Epic track! I imagine a story when I listen to this❣️

Das ist schrecklich! Und zwar schrecklich schön! ;o)  Ich glaube, diesen Kommentar hatte ich schon mal bei einem deiner Musikstücke abgesondert. Das Wort schrecklich in Verbindung mit schön ist ja ein Widerspruch in sich, aber als Steigerungsform legitim. Also, dann soll's so sein: Schrecklich schön ist das! Die zarten, unaufdringlichen Melodien, und dann der tieftönend-rhythmischen Synth im Mittelteil: Top!

Beautiful opening Frank. So balanced, full of something to come.

Legacy

No being can decay to nothing!
The eternal moves on in all,
In being keep you happy!
Being is eternal, because laws
Preserve the living treasures,
From which the universe is adorned.

The true was found long ago,
Has joined noble spirits;
The old true, touch it!
Owe it, son of earth, to the wise,
Who gave her to circle the sun,
And showed the sibling the path.

Immediately now turn inward,
The center you will find within,
Which no noble may doubt.
You will miss no rule there;
For the independent conscience
Is sun of thy moral day.

Then you have to trust your senses;
No wrong they let thee see,
If your mind keeps you awake.
With fresh eyes joyfully observe,
And walk safely as smoothly
Through meadows of richly gifted world.

Enjoy moderately filling and blessing;
Reason be everywhere present,
Where life rejoices in life.
Then past is constant,
The future ahead is alive,
The moment is eternity.

And at last thou hast succeeded,
And are you imbued with feeling:
What is fruitful, alone is true -
You test the general rule,
It will switch according to its way,
Join the smallest band.

And as of old, in silence,
A work of love according to his own will
The philosopher, the poet created,
So shalt thou obtain most fair favor:
For to prefigure noble souls
Is most desirable profession.

Vermächtnis

Kein Wesen kann zu Nichts zerfallen!
Das Ewige regt sich fort in allen,
Am Sein erhalte dich beglückt!
Das Sein ist ewig, denn Gesetze
Bewahren die lebendigen Schätze,
Aus welchen sich das All geschmückt.

Das Wahre war schon längst gefunden,
Hat edle Geisterschaft verbunden;
Das alte Wahre, faß es an!
Verdank es, Erdensohn, dem Weisen,
Der ihr, die Sonne zu umkreisen,
Und dem Geschwister wies die Bahn.

Sofort nun wende dich nach innen,
Das Zentrum findest du da drinnen,
Woran kein Edler zweifeln mag.
Wirst keine Regel da vermissen;
Denn das selbständige Gewissen
Ist Sonne deinem Sittentag.

Den Sinnen hast du dann zu trauen;
Kein Falsches lassen sie dich schauen,
Wenn dein Verstand dich wach erhält.
Mit frischem Blick bemerke freudig,
Und wandle sicher wie geschmeidig
Durch Auen reich begabter Welt.

Genieße mäßig Füll und Segen;
Vernunft sei überall zugegen,
Wo Leben sich des Lebens freut.
Dann ist Vergangenheit beständig,
Das Künftige voraus lebendig,
Der Augenblick ist Ewigkeit.

Und war es endlich dir gelungen,
Und bist du vom Gefühl durchdrungen:
Was fruchtbar ist, allein ist wahr —
Du prüfst das allgemeine Walten,
Es wird nach seiner Weise schalten,
Geselle dich zur kleinsten Schar.

Und wie von alters her, im Stillen,
Ein Liebewerk nach eignem Willen
Der Philosoph, der Dichter schuf,
So wirst du schönste Gunst erzielen:
Denn edlen Seelen vorzufühlen
Ist wünschenswertester Beruf.

Frei nach J. W. v. Goethe

As already mentioned, there seems to be a problem at SC. Comments no longer appear under the notifications - only Repost and Like. This makes it difficult to distinguish whether a track (especially older tracks) has also been commented on. So please show tolerance if one or the other comment “slips through”... 😰

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.
