If you don't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klabautermann (Wikipedia)

"Klabauter" is my funky musical equivalence to this nerdy guy,
made for to funk your butt :-)

It's also the track for wishing you merry christmas & all the best for the new year.
Keep on hoaxing, funking, grooving like the "Klabautermann"!

Calaminus - Moon Tune

"LAT IN OUT" - Let it out in a funky latin way :-)

This tune is inspired by the awesome Michel Camilo bigband-latin-jazz album "One more once", released in the mid 90s - a superb work with all positive energy & latinized groove you can imagine! 
This album was always a big pleasure for me to listen (and dance) to,
so I hope you'll be enjoying (and dancing) to this track as well ;-)

Comments, feedback, reposts, likes and downloads are very much appreciated as always: Just "LAT IN OUT" ! :-)

LAT IN OUT

Well, here you are after the kind personal voting of three ideas for a new track of mine, the "winner" track GRO' WEE is finished for your "work out" ;-)!

Hope, you like it - especially those of you who voted for it  :-) 
Thank you so much for your kind participation: This one's for YOU!!!

So let small things grow in groovy surroundings = GRO' WEE ;-)
Your feedback, comments, like, faves, reposts, download & advice (and if it's yet that wee) grooves me with growin' thankfulness!!!

Enjoy & share good music, folks. Cause you want it ;-)

Carnaby Street Vol. 3

GRO' WEE

"Glimpse of Nice" is a smooth relaxed chilling tune with a downtempo groove that let you wip your feet...
A reflection of acoustic sweetness, instrumentated with soul.

Hope, you'll enjoy this tune & its mood.
- Dedicated to those, I can call friends -

Glimpse Of Nice

Probably one of the most complex tunes of the last months, 
"GIRATION" is an audible gyration, meandering with progress through a range of different genres - all combined to a groovy Jazz Fusion piece with ethnic influences.

Those of you who know my works won't be too much surprised, but hopefully inspired by listening...
The evolution of this track was very adventurous for me, because I only started with the vocal/choir loop you can hear quite often in this one & a jazzy groove. All the additions and changes/progressions into multiple genres were NOT planned! They just happened while jamming over many circular repetitions of parts & bars...
So I worked it out like going in circles and beyond.

That's why it's called "GIRATION" with "i" instead of "y" ;-)
That's the reason as well of presenting you a "beyond track" that would fit more into the "Quipmusic" releases so far on the Calaminus site: 
for your inspiration to be out of the ordinary!

Love all your comments, feedback, likes, reposts etc.
above the ordinary as well :-)
Enjoy the journey!


GIRATION

Good News: Calaminus' back to groove again!
After 5 weeks without any music making the funk got me finally and I felt it's "Time To GROOVE Again" :-)

Well, hope you'll enjoy this "comeback" tune - really appreciate if you do & tell me by comments, likes, reposts, downloads, head wobbling, feet tipping, dancing...
whatever you feel or do is good and groovy ;-)

This track's also a dedication to all my caring friends here at SC - those you encouraged & motivated me to come back:

Dan, Jamie, Akis, Dave Listwa, Ba2, Lolo, Florian, the guys of "Funkgression", Roy Smith, JJ (aka BIT s), Kevin McCuistion..

THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me the feeling to be not alone. Your respect and sympathy means a lot to me, helped a lot & will always be given back to you, my friends!

Cheers,
Jörg

Recently, https://soundcloud.com/tota-ueno released a video with this song in the background on Youtube: https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FdpjQrQv4cJk
It's about his project of solar aviation... so it's "Time to FLY Again" as well ;-)

Time To Groove Again *CALAMINUS is BACK!*

This is BUHAY and you better catch it
before it catches you :-)

For another time the fun(k) caught me as well with this playful groovy tune, almost zappaesque in moments...
It's also not the most typical Calaminus funky track, cause I tried to involve more hooks, chops, hits, little spanks of nasty little things & surprises than usual. So it's not a theme-orientated work, but one for the funk of it - the nitty-gritty :-)

So happy to be back with music - hope you'll share my happiness & enjoy this catchy tune as I enjoyed playing it!
And thanks so much for all your warm & hearted "Welcome back" greetings I've received in the last days.
It's uplifting & a  real pleasure to be here!!!

