Lucky you to have a cat bring you inspiration like this.

Nice piece Frank ! A fragrance of the seventies...

Well ain't this the cat's meow! Not just for ailurophiles.

Ailurophobia, what is it? Well, quite simply: the fear of cats! I am rather an outspoken cat lover. The other day a cat or a tomcat roamed through my garden. Only at second glance I recognized the cat: it was DISCO CAT. He pressed a cassette into my hand (he doesn't like CDs), grinned cheekily at me and then floated away on his Magna-Lev keyboard. I put the cassette into my Denon tape deck and played it. DISCO CAT really went all out, because what I got to hear was the track you're listening to right now!

He added a little letter in which he tells about his recent adventures. In the last paragraph he wrote that it almost came to a collision with a rabid cat-guy, somewhere out in Quadrant LV-14. He unfortunately could not remember the identification number of the space glider, but he noticed on the hull of the glider a symbol....it looked SO: 😼
I can pretty much imagine whose path he must have crossed there! For sure it was the rowdy Space Cat! DISCO CAT said that loud music could be heard from the junky spacecraft, but had to admit that it really didn't sound bad.  Well, it's true, the Space Cat's master sometimes makes quite audible music. I think his name is Rüdiger Miez or something like that 🤔

Anyway: have fun with this vintage vaporwave, retrowave, synthwave track 😁

PS: there are some more songs on the cassette DISCO CAT gave me. Maybe I upload soon as well? 😉

AILUROPHOBIA 😼

I need to take a break...

😮‍💨😔


When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

By the way: this user-92853963 was my old link address and leads to the empty.... I AM NOT A ROBOT!

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
