Some days, everything works.

The mics behave.
The ideas sync.
The printer doesn’t jam.

Someone starts a line,
someone else finishes it.

Theo plays one chord
and Ava knows exactly what beat to lay down.
Kate hums a melody
Julian already has in his hands.

The songs don’t get written.
They arrive.

No doubt.
No deadlines.
Just movement.
Just spark.
Just music pouring through minds
that are, finally, ready.

Not grasping.
Not grinding.

Just—
ready.

Like a pen on a clean page.
Like breath before a leap.

They are the vessel, the fire, the flame—
and every verse lights clean.

It’s the feeling just before the curtain rises.
Just before the dream remembers it’s a dream.

This is Test 8.
And they are ready.

...so very ready.

Song: Ready

Your pens are sharpened, your desk so clean
Your office quiet, a creative sheen
Your notes are here, your goals are near
With everything in place, there's nothing to fear

Get ready! Get ready!
You're ready! You're ready!
You're absolutely ready!
To create something big
To fulfill your dreams

The stage is yours, the pen in hand
It's time to play, to make your stand
With every step, you pave your way
Into a brighter, bolder day

Get ready! Get ready!
You're ready! You're ready!
You're absolutely ready!
To create something big
To fulfill your dreams

The time is now, the world is vast
The future's bright, let go of the past
You're the captain of your fate
With every dream, you create

Get ready! Get ready!
You're ready! You're ready!
You're absolutely ready!
To create something big
To fulfill your dreams

You're ready now, to light the spark
To chase the dreams, and make your mark
With dreams in hand, hope in sight
You're ready now, to take the flight

----

That is the last note they remember writing.

The next one...
is already waiting.

This concludes Act I.

If you're listening at home —
this is a good time to pause.

Stretch your legs.
Hydrate.
Take a walk through a world that doesn’t rhyme.

But come back.

The next part 
is anxiously expecting you.

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

Hi, I’m Volker – or "docredder"/"redder" when it comes to music. My journey into sound started early: as a child I sang Bach in a boys’ church choir, and that’s when I discovered how music can feel like both mathematics and magic at the same time. Later in life, I studied science and technology, but music has always stayed with me, as a way to process emotions, ideas, and imagination.
I’m not a virtuoso on any instrument, just a little guitar and some keyboard, but that never stopped me. For me, music is not about technical perfection, it’s about creating moods, telling small stories, and experimenting with sounds. That’s why I produce everything myself: the writing, the arrangements, the vocals, the mixing, and even the cover artwork. It’s a DIY approach, but it allows me to keep every piece authentic.
My influences are eclectic. I’ve always admired the timeless soundscapes of Pink Floyd and Genesis, the storytelling of Supertramp, the bold arrangements of Yes, Electric Light Orchestra and Muse, and the free spirit of Miles Davis. From progressive rock and indie pop to touches of jazz, funk, or ambient - I enjoy blending different textures until something new emerges.
Over the past years I’ve released a wide range of tracks, from introspective ballads like "Lament of the Last Generation" and "The End of Our Human Days" to playful experiments such as "Anna Sutter" or "Das Sein im Tinder-Schein". Some songs are melancholic, others ironic, some are inspired by literature, history, or science fiction. What connects them all is that they come straight from the heart - and from curiosity.
Every song is a little adventure for me. Sometimes it begins with a lyric, sometimes with a guitar loop, sometimes just with a feeling. I use simple tools like GarageBand, samples, my own voice and AI voices, but I try to arrange and transform them in ways that keep the listener surprised. My hope is that, even if just for a few minutes, the music opens a window into a different perspective.
I’m grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or gives feedback. Music for me is about connection - and every play, every comment, every message makes this journey worthwhile. If you enjoy honest, handmade songs that mix styles and don’t always follow the rules, I’d love for you to join me on this path.
