A lighthearted memory of a summer romance.

Smiling at Butterflies (Crackling Vinyl Version)

Take a step back every now and then and listen to a quiet thread weaving its way through the fabric of a bustling lifestyle .

Screams For Zen

The #Adrenalinn has been my favourite secret weapon for the guitar for years.
When I bought a Yamaha #Reface CS I thought, the Adrenalinn's sophisticated filter section might compliment the little synth (and the #Circuit, too).
Having set up everything, I felt inspired immediately and recorded this rough #jam.

Now, there's definitiely some potential in this combo. What do you think?

Circuitary Adrenalinn Resurrection (Take 1)

This is what happens when electronic Synths & an an archaic Oud meet.

Twin Souls Conversing

Sometimes you have to swallow a frog - and sometimes things don't progress as quickly as desired. That's what "Turtles in the Meantime" is all about, really.

Turtles in the Meantime

So Diamonds are Crazy? How about the meeting of two instruments, one made of organic wood, the other of synthetic sikicon and plastic?

Oudshots

The Coal and Tree Circuit

Just fooling around one fine morning with an acoustic guitar sent through a harmonizer at times and some weird synth sounds. All it took was a beat to underly everything, to pretend this is some kind of song.

Mechanical Birds over Spain

Inspired by this slightly off tune vibrating synth sound that reminded me of old tape recordings and films shot during beach holidays.

Sunny 70s Celluloid

Inspiration usually hits when you least expect it - and when you have a hundred  more urgent things to do than record an idea. I quicky jotted this one together anyway and added a touch of Oud to finish it off.

Silicon Storm in the Land of Longing

While exploring the sounds of my new Korg 05r/w I discovered this lovely "Sax Heaven" preset, which inspired me to some film noiresque improvisation immediately.

Finally installed the "Chiptune Dreams" pack by Yves BigCity on my Circuit and felt inspired immediately. Additional loop courtesy of a Yamaha Reface and finally some "Starburst" provided by a Korg 05r/w as the icing of the cake.

This is one improvised take with some editing (mostly cutting it down to a digestable length) in post production.

Refacing the Bursting Stars with Dreams of Tuned Chips

My Synthstrom Deluge is here. Time to explore new musical territories late at night, when the lights are low and the books are dreaming in the caves.

Dark Crown

Mostly Moodshots here (see Moodshot-Playlist for examples and explanation).

In another life also guitar player (from singer/songwriter to pop and rock), Dobro afficionado and keyboard rookie.
