I just ran a kind of large interview with Stefan Traunmuller recently. Creative, humble guy. Have you heard any of the newer, remastered demo reissues?

DeleteVery interesting indeed!Thanx for the heads up!
As for the reissues yes i am aware of them and i must give Stefan the thumbs up for giving the chance to hear all this obscure old creations through his bandcamp page.
Apeiron, Vanitas and Auryn demos are excellent stuff!
Cheers!
He told me in private that he has been working on a new, "old ways dungeon synth" project. Pretty excited!
