Into The Black (Spring '23)

Lost

Frank Ocean - Lost

"She showed a picture of a baby cryin', his eyes were like mine..."
The other day I heard someone play this tune on their boombox.
To be honest, in earlier days I wasn't much of a fan. 
But if you think about it, it's a great song telling a dramatic story. So I gave it a try, and quickly fell in love with it. Hope you do as well!
Asked my friend Andi if he cared to collaborate. He sent a very short but nevertheless great guitar lick (you can also hear his feet tapping along; that's what you get from recording with your smartphone, but it fits in just perfect!). Unfortunately he was too busy to do more, so I had to do the rest of it myself.

As always: don't hesitate to comment and like the song, if you do.

Update: did some fine adjustments to the mix in October 2024

Billie Jean (10-2024)

Back in the Nineties, when MTV was still rising fast here in Europe, Cyndi Lauper was playing in endless loops. And although then my musical tastes were more on the heavier side, I really loved to watch her videos again and again. From all her recordings (then backed by The Hooters) I mostly kept the "Time After Time" in my musical memory. Here we go. 
Arranged and recorded between December 2023 and August 2024

Updated / remixed October 2024

Time After Time (08-24)

mans first inhibition (brainbow flip)

Just in time, before the end of 2024 here's my take on one of my favourite tracks of the late 90ies, from one of my favourite bands of that era. There was a time when Depeche Mode's "Ultra" only left my CD player to be taken to my car, and then be played again.
Enjoy, and don't hesitate to "Like" and distribute. Cheers!

Its No Good (XMas-2024)

I always wanted to honour one of my early youth's heroes, Marc Bolan. But never could decide on the one song out of his huge catalogue that would really fit me. Then, the other day I heard "Life's a Gas" playing from a random playlist, and I knew this had to be it! Enjoy like I do

Life's a Gas

BASS LMNT is a home studio project, but also a band I'm playing with, together with a bunch of long-time friends.

I mostly play bass and guitar, and if I concentrate well enough I find the right keys on a piano. But my main instrument is my voice: I just love singing all day long; chances are I'm also singing in my sleep, but I'm not sure about that. I'm also a member of a classical choir, but that's a different story. 

I love to re-arrange songs, mostly end up with down-tempo variations. In my earlier days I also wrote a few songs of my own back in time when I played Punk and Rock with The Welcome Idiots (https://soundcloud.com/welcomeidiot) but then I decided that others have more talent in that area. Nevertheless, you can find 2 of my songs here. Totally re-arranged and slowed down, of course. 

Currently I collected my songs in 2 playlists "Going Nowhere" (https://soundcloud.com/elem089/sets/going-nowhere) and a 2nd one "All Directions" (https://soundcloud.com/elem089/sets/all-directions). A 3rd list is a collection of songs arranged for the band, to be played live at Munich's repeating SOS ("Same Old Song") event. Check out a few video clips on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrbA_XQ5bd0De1M33UjCzC1_T03cokZg5.
