J'étais chez moi, dans mon appartement, quand j'ai entendu la fanfare.  Je suis sorti sur mon balcon, rue Dorion, avec mon enregistreuse, et j'ai pesé sur "record".

L'enregistreuse est une Zoom H4n.  Les seules modifications au son que j'ai effectuées sont les fade-ins and fade-outs, et un normalisation à -0.5 dB.

Amusez vous.

Have fun.

Fanfare Portuguaise sur Dorion (2009)

Most people write a love song about what they need from someone. This is a song about love. This is a real love song.

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you

I can’t see you, but I feel you
I can’t see you, but I feel you
I can’t see you, but I feel you

Life is pointless without you
Life is pointless without you
Life is pointless without you

Won’t take you for granted
Won’t take you for granted
Won’t take you for granted

I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance
I need another chance

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
to live
to live

I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you
I can’t help it, I need you

All I Need

Honeymoon with Nic Evennett (Del Rey cover)

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.
