In 2015 we invented Elsa + Fock while dealing with a seemingly simple desire: to do something meaningful for us beside our daily jobs. So we asked ourselves what we really want and need and got rid of the interference factors.
And then we started.
It all began with loads of post-its on our kitchen wall to sort all the things we want (and don't want). We combine our passions – the freedom of travelling, the love for music, photography, art and those special moments – and connect those elements, strains, samples, feelings and atoms into something different and new. We capture moments and impressions and put these into new context, transforming the components in a way you often cannot only see, but smell, feel and hear. This is the way we are connecting the dots. And we are extremely happy we've found Wilson as a true companion to bring us to all those places we don't know yet.
How we do that?
To be honest: lot’s of things – we don’t know. We still work in our jobs as freelancers, but we put more and more time and passion into what we really love. So things will work slowly. We didn’t start with a formal business plan, and rather than following traditional models of starting a business, we just apply common sense to figure things out as they are coming up. We started this project in Duesseldorf, but it’s not meant to stay here forever. It's free to turn in every direction we decide to go next. It’s a constant letting go, a constant picking up, and then letting go again. Connecting those events results in our awareness, life, thinking and everything we do.
I’m Joerg!
I love music, photography, design, art and traveling. I’m into electronic music and sound design since 1988 when I bought my first synths. I am researching end experimenting in sampling and looping techniques, wavetable synthesis, field recordings and how to process and mix those sounds into epic and meditative soundscapes, deep chords, lush textures and noisy micro rhythms. I released music on AvantRoots, Seven Villas, Archipel, Source Records, Kompakt, Thinner and other labels. With Elsa + Fock i focus more into deep ambient music.

The other part of me is UX/UI design specialist, working as a freelancer. I love getting lost in traveling, photography and art which touches me. I love details. And I still love skateboarding.
I'm Simone!
I love photography, travelling, foreign cultures, nature, unique places & people. I cherish the encounters you make while traveling, the small things in live and I admire the beauty of unique moments. I am an outdoor girl and really into Yoga and delicious food.
Trying the new stimulates me and that’s likely one of the reasons why I lived abroad and changed my profession from International Hospitality Management to Business Studies and Marketing afterwards. Eventually becoming a freelance Marketing Consultant.
Elsa + Fock brings the great opportunity to combine the small things that make a difference in our life and it revives my creativity. I started to learn all the secrets about mixing soy wax and aromatic oils and how to turn those ingredients into scented candles and room scents of places we visited. Places we liked a lot and which are still reverberating and echoing in our heads. And I cannot wait for all the new experiences to come.
And this is wilson...
... a 24-year-old VW California Camper Van. Coincidently I am from Düsseldorf, Germany as well where my first owner registered me in September of 1992. Since then I have had three owners who took really good care of me.
I am a decent old boy and my age shows a little bit but overall I am in great shape. I am laid back, frugal and reliable. Until now I ran 320.000 km through different country sites and cities and saw quite some places.
I am with Simone and Joerg for a year now and I am definitely ready for new and exciting adventures with my peeps.
