♫ Laboratorium is a second profile of a well-known German experimental band (showing their group improvised music, working under a different flag)

This site is mainly about film music & improvised music. 


Trotor (duo improvisation)

My music pieces are all piano improvisations expressing emotions. It is music telling stories without the words. In my earIy years I sang and played piano in piano bars or fronted bands of different styles, from country to heavy metal and to 40. I've been composing, teaching and performing most of my life.  I'm getting old(er) now 😔 but the great thing about creating music is it gets better the longer you play, and you have more to write about! 

This is what I leave of me to my generations to come who wonder where their desire to make music comes from. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My son is also exceptional.  My great grandmother and gr grandfather sang and danced in minstrel shows (vaudeville) in the early 1900's. Kids today have no idea what life was like before moving pictures.  I now have great-grandchildren. They will know who I am through my music. When I am gone my music will still be here. What a wonderful thought!

Good morning, you have found a repository of excerpts from the Portland Synth improvisers Collective play sessions. 
  We are a monthly gathering of synthesists who jam together in small ensembles over headphones.  Since we are open to all electronic musicians, you never know who you might play with, or where the spontaneous creations will go.
  Please enjoy these lightly edited pieces taken out of the longer free flowing recording.  
   

Versuchsanordnung: 
"It's our aim to paint images in your head!"


Versuchsanordnung (German for: experimental arrangement) stands for research on tones, molecular geometries of sound, destillates of incidental tonal sounds, be it in the form of compositions or pure improvisation.

Versuchsanordnung create sound impressions full of atmosphere aiming to paint pictures in your head. Versuchsanordnung also compose film scores when getting commissioned (they already did music for 3 films).

Versuchsanordnung is experimenting with unlikely forms of compositions and is a quite well-known unit for group-improvised music.

Versuchsanordnung has been in existance since 2006. 

------------------------------------------

Status (May 2019):
At this point, Versuchsanordnung is working on another CD, composing & arranging new pieces. This is a slow process, cause the members live in different cities and don't rehearse.

Despite of this, Versuchsanordnung are available for concerts as a unit for free-improvised music (working as "Laboratorium") until recordings are finished (Guest musicians are welcome).
