vielleicht etwas zu viel Lärm? Die thematische Linie geht eher unter.

die Klangspuren passen so nicht, Frank. Die Großartigkeit eines musikalischen Moments geht eher in einem Getöse unter als dass sie sich zu Erhabenheit bewegt

Wow ! So much energy and melodic at the same time. Great piece Frank !

kraftfolle power musik -sehr gute production

This is beautiful... (I think I'm partial to pieces that have a lot of piano)!

Bombastisch, in der Mitte genau die richtige Menge Brimborium!

Solitude

This is a song created by the very talented and revered Karin-Maria Brunner, to which she was kind enough to ask me to contribute. She sent me the beat, the bass line, and the chords and said, "verrückt werden!" So nuts I did go! She wanted something that on which I used a synthesizer, of which I loved the idea. 
  The song appears on her album Synthastic, which also includes some other really top ace musicians, including some of my personal favorites, like Frans Beelaard. Thus, I'm very honored and proud to not only be among musicians of that ilk, but to have been asked by Karin-Maria to participate in the first place. 
  You can find my other song, Magic Hour, along with those of the other seven collaborators among the other seventeen songs on the album on literally every streaming service available. So, next time you're listening somewhere other than the Cloud, please take at least a few minutes and check it out. Better yet, put it on your headphones next time you play your favorite video game!

BUT with the same instruments 😁

Concerto per pianoforte e numero d'orchestra 1 g minore | op. 2 (revisited)

It seems we see an endless cycle throughout history of one country or race or people deciding they are superior to all others and so justify the invasion, suppression slaughter of anything else only to disappear themselves into dust in short periods of time. No one has proved very supreme ever and probably never will because nobody is in the first place

lyrics
feeling low feeling sad
just don't sit there being mad
come on in and play this game
it's called supremacy
it will light up your day
doesn't take much to be supreme
I'll tell you the secret just listen to me
just close your eyes 
just shut your ears
let a selfish leader come and feed your fears

learn how to hate those you don't know
they can't be that smart if they wear those clothes
their food smells funny their language is weird
their kids are too dirty don't let them come near

they worship God with songs and dances
not like us with candles and incense
so how holy could they possibly be
we must defend our faith you see

one thing is obvious
supremacy is fleeting
lasts only long enough till the next one comes calling
saying the same things the one before said
then like mindless sheep we follow them down
the same old worn out path
and then we're surprised when we get to the end
that nothing has changed at all my friend

the simplicity of supremacy

Thank you to everyone who listened to this track.
Morning comes, the sun rises, the moon changes roles.
The stars continue to shine, but are hidden. 
Waiting for the night sky to open. 
The life of the universe continues infinitely, and you will always have a happy time watching the stories of the stars!

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus

Music composed and produced by IRMINSUL for Canadian modern dancer Dorothy Saykaly's piece "PAINTED". A traditional orchestral approach underscoring the otherworldly movements and dynamic body themes of PAINTED. The arcane meets the industrial, meets the timeless.

L'Aube des Royaumes - 1 - Allegretto in Am

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

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 😆

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

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.
