siqmv [dat#1]

I met Sting In a Wimpys in 1993 and that's what inspired me to become The Techno mollusc.

 I split my time between pressing buttons and my partner; The Ghost of Micheal Jackson. He does love me.

Praise BoB.

AKA flimflamma. Long retired Firstcask wayfarer and vigorous couch potato. Nothing to plug here.

(Actually, I might still have a box of Mathieu Ha CDs somewhere in the attic if you're into accordions.)

(solo together with "Fragmental"/Thomas, doing the incredible visual artwork in this video; please excuse the horrible sound/video quality as it was filmed by a very dear old friend of mine, Kirsten, live with her old mobile...btw: thank you so much Kirsten, you're THE best... that's for sure!:)

- The "ARI covers" where all recorded in one session by with my dear friend Tolga Tolun at the Abbey Road Institute (Berlin) studios.

- The "Corona Diaries": all songs recorded live at home on my old shitty mobile phone  - some tracks with overdubs - by myself. All Tracks are 1st, 2nd or 3rd takes (the "good old Blues and Jazz-style", respectively I just read the Miles Davis autobiography for the second time, so that was a huge influence regarding the live and direct recording-approach of geniuses like Parker, Monk, Gillespie, B. Holiday, Django, Satchmo, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson...), so unfortunately there also a few heavy (mis-)takes included. ;)

- Past concerts: one of the last "real concert" (except some small/private "living room gigs" at home during the pandemic) that took place in 21.04.2017 was a solo gig with    my "looper" at Griessmühle at the "Restfaktische Postrealitaet"-Party as "Hans J. Brox & The Art of the Steel" together with my dear old friend and long time-live-companion "FRAGMENTAL", with whom I played a lot of gigs in the past and who did the incredible visuals on Kirsten's mobile-vid-recording mentioned earlier on YT...;)

- Other concerts in the past at:

 Hedo-Congress (many times with different musicians and at different locations),
 Camp Tipsy (several times; different locations), 
 Ritter Butzke (RR-Party; Berlin), 
 Storkower Str. (RR-Party; Berlin),
 Zielona Gora (several times; Berlin), 
 UdK ("Rundgang" at "Universität der Künste"/University of the Arts; Berlin), 
 Ausland (Berlin), 
 TÄT (Berlin),
 Fett de la Musique (Berlin),
 Hangar (Berlin),
 Grießmühle (RR-Party; Berlin)

This account is dedicated to my clumsy sound notes

Weird Trans Queer Electronic Artist Now in Detroit

These songs are now all under the moniker Gulliver. I don't adhere to any one specific style of music but I go back to the IDM/experimental sound a lot. I have been making music since 2001 and this account has stuff all the way back from then till now(though I lost over half my music pre-2009).

Eclectically manic electronic songs that are violently happy, cheerfully depressed and filled with haunted amusement parks, fun but seriously personal!