Buhay (or You Better Catch It!)

This piece is the extended version of a steady instrumental track that I released originally in 2013. It was planned to be involved in the "To Another Place" album, but then outtaken.

But due to its potentials, I overworked & extended it for this release.

Hope, you'll enjoy! As always, any comments, reposts, likes, downloads etc are really appreciated - straight or unstraight ;-)

Oh btw, the tracks artwork show the "media towers" in Düsseldorf, Germany (my city of birth). They are as well straight unstraight!

StraightUnStraight

If you are quite regularly following Calaminus and my music works released here, you might have recognized that these tunes don't sound as if one person has made them.

That's true: Calaminus is still a one-man-band project, all things are made on my own : the playing of all instruments, composition, arrangement, mix, mastering, cover artworks, the reply comments on a track... everything :-))

And that's my commitment for the future as well: everything track will be done on my own, cause it's "My Own Thing".
So I made this instrumental piece, quite complex, not "only" jazzy or funky, more a combination of genres (again).
Just to remind myself of what I'm doing and for givin' you more personality & reliabilty within my music ;-)

However it will sound like, it's always Calaminus :-)
No music for the masses, but reliable individual!

Enjoy this "trip", explore yourself with the music...
Would be a great pleasure, if you share your joy with me:
comments, feedback, likes, reposts, downloads are graciously appreciated!

And don't forget to do your own thing - always!

----

Due to the suggestions of my groovemate
https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind
I will release another version of this track on my Quipmusic profile asap :-)
You'll might want to check it out as well ;-) Stay tuned!

My Own Thing

Calaminus proudly presents: "GET GOING TOGETHER"
featuring the outstanding & extraordinary Dan van den Berg
(aka https://soundcloud.com/danarchx )on guitar in the solo section.
Encouraged by https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind ,
I asked Dan to play a brand new guitar solo & he  graciously joined and provided me the best guitar performance I ever had in one of my works. Inspired by his spot I took my guitar to play the solo right after... 
So this collab with Dan is a rework of the previous  "Get Going" with a complete reworked solo section that is replaced by this version.

Thank you, Dan, for joining and really grading up the track with your superb solo! I love it, my friend!!

Please check out Dans ambitious and incredible skillful music works on his profile as well: https://soundcloud.com/danarchx  You will love it  - promised ;-)

We will love your appreciation by comments, feedback, likes, reposts, downloads and any joyul noises as well!
So let's get going together :-)

----
The tracks artwork is based on a painting titled "Friendship" ( http://www.wikiart.org/en/mikalojus-ciurlionis/friendship-1907 ) of the not so famous lithunian composer & painter M. Ciurlionis ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikalojus_Konstantinas_%C4%8Ciurlionis ). That remarkable equivalence is quite fitting for this collab.
The original painting from 1907 is now public domain.
Hope, you'll enjoy it, too :-)

Get Going Together - feat. Dan van den Berg on guitar

Each of us are familiar with these moments in life that are darker than others. The ones we worry...
about situations or circumstances in our lifes,
about health, monetary things, the environment or even other people...
All & everything's possible to fit in for sorrows and moans.
And mostly that's alright: we should take our time to worry to feel happiness again :-) There's no light without darkness.
But without any light, the darkness surrounds us completely.

This track wants to be the light (at least the one at the end of the tunnel ), taking your sorrows & worries seriously to heart. "No Lamentation" isn't only a happy tune (like "Don't worry, be happy") - it has its darker sides as well. Musically it's much nearer to Adam Holzman & the Brave New Worlds'
"optimistic music in the age of fear" ;-)
That's why you can see my track as a slight dedication to Adam and his great funk-driven fusion band.
 
