense atmosphere and the mixture of organic and synthetic sounds.
