Little Did I Know

The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.

My music career began at the age of 6 when I received a guitar from my parents. I learned two chords and formed my first band. Our equipment was a puppet piano, two washing drums and a guitar. Between the ages of 12 and 15 I played in several bands with friends. Big role models were Jimi Hendrix, Doors, Janis Joplin, Alwin Lee etc. I was mainly influenced by Krautrock bans like Can, Groschnitt and Eloy. In the meantime I was able to improvise a few barre chords, mainly using the blues scale. But practicing was never my thing. So I automatically only progressed a step further when I liked a new riff. Music has always been an integral part of my work with children and people with disabilities. In 1990 I founded the band “Kroklowafzi” with friends, and later I played in the “Karl Grass Companie” purely for the joy of music, without any professional ambitions (audio samples are available on YouTube on my SoundCloud channel). During this time I had the opportunity to record my music in multiple tracks for the first time. Everything was still very amateurish and chaotic. After a divorce, I ended up on the streets and went into a psychotic episode. I now had 6 children to support but couldn't work. During this time, my brother gave me a music program that I could use to remaster my recordings from the last few years.

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.

Live sounds..Spirit filled music from the kids of the street

Dadaistic music since 1904! 
Somehow I wanted to post my old, "chaotic" or fallen out of style recordings here, but within the last year I got the taste again and produce new stuff as Dr. Zwakkus.

I don't see sense in nonsense but I see nonsense in things that a lot of people call sense.

I did a lot of music in my life. Did Hardrock, Metal, Psychedelic-Rock, Swing, Jazz, Latin, Dance Music, modern and so called post-modern classic, even playback gigs and did some little film scores also. Everything that either brought some money in the pocket or gave some fun.

I have not studied music, either the conservatories did not want me or, in the other case, I didn't wanted them.
The Zwakkus project was for a long time a kind of discharge of frustration or a valve to let "it" simply flow, without caring about what some client or bandleader will think about. 
It then took me a little time to realize that this project is really unique and true to me and that I can't be this free anywhere. So I'm giving more energy into it and I'm having really fun with it. Knowing that this can't be everyones style, I am extremely grateful for everyone who can get involved!
Also I am very thankful for finding so much really authentic, inspiring and original stuff here on SC.

AI? Can go home!
