Those Black Wires

Hi, and welcome.

I was born in 1980s communist Romania and grew up with the soundtrack of the '90s—the MTV generation. Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I found myself somewhere between metalheads, hip-hop fans, and Depeche Mode devotees. Over time, curiosity kept widening that world. My taste continues to evolve, always absorbing new influences and letting others go. The drums were my first love. More recently, I discovered the expressive power of synthesizers, and they have become an essential part of how I create.

Those Black Wires moves through electronic forms, touching trip hop, ambient, experimental, piano and synth textures, fragments of synth pop, and whatever else emerges. I don't set genre boundaries. If something feels true, it belongs.

Everything begins somewhere internal, rarely clear, always charged. I stay with it until it finds its own language: rhythm first, then texture, then whatever words can hold.

Some tracks stretch longer than expected. Some return to the same progression, the same pulse. They may feel unfinished. I don't step outside my limits to polish them into something they aren't; I work through them. Everything is played and shaped through my hands as they are now. What repeats isn't emptiness, but pressure meeting a boundary and staying there until something shifts.

I started making music to reconnect with myself, and, in doing so, to connect with anyone who recognizes something of themselves in it.

Thank you for being here and for taking the time to read these lines.

I don't take it for granted.

Much love,

Călin