Don't lament too much even you feel worried.
And keep your head up :-) Just to notice the groove of life here and there...sometimes...

All the best & hearted cheers,
Calaminus

I've chosen it cause it can be seen as a jump of joy or a lament kneefall at the same time...
More than fitting in the context, I think ;-)

No Lamentation (for all who worry)

Proudly presenting you  "Roads" 
with the tasty bliss of New Canaan's 
most appealing and prolific musician
Jamie Rhind ( https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind )
on his splendid keys.

It's the first track - of hopefully many works in the future - Jamie and I created together on a tune of Calaminus. So this is a special pleasure and honour as well for me.
Previously we had some attractive collabs on tunes of Jamie and a few other great tracks, that I can warmly recommend to you...
I'm more than pleased & thankful, that Jamie joined ... with Rhodes ;-)

We headed with Jamie, then going into some call & response over the tasty bass line - Jamies rhodes first on the left, my rhodes on the right after. Following to the hymnic theme (with some wonderful accompaniments of Jamie using a choir/french horn-layered pad), we both solo on our "Roads" with our rhodes. The finish is like cruising into the warm sunset...

We hope, you'll enjoy cruisin' with us on these "Roads" :-)
As we enjoyed playing together for you...

If you do, spread the word, like, repost, downlaod, comment the track and give Jamie all your ears & appreciation...
And don't hesitate to explore more of his jazzy goodness at 
https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind  

Have fun(k) :-))

"Since we've met"...
five years ago, many sounds & music happened here on SoundCloud until now.
And the people behind the music I've been able to "meet" & stay tuned with of course as well. 
Some are gone, some are still active here...
I am, too! And I will be.

5 years being Calaminus on Soundcloud is quite a long time and from my side I will stay longer.  Even if the listeners, the feedback decreases - I love to keep being musically woven with you - those who know that & those who want to find out what this means ;-)

Every kind of (constructive) feedback, like, repost, download will increase my pleasure much beyond/over the past years.
And even I'm sometimes not sooo active in the exchange of feedback etc, you can be aware of one thing:
I will keep being all ears & give you appreciation once - not only with my music ;-) Promised!

You can join this anniversary tune with your own reflections.
On musical & personal relationships.
Cause that's what this tune is all about...

Since We've Met  (2011 - 2016)

After some more or less "experimental" tunes,
this one brings it on back: the funky side of Calaminus.

I carefully noticed in the last months that you want to listen to more groovy tracks of mine - so I "Bring it on back"...
No singing of mine this time, but I picked the guitar again for this one & concentrated on the uplifting moments.

Especially the uplifting moments were rare for me in the last weeks - so maybe this track can change that :-)
You are invited to join me by comments, likes, reposts, whatever you feel appropriate.
While I will try to spend more time on listening to your music as well - even my time will be very limited in the next weeks.
Hope you can apoligize if I miss any releases...

Groove on further,
Calaminus

--------------
Due to the release within Loungemasters "Carnaby Street Collection" in the next year, you can only download this track here until the end of March 2016. 
After that date, "Bring it on back" will be only available for download from the Loungemaster release in April 2017: https://soundcloud.com/lounge-masters/sets/carnaby-street-volume-8

Bring It On Back

Seaten your fastbelts & enjoy the flight :-))
We'll reach our destination in about 4 minutes...

With the organic splendidness of https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind and the funky groove of Calaminus you gonna fly high...

After all these dramatic events of the last days (Brussels, the passing of our musical friend Michel Martineau...) we'll need the uplifting positivity of the Funk more than usual. So Jamie & I joined again for to groove you up, give you some funky comfort these days.

This tune is a special easter egg for you as well, we hope you'll like it!

Happy Easter from both of us!

