IN CONVERSATION WITH MiDi BiTCH: A glimpse behind the frequencies of the new album „Unstern“
„Unstern“ feels less like an album and more like a state of mind — dark, cosmic, and introspective. Where did it begin?
Unstern started with a feeling — a quiet unrest, a sense of something not being quite right. Not in the world outside, but deep within. I wanted to create a sound-space where memory, discomfort, and disorientation could resonate. The album is both a journey through the subconscious and a gaze into the stars — where the cosmic and the intimate overlap.

The name MiDi BiTCH is unusual and provocative. What’s the story behind it?
It’s part concept, part confrontation. “MIDI” represents the technical core of my work — the structured, machine-driven logic of digital music-making. “BITCH” breaks that formality. It introduces attitude, identity, defiance. Together, the name reflects a tension I explore constantly: between control and chaos, precision and rebellion. MiDi BiTCH is a persona, but also a position — between cyborg and poet, machine and noise.
How does that energy flow into Unstern?
It’s embedded in every sound. I work with modular unpredictability, granular processing, and systems that almost compose themselves. Glitches, artifacts, broken loops — they’re not mistakes, they’re invitations. The album is about embracing instability and making peace with the unknown.

What does your creative process look like?
Often it begins with a fragment — a drone, a forgotten field recording, a random pulse from a generative patch. In Bitwig, I build semi-autonomous setups and let them breathe. My role is to listen deeply, guide gently, and remove what doesn’t serve the emotional core. It’s about surrender, more than control.
What do you hope listeners take away from Unstern?
Not answers. Just questions. Maybe a sense of recognition — or disorientation. Maybe comfort in the strange. Unstern doesn’t explain; it mirrors. If someone hears themselves in it, even just a flicker, then it has done its job.
Any final words for the listener?
Thank you for being here — and out there.
Hailing frequencies always open.
