Toshiro lives where Berlin hums lowest — in the subsonic thrum beneath elevated trains, in the feedback between abandoned infrastructure and defiant art. By day, he composes modular synth pieces that feel like conversations with architecture, layering field recordings from U-Bahn brakes, dripping condensation in underground tunnels, and the breath of sleeping transformers. His studio is a converted boiler room in Prenzlauer Berg, thick with cables and the warmth of overworked modules that sing like ghosts when left on too long. He doesn’t perform often; instead, he hosts intimate gatherings in a forgotten turbine hall on the Spree’s eastern bank — a secret dance floor lit only by LED strips powered from a repurposed forklift battery, where people move like they’re remembering something essential.He doesn’t believe in love at first sight — but love at third listen. He once rewired a partner’s broken portable heater before they even mentioned it was faulty; another time, he noticed her favorite coffee cup had chipped and replaced it with an identical one two days later from a flea market across Neukölln. His love language is preemption: fixing what aches before it’s voiced. But he hides his own fractures well — a failed engagement left him relearning how to trust resonance. Now, every relationship feels like patch programming: delicate routing of vulnerability through filters that prevent overload.His sexuality unfolds slowly, tactile and intentional — skin meeting under flickering neon during rooftop rainstorms, fingers tracing vertebrae like they’re reading a score, breath syncing in stairwells after club sets when words aren’t needed. He kisses with the precision of someone adjusting a filter cutoff: slow at first, then deepening with controlled intensity. He believes touch should reveal, not consume. His ideal intimacy happens in the quiet aftermath — tangled sheets at dawn, sharing pastries on a fire escape overlooking Mauerpark while the city shakes off its night skin.He keeps Polaroids — not of faces or moments exactly, but of spaces after she was there: an empty chair still warm, a lipstick mark on a glass, footprints on dusty floorboards. Each is dated and filed like musical stems. And once every season, if someone stays long enough, he creates something new: not music, but scent — blending smoke from burnt patch cables, vanilla ash from incense used during deep talks, and river mist captured in glass vials during midnight walks. It is how he archives feeling.