Funk 'n' Fly - Calaminus with Jamie Rhind (Easter Egg Collab)



This track has quite a (hi)story:

over one year ago it was planned as a collab of me & Rik (aka https://soundcloud.com/soulmetricsystem )from Eindhoven, Netherlands. Rik send me a great hook line on rhodes, sweet section horns & some additional rhythms and I developed a basic composition out of his fine material. The track had been never released.

Recently, I listened again to it and then asked Rik to overwork it & invite another fine musician to improve the second half of the tune:
must have been Julien Apelian ( https://soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 ) from Lyon, France for me - and he gladly joined with enthusiasm!
Julien is an extraordinaire french keysman & producer of a superb range of music - always professional and unselfish in his gorgeous collab works. We've teamed up a few times on his works, now it was about time to do that on a work of mine. His rhodes solo and the following outro synth solo are most pleasing for my ears - hope you'll give him full applause as well :-)

Without Rik & Julien, this piece would never have been released - so please give them your appreciation by listening to their fantastic music as well.
Thank you both, my friends!

If you enjoy our "Windows Upon", please comment, like, repost, dance, shout, share your pleasure with us & your friends. We love that!

After some weeks off, here's something BIG.
Related to BigBand themes of the 70s and to Bill Evans "Big Fun",
this track comes with big brass, empathy to the groove and a hot fusionesque middle section.

Hope you haven't forgotten me & the Calaminus music ;-)
If so, take this one as a smart reminder...

All feedback & shares are hugely welcome - as always!

Wishing you a tasteful and spicy-hot summer with this groovy track,
dear friends & followers on Soundcloud. 

Calaminus didn't fall asleep after eating a huge pizza (as you might guess from viewing the track artwork). I'm only doing a time eating job.. nothing with pizzas, but a lot with music.
The rare moments for music making have to be funky - so this tune is exactly that. Hope, you'll like the aroma :-)

Stay groovin' & funky, people!

Yours, 
Calaminus

"DRIFTING" is the first track of some fine collaborations you will have the chance to listen to in the next months.

The original track was posted as an Open Collab on my Repost Profile https://soundcloud.com/c-reposts. 
Matthias Andrä (https://soundcloud.com/tunesma), a musician friend of mine from Southern Germany, joined with pleasure, enthusiam and creative ideas. Thank you, Matthias!

We decided together to release our "Drifting" in two mixes,
so please visit Matthias profile and listen to his mix of "Drifting
cause it focusses on different flavours of our musical collaboration:
https://soundcloud.com/tunesma/calaminus-matthias-andrae-drifting-tunesma-mix

Every kind of feedback on both versions are very much appreciated...
and we love you're likes, reposts, downloads, shares and good mood comments - really :-) 

Now drift in your own way :-) We hope you enjyo this relaxed trip.

Matthias Mix is here!

Calaminus with Matthias Andrä - DRIFTING (Calaminus Mix)

You know that I'm a Jazz fan. The aesthetics of Jazz are based on a freedom of expression, intellectually and emotionally for me.
There is no right or wrong - there is only the here and now...

The excitement of its musical transfer always got me in various ways, so this track is about that:
I love "Dschäss" (phonetically spoken) - and that's to confess ;-)

I often mixed diverse genres/styles with jazzy spirits & funky grooves,
but I never drifted into Country Rock before. Now I did :-)

Hope you'll feel free and spirited through this tune. 
All "confessions" of yours are highly appreciated...

And now let's dschäss :-)

Dschäss

Dschäss (And That's to Confess)

Well, only days after the initial release of my "Stomping Ground" track 
(https://soundcloud.com/calaminus/stomping-ground-feat-calaminus-on-guitar), Matthias (https://soundcloud.com/tunesma) asked me to join with his fab keys work. He was pushed by the stompy groove of the track and had to jam along it immediately...
one of the finest compliments for a musician :-)

So he joined and we collaborated again with pleasure on our common grounds. He added a rhodes intro, a stompin' piano and even some vocal chops and keyed guitar licks - very appealing stuff at all!

