Austrian electronic music producer Peter Kalcic, better known as B.Visible, presents his third studio album titled Life is my Hobby through his own imprint, Data Snacks. This new album sees B.Visible continuing to blend genres, drawing inspiration from the trip-hop sounds of the '90s, the R&B of the '80s, and mellow house music. True to his signature style, he maintains a balanced mix of acoustic drum sounds, electric pianos, and shimmering synths. Unlike his previous works, the creation process for Life is my Hobby extended beyond the traditional studio setting. Much of the album was crafted in his newly moved apartment and various cafes in Vienna's 5th district. His collaboration partners were close to home, literally -- Anda Reverie and Silvia Ponce Marti, his upstairs and downstairs neighbors, respectively, feature as vocalists on the album. Silvia Ponce Marti's contribution for instance is featured on the track "Ella," which addresses the sensitive issue of the hyper-sexualization of the female body in today's society. She also created a stunning mixed media video for the song, which can be viewed here. Anda Reverie appears on the track "Bad Karma," portraying an alien questioning the moral implications of humanity's destruction. The music video for this song brings the scenario to life with dreamy environments and unsettling projections. B.Visible describes the album's creation as guided by causality, resulting in a less experimental and more accessible sound -- his closest encounter with pop music to date. Asked about the title he keeps quite. The listener is encouraged to form their own opinion from the impressions.
