Sepia Filter is a solo electronic music project started in 2006. After having struggled making music with really cheap instruments - an old Casio 100 keyboard, a dictation microphone, CakeWalk, and failed attempts at using Rebirth, I moved on to Reason and later Ableton Live. From 2008-2020, I experimented with different styles of music, including electronic, dance, and hip-hop.
I've always strived to create music with a lot of emotion and a focus on catchy melodies. My early music was heavily-influenced by feelings of despair, isolation, and loneliness, but there was a shift around 2019 where I started to write more optimistic music, shying away from darker feelings. I still write melancholy songs and experiment with surreal sounds, but I think my music is a bit more fantasy & dream-oriented these days. My music might qualify as "synth music", but I'm not sure exactly what that means. I guess you could classify it electronica as well.
I'm heavily influenced by 80s artists ranging from Phil Collins to Pet Shop Boys, Harold Faltermeyer, and Cocteau Twins. More modern influences include artists such as 2814, Luxury Elite, and Windows96.
After a long break, I started working on a new album in late 2025, which is expected to be released in 2026.
