EDMTunes: Speaking of ‘I Talk To Water,’ could you share a bit more about the inspiration behind this album and its significance in your musical journey?
Kölsch: The album is about the passing of my father in 2003 and how you can use grief as a driving force. My father was a musician and the album features 3 tracks with him.