You might wanna check his mix as well: https://soundcloud.com/tunesma/stomping-ground-calaminus-tunesma ,
cause as in our previous collab ( https://soundcloud.com/calaminus/sets/drifting-with-you ), we both have created separate mixes based on the same material. Just to give you the chance to explore the track with our individual auditory mixing impressions and expressions.
And this time, both "versions" differ more from each other...

A huge thanks for Matthias great work and efforts to enrich this tune.
Please give him some of the appreciation he deserves...
and enjoy our "Stomping Ground" :-)

Coming up (again) with a work from the last year, a kind of rhythmic tale with brazilian spices and jazzy moods: TimbALES.

While the initial version had less rhythm and some musical fissures,
this 2017 version includes two more solos & more musical closeness.

Hope you'll enjoy :-)

TimbALES

As all funky music stems from the afro-american blues origin - the work song - it was about time to choose some blues for another track of mine. 

Apart from the fact that music making is quite the opposite of slavery for me, all of my tunes are "work songs"... Usually I work on them days, sometimes even weeks, until they are finished and good enough for at least my ears to get released.

This track is developed over a longer period of time as well. There's no typical blues shuffle rhythm, but some funky swing. There's basically the typical 12-bars structure, but also a middle part exclusion of the blues scheme (almost drifting to latin music). There's another guitar solo of mine trying to keep reference on the origin blues, but going further, too. A special note for you regarding the slide part of the guitar solo is that I didn't use a glass or brass slide:
no, the slides are made with a trivial metal knife! :-)
Beside that, my slide technique isn't about that sophisticated - so just smile and enjoy :-)

Last but not least, there's also a slight country-esque touch in this track - never really intended to play (with) country music... but it evolved to be fine in comparison to the related musical material. So I dared it. 

All in all, the main importance for me is, that you enjoy it. As I enjoyed to play with styles and genres to make sense of them together...

Thank you for listening and your kind feedback in advance.

Choose Blues

What would you answer if asked about your musical DNA?

10 days ago, on 15th April 2017, one of the great infusers of Jazz Rock passed away at the young age of 70: Allan Holdsworth.
As a guitarist who always wanted to sound like a saxophon, he really didn't only play with a huge variety of Musicians reaching from (Jazz) Fusion to (Prog) Rock. No, he had an understanding of complex music of his own, influenced many many guitarists & was a renovator of Fusion just by the way over four decades...
he had his musical DNA!

This track of mine is a little hommage to Allan & the DNA of complex music. There's no sax playing (like Allan never played sax as well), there's no guitar solo with his legato intervallics leaps & even not that harmonic complexity he would have given a tune.
BUT: there are some relations nevertheless.

With a bit of NuJazz and a kind of typical Calaminus Fusion structure & instrumentation, variety is my personal DNA in this track.  I also dared to give this one some Drum&Bass influences, that's why this is called dnB. 

R.I.P. Allan Holdsworth

For all of you that give complex music an ear...

dnB  (for Allan Holdsworth)

"One after Another" marks multiple aspects of my music making:

- in the last years I used to work out one TRACK after another. Meanwhile there are more compositions than I could count...

- my basic workflow was about to work out one track after another as well - it's also one BAR after another, structurely spoken.

- and it's still going on...one STEP after another.

This track is about that - and some other aspects in my life that are also "One after Another"...

All the best - hope you'll enjoy listening,
Calaminus

One after Another

Calaminus is back again...with some vivid groove after a longer & very inspiring journey. I can tell you that I had many moving moments while being in the very north of Scotland. Beside the great hills and lochs there, this time the Atlantic Ocean (as you can see on the cover art) in all its colours really moved me.

So I tried to transform my feeling of relaxing tranquility and pleasing spiritedness into this piece of groovy music. Just to share these moving moments with you.

Really hope, you'll be moved and inspired as well...

All my best,
Calaminus
