LOGIC MOON

Tobias "Logic Moon" Lorsbach comes from Mainz, Germany. He began his musical career as a DJ and was active in the minimal techno scene in the early 2000s. At the same time, he played guitar in a death metal band until he increasingly turned to ambient music.

During a field recording trip, the idea arose to combine ambient drone elements with his recordings – this resulted in his debut album Herbst11 as Logic Moon in 2013. His compositions often begin with a guitar sketch, followed by synthesizers and other layers.

This cross-genre background (techno, metal, ambient) shapes his stylistic approach: The press describes that Tobias as Logic Moon makes "guitar-oriented ambient and drone music" and his music is often perceived as "lively" and as a balance between classical accessibility and experimental discovery.

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, supported by old tube amplifiers and tape noise for warmth and humanity. Neoclassical components also appear – for example, the collaboration album The Quiet Companion (2023) is characterized by "gentle neoclassical pieces with piano, synthesizer pads and strings".

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 – from bright guitar picking to texturally rich drone surfaces to quiet bird and nature recordings.

Logic Moon received positive response in the trade press and ambient blogs. For example, Ambientblog praises the cinematic character of his work, such as the album The Unavoidable Death of Loneliness, which "combines post-classical arrangements and ambient soundscapes into adventurous, cinematic compositions." International websites also highlight how well Logic Moon's style complements his partners.

Headphone Commute describes The Quiet Companion as a collection of "gentle, neoclassical pieces with piano, synthesizer pads and strings" that harmoniously grow together despite spatial distance. In interviews and features, it is often emphasized that Tobias Lorsbach's experience from techno and metal as well as his use of guitars and field recordings give his ambient music an organic depth.

Listeners appreciate the emotional access and the multi-layered atmosphere of his albums, as fan reviews and blog features repeatedly confirm. Overall, Logic Moon is considered a seasoned producer with consistently high quality: His releases are usually perceived as "expressive" and "finely balanced".

Logic Moon is among the active players in the contemporary ambient and experimental scene. Through numerous releases on international labels and his collaborations, he contributes to the network of European ambient artists. With over 40 releases since 2012, he has established a firm place in the scene.

His style – the combination of electronic ambient music with neoclassical and acoustic elements – inspires other artists to explore similar cross-genre soundscapes. He also engages as a curator (e.g. of ambient playlists on streaming services) and thus shapes the listening habits of the community.

In sum, Logic Moon is considered an important representative of the German ambient movement, whose works are regularly presented through specialized channels.
