It’s fair to say that Hamburg-based performer Niklas Paschburg has so far drawn maritime influence for his neo classical-strained ambient releases, from the stormy seas of 2018’s Oceanic to the icy climes of new release Svalbard.

When did you start making music?
“I started to play the piano aged five. My grandparents had a piano at home and I started to play some keys and tried to find sounds which fit together.
