Excerpt from the first half of a private ambient performance on the 15th of August in Lingenfeld, Germany...

Ambient Performance Part 1 Excerpt

Peace Drone is a drone piece ;-) which I have composed and produced specifically for an event called "Musicians for Peace" which I have been invited to recently...

That each of us as individuals, humanitiy as a collective and Earth as our home which sustains all of nature and all cultures need peace - and need it soon and desperately - seems such a commonplace that I find it almost redundant to even mention it.

It * should * be redundant, but apparently, most of us (including myself) have not learned the lesson yet - so it needs to be repeated over over again, until we all have become peaceful from our hearts.

There's a wonderful poem by Peter Sinfield (...song lyrics, actually, from the opening and closing song of King Crimson's 1970 album "In the Wake of Poseidon") which I like to quote (I couldn't find better words anyway...):

I am the ocean
Lit by the flame
I am the mountain
Peace is my name

I am the river
Touched by the wind
I am the story
I never end

...

Peace is a word
Of the sea and the wind.
Peace is a bird who sings
As you smile.
Peace is the love
Of a foe as a friend;
Peace is the love you bring
To a child

Searching for me
You look everywhere,
Except beside you.
Searching for you
You look everywhere,
But not inside you.

Peace is a stream
From the heart of a man;
Peace is a man, whose breadth
Is the dawn.
Peace is a dawn
On a day without end;
Peace is the end, like death
Of the war.

(from, "Peace - A Beginning" and "Peace - An End", words by Peter Sinfield, 1971)

ALL THE PIECES FIT FOREVER Excerpt

THE FINAL PRAYER

"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them..."

I recorded this meditative and immersive long track in one go during a spontaneous studio session (acutally, I was testing a new soundset) on Pentecost Sunday morning, 2015.

The track has some (minor) recording flaws, a different (and probably better) version might appear on an album, one day... 


Pentecost - The Red Lamb

Completely unplanned track that materialised on a late summer evening. Probably it's shoegaze...

A Short Dream In The Sun

This is a preview medley of my new album, 100 Million Miles Under The Stars, released on SynGate in June 2012. It's my 100th solo album in total, and my first "proper" label release at the same time...

(http://www.syngate.biz/epages/15513652.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath)

The idea is that this medley will give interested listeners a better idea of the album than the rather short clips that can be previewed at SynGate's webshop, and MusicZeit Download page.

I also added a few comments and descriptions to give You an even better idea. 
Unfortunately, I don't have exactly an actor's voice, and I guess also my English pronounciation could be better. ;-)

For those who can't understand my mumbles (...but is interested in my description), You can read it here:

Hi!

My name is Michael Brückner and I'd like to introduce You to my new album "100 Million Miles Under The Stars", that just has been released on SynGate Records.

The first track, called "Memo for Nemo Part 1" leads into the album by slowly building a calm, mystical and perhaps slightly melancholic atmosphere...

The second track, "Memo for Nemo Part 2" is more upbeat and adds driving sequences, and melodies to the atmosphere of Part 1.

In track three, "Cycle of Fire", the mood changes to something more lighthearted and positive, featuring some ethnic beats.

Next comes "Paradox Planet", starting with a long atmospheric introduction that evokes images of the deep sea, which later subsides into a friendly and playful sequence.

Next station is "Monokosmos", which starts as an extend, mystical ambient soundscape that later is joined by another sequence, this time without changing the tracks basic atmosphere.

Then, on "Waves Are Chasing The Wind", the wonderful flute player Hans-Dieter Schmidt (http://www.imaginary-landscape.de/) joins me and contributes a great performance on various flutes and flute synthesizers, over a backing that again devellops from a calmer mood to more rhythmic drive...

Finally, the album closes with the title track, starting with omnious noises and soundscapes. These subside into a solemn, richer orchestrated ambient part, until some more sequencing comes in, before the album calms down to a quiet ending, again enhanced by some gentle flute playing (...not by Hans-Dieter this time, though).

I hope You enjoyed this medley and it gave You an idea of "100 Million Miles Under The Stars".

Thank You very much for Your attention, 
and good-bye for now...

100 Million Miles Under The Stars - Medley

This is a riddle - what exactly do You hear...? Tell me Your ideas! :-)

Re Zisaz Loohs

Welcome :-)

I'm an ambient musician, composer and producer from southwest Germany.
I started to produce music somewhen in the early 90ies, and up until now count more than 90 full-time albums (self-published as CD-Rs with stylish art work...) and a huge amount of music in digital formats...

My main focus is ambient, soundscapes and sometimes also retro space music (especially the teutonic variety, known as "Berlin School") but I stray also in neighbouring styles (dance, drum'n'bass, new age - and all such stuff...), and even pop, jazz and rock at times.

This space here, however, is reserved to my ambient work.

Please note:
I'm NOT a die-hard SoundCloud user - my main point in using this service is the possibility to share my music via the embedable players.
So communication via this lane is of smaller priority to me (I beg Your pardon - but if I tell You that I have a daytime job, a family to sustain and several older internet presences to maintain, hopefully You can understand...).

If You're seriously want to get in touch with me (I'm not against getting in touch with people as such... ;-) please contact me via Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/bruecknerAmbient

(Unless You have a serious Facebook allergy - in that case, hopefully we'll find some other way...).

Thank You for Your attention :-)

Peace + good wishes,
Michael
