Agree with Irina, the production values are of the highest standards, Jörg. Great sound production!

Very clever again, smart and greatly surprising in all the arranged parts...

A superb song and production values to match!

Oh yeah funky Jan Hammer style keys. Never give up, this is too good.

Such great players here. Love the rhythm section, solid bass...

DEEP DIVE

Emp3

Lyrics:

Ascending in unison.
Suspended from above.
A wrinkle in time. 
It’s the final design. 
They synchronize the love.  
Are we still human?
Zeros and ones.      


I see it all the time, no I don’t want to think about it.
Hear it all the time, there’s no need to laugh about it.
Life in the hive, on the ion rise, it’s a frivolous ride.     
See the sun shine visions to me.
Eye in mind, from the soul divine. 
Where we all reside. 
Up in the great divide. 
Diminished light. 
Where we’re hypnotized. 
So to the dark we’re tantalized.

Which to keep and which to lose
Which to save for a rainy day
Which to bury far away

Escape Control Delete (Gong) ft. Pablo Valotta Bass and Keys

I made a sound-driven animation (audio visualization) for this track, watch it here:

and subscribe to my youtube channel if you like it!

This is a dreamy piano-based track, with an impressionistic touch. It combines acoustic chamber music with synthesizers and electronic elements. Thanks for listening, my soundcloud friends!

Dripping Clouds Single

Dripping Clouds

Dripping Clouds (Audio Visualizer Video in description)

With no doubt this track is about one of the most extensive out of my works so far...

And I had many doubts that I would ever be able to create any music again - so many month before have indicated a huge loss of interest and creative imagination regarding music making and listening. Almost have been going to surrender, accepting that my lifelong approach and passion to music could be over...

But as you can see and hear: nothing's over yet.

Sometimes life's full of miracles... and even you have to be patient over a long time there is to be a watershed to reveal itself.
This occurance was like a "Handshake with the Divine" for me - all of a sudden but so dearly longed for. Like a solution in a desperate situation.

That's the "story" of this music track and the reason for its title.
And I wish you all a similar experience in whatever hopeless situation it may be...

... with something as a "Handshake with the Divine" figuratively.

Handshake with the Divine

YOU USED TO TAKE A BREAK
AND THAT WAS NOT A JOKE 
SITTING ON A CORN FLAKE
YOU SANG MORE THAN YOU SPOKE
WETHER ROCK OR BAROQUE 
MUSIC YOU USED TO MAKE 
CAN IT BE ALL IN SMOKE 
VANISHED FOR HEAVEN SAKE

YOU USED TO MOVE
AT YOUR OWN GROOVE
AND NOW YOU HAVE GO BACK THERE

C’MON MAN BREAK THE BRAKE 
MUSIC WILL NEVER STOP
A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE 
THAT STICKS UNTIL YOU DROP
AND A HIT OR A FLOP
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE 
JAZZ FUNK ROCK FOLK OR POP
A SONG IS ALL IT TAKES

YOU USED TO SOOTHE
BLUES WITH THE BLUES
NO WAY YOU WOULDN’T GO BACK THEN

WHEN MUSIC IS AT STAKE MAN THIS IS NOT A JOKE
NO USE TO BABBLE AND TALK A SONG IS ALL IT TAKES
YOU USED TO USE
LIFE AS A MUSE
ABEL YOU ARE TO GO BACK THERE

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins

You're invited to join Shade Structure on a late night walk. Half awake/Half asleep.

Lyrics:
Sleepwalking
In the city at night
Past the dive bars
And the neon buzz

I rarely take my heart out anymore
Sitting here
In my electric chair
Of my own design
Felling fine
Just passing time
Sleepwalking in the city at night
I hope that after my crash
They find my
Black box flight recorder
Of my dreams
So we can retrace
The themes
Of my demise
This could be my last song?
Hey friends
You know they're going to get your story wrong!

I've got the devil on the payroll
Walking around with half a soul
Selling what's left for parts
That's a good start
Walking past the dive bars
It's not a term of art
In the city at night
Sleepwalking in the city at night
Breathing rarefied air

I've got the devil on the payroll
We could light a fire
We could just stand back
And watch it burn
At nighttime no one is really your friend
Working with a halfway, sideways sense of zen
Sleepwalking in the city at night

Walking past the dive bars
24 hour  convenience store
Dodging the busses
Goddamn Uber
The homeless in the street
$12.99
Indian food
All you can eat
Sleepwalking
Friends
You know they're going to get your story wrong
Sleepwalking

Sleepwalking

Feel free to enjoy many original releases of mine, ranging from 2017-2021.
For all former releases visit my Old Main Profile via the link below.

Thank you for listening! And have a good time :-)
_____________________________________

Calaminus was a one-man-project from Düsseldorf/Germany, producing groove-orientated instrumental music with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Acid/Nu)Jazz, Groove and Rock/Pop, sometimes enriched by several influences of our Worlds' Music.
From 2009 - 2021, I created more than 200 original music tracks, released 5 albums and actively colaborated with some fine musicians here.

In 2021, I decided to end this project after all these years due to the lack of general interest in my music and my own personal interest in music at all.
