The earth breathes thin, a gasping sigh,
A landscape scorched beneath the sky.
The ravens keen, black tatters fly,
Witnessing what fire passed by.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
A fading whisper, by our side.

Where are the hands that sowed the grain?
The melodies that eased the pain?
Only an echo, lost to rain,
A fading whisper, all in vain.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

They trace the ash, a gentle gleam,
A beauty lingering in a dream.
In every blade, a hopeful stream,
A promise, stronger than it seems.
For endings hold a tender seed,
A quiet rising, to succeed.
Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

Oh, the silence where the laughter died,
A broken dream, a world denied.
Yet in the dust, where spirits hide,
An angel whispers, by our side.

So pure, this breath, though barely known,
By God's own grace, forever sown.

electronic music and keyboard player. 🌟 From an early age, I grew up in the world of sounds, and my heart always beat to the rhythm of rock and roll. Today I create songs in trance and techno styles, exploring the endless possibilities of synthesizers. My favorite instruments are: Yamaha MODX8 - a powerful synthesizer that opens the door to countless sounds. Roland Gaia 2 – perfect for creative experiments. Bass Station – giving my songs depth and character. I invite you to follow my musical journey! 🎶✨ #ElectronicMusic #Trance #Techno #Keyboardist #YamahaMODX8 #RolandGaia2 #BassStation

When i'm not playing video games....
...i listen to and create Music.
I get into everything: Abba to Zappa...Grindcore to Gershwin...Nine Inch Nails to Nina Simone...Mike Oldfield to My Bloody Valentine to Miles Davis
  I LIKE MUSIC....composing and listening   😎
For the record: I am a keyboardist and sometimes drummer. About 90% of  the keyboard work is me actually playing a Yamaha Midi keyboard. Now you know...

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

Hi, I’m Volker – or "docredder"/"redder" when it comes to music. My journey into sound started early: as a child I sang Bach in a boys’ church choir, and that’s when I discovered how music can feel like both mathematics and magic at the same time. Later in life, I studied science and technology, but music has always stayed with me, as a way to process emotions, ideas, and imagination.
I’m not a virtuoso on any instrument, just a little guitar and some keyboard, but that never stopped me. For me, music is not about technical perfection, it’s about creating moods, telling small stories, and experimenting with sounds. That’s why I produce everything myself: the writing, the arrangements, the vocals, the mixing, and even the cover artwork. It’s a DIY approach, but it allows me to keep every piece authentic.
My influences are eclectic. I’ve always admired the timeless soundscapes of Pink Floyd and Genesis, the storytelling of Supertramp, the bold arrangements of Yes, Electric Light Orchestra and Muse, and the free spirit of Miles Davis. From progressive rock and indie pop to touches of jazz, funk, or ambient - I enjoy blending different textures until something new emerges.
Over the past years I’ve released a wide range of tracks, from introspective ballads like "Lament of the Last Generation" and "The End of Our Human Days" to playful experiments such as "Anna Sutter" or "Das Sein im Tinder-Schein". Some songs are melancholic, others ironic, some are inspired by literature, history, or science fiction. What connects them all is that they come straight from the heart - and from curiosity.
Every song is a little adventure for me. Sometimes it begins with a lyric, sometimes with a guitar loop, sometimes just with a feeling. I use simple tools like GarageBand, samples, my own voice and AI voices, but I try to arrange and transform them in ways that keep the listener surprised. My hope is that, even if just for a few minutes, the music opens a window into a different perspective.
I’m grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or gives feedback. Music for me is about connection - and every play, every comment, every message makes this journey worthwhile. If you enjoy honest, handmade songs that mix styles and don’t always follow the rules, I’d love for you to join me on this path.

Ein- bis zweimal pro Monat reden hier zwei Klugscheißer (und manchmal auch alleine mit der KI oder mit Gästen), über Bremer und bundesrepublikanische Politik, und dokumentieren, wie wir unseren Alltag durch vermehrte Nutzung künstlicher Intelligenz versuchen zu verbessern. Und „was macht eigentlich die Politik?“ ist einer der roten Fäden, die sich durch diesen, nicht immer politisch-korrekten, Podcast durchziehen.

Welcome to my world of sound! ✨
As a musician with a passion for the versatile sounds of the 70s and 80s and the limitless magic of synthesizers, I combine electronic beats with elements of rock, pop and alternative into the present day.

My music is a journey through emotions, energy and atmosphere - perfect for switching off, empathizing or just listening.

Inspired by timeless sounds and modern beats, I invite you to discover my tracks and immerse yourself in the world of music with me.

👉 Follow me and enjoy the journey!
