    New single “Floating” released today

    Oh, yes! 🤩🤩 Today I am releasing the single “Floating” of my album “Always Trust The Machines, Pt. 1”. This track marks a turning point for me, going from rather heavy, industrialish music to deep, downtempo electronica. A bass-heavy, moving and morphing pad is filling the room, a laid back rhythm provides structure for vocal…

    Goattracker and SIDplayFP on Macbook 2008 Unibody MX Linux

    “Will my old Macbook 2008 Unibody still go strong today?” Straight forward answer: Yes, it will!I decided to get out my old Macbook and install a dual-boot Linux distro on it (MX Linux 23) because I wanted a better screen for my Goattracker machine… Well, that might not be everybody’s use case, but for me…

    I started a while ago, to use my WordPress blog to give further information on my musical projects to followers of my social media profiles by linking from my Instagram bio to the category “Music” of my blog. Well, this was ok, but in the end, I was not overwhelmed by the user experience, this…

  • Ans Licht

    Today is a very special day, as not only my album Meanders has been released, I am also very proud to announce my collaboration with Kay Emmess! I did an Edit of his brilliant song “Ans Licht” (“To the light”) that drove the catchy melodic lines to an eternal trance hype phase. Check out Kay…

  • Two track “We Stumble EP” has been released

    Digging deeper, this time. The multiple times restructured, mutated and re-compiled voice sample builds a strong and intimate basis for the post-acid, psychedelic musical outburst. The lyrics evolve by reusing single words and rearranging them to give the original statement new and different meaning: They were told that it wouldn’t hurt, I proved them wrong.I…

  • New track “See The Stars” out now!

    I recently bought this little drum machine beast, the Korg Volca Drum. I really enjoy jamming around with it, as it delivers deep sound creation functionality together with an easy comprehensible, Korg-Electribe-style sequencer. So why not create a complete track from the 6-pattern device, I thought? Four patterns for the drums and percussions and two…

    In den Herbstferien waren wir ein paar Tage am Bodensee unterwegs. Ausgehend von Überlingen besuchten wir auch Konstanz und Lindau, unten ein paar Impressionen. Im Herbst ist die Region definitiv einen Besuch wert! P.S.: Absoluter Café-Tipp für Lindau: 37 Grad, aktueller auf Facebook.
