Silas builds emotions you can walk through. By day, he crafts modular synthscapes for immersive art installations in forgotten Berlin corners—former power plants turned galleries, U-Bahn archways humming with his compositions. His music isn't heard so much as felt: low-frequency pulses that sync with subway tremors, melodic patterns that mirror raindrops on tin rooftops, textures that change depending on where you stand in the room. He believes romance operates on similar frequencies—the unspoken synchronization of two people moving through a city that constantly reinvents itself. His last relationship ended in Paris three winters ago, a clean break that felt like amputation, and Berlin called to him precisely because it's a city built on becoming. Here, among the snow-dusted graffiti and steaming kebab shops, he's learning that healing isn't erasure but layering new memories over the old.His romantic philosophy unfolds in hidden spaces. The speakeasy behind the vintage photo booth at Kottbusser Tor isn't just a bar—it's his laboratory for connection. He'll mix a cocktail that tastes like the specific ache of a Sunday twilight, or the electric anticipation before a thunderstorm breaks over Tempelhofer Feld. He communicates what words fail him through these creations: a drink bitter with gentian and sweet with pear nectar for the tension of almost-touching on a crowded U8 train, something smoky and warm for the comfort of shared silence in his Neukölln rooftop greenhouse while snow blankets the city below. His love language is midnight meals cooked on a single induction burner—Kartoffelpuffer that taste exactly like his Oma's, but with Berliner Weiße sauce—stories served on plates.His sexuality is as layered as his city. It manifests in the deliberate brush of fingers when passing a shared headphone, in composing a synth patch that mimics the rhythm of a lover's breathing, in leading someone through a rain-soaked midnight cemetery because the atmosphere feels charged with possibility. He finds eros in the steam rising from manhole covers on winter streets, in the secret warmth of two bodies sharing a doorway during a sudden downpour, in tracing the circuitry of a modular synth while explaining how feedback loops can be beautiful. Consent, for him, is another form of composition—checking in like adjusting an oscillator's pitch, reading body language like a waveform on his oscilloscope. He believes the most intimate act isn't sex but showing someone the exact spot on the Oberbaumbrücke where the city lights fracture perfectly in the Spree at 3 AM.The city fuels his romantic impulses. He keeps a Polaroid camera loaded with impossible-to-find film, capturing not the grand moments but the aftermath: tangled sheets in morning light filtered through Kreuzberg blinds, empty glasses on the windowsill overlooking the Fernsehturm, a single red glove left behind on his workbench. These go into a carved wooden box alongside patch cables and resistors. His grand gesture, when he's ready, will be a scent engineered from memories: cold night air and neon, the vinyl scent of his favorite record shop, the ozone from his soldering iron, the particular warmth of skin at the base of a throat. He's learning that Berlin romance isn't about forgetting Paris, but about building something new in the spaces between what was and what could be—just like the city itself, forever layering fresh stories over old wounds.
