When those we are now joyfully developing take inventory and count out by "were you good?". Christmas times very different with a built-in malfunction!

Small robots for children were placed under the Christmas tree. Now it is the robots that rule us. The Christmas tree is already electric in many places!

a not entirely serious story  ;) 😉

Merry Christmas to all who supported me so far, listened to me and read. Stay healthy and creative!

Critical Demolition

And children grow up with deep eyes,
Who know of nothing, grow up and die,
And all men go their ways.

And sweet fruits grow from the bitter ones
And fall down at night like dead birds
And lie a few days and perish.

And ever the wind blows, and ever again
We hear and speak many words
And feel lust and weariness of limbs.

And roads run through the grass, and places
Are there and there, full of torches, trees, ponds,
And looming, and deadly withered . . .

What are these built for? and never resemble
One another never? and are innumerable many?
What alternates laughter, weeping and palliation?

What do we care about all this and these games,
We who are great and eternally lonely
And wandering never seek any goals?

What does it matter if we have seen many such things?
And yet he who says "evening" says a lot,
A word from which profundity and sorrow run

Like heavy honey from the hollow combs.

Und Kinder wachsen auf mit tiefen Augen,
Die von nichts wissen, wachsen auf und sterben,
Und alle Menschen gehen ihre Wege.

Und süße Früchte werden aus den herben
Und fallen nachts wie tote Vögel nieder
Und liegen wenig Tage und verderben.

Und immer weht der Wind, und immer wieder
Vernehmen wir und reden viele Worte
Und spüren Lust und Müdigkeit der Glieder.

Und Straßen laufen durch das Gras, und Orte
Sind da und dort, voll Fackeln, Bäumen, Teichen,
Und drohende, und totenhaft verdorrte . . .

Wozu sind diese aufgebaut? und gleichen
Einander nie? und sind unzählig viele?
Was wechselt Lachen, Weinen und Erbleichen?

Was frommt das alles uns und diese Spiele,
Die wir doch groß und ewig einsam sind
Und wandernd nimmer suchen irgend Ziele?

Was frommt's, dergleichen viel gesehen haben?
Und dennoch sagt der viel, der "Abend" sagt,
Ein Wort, daraus Tiefsinn und Trauer rinnt

Wie schwerer Honig aus den hohlen Waben.

'Hugo von Hofmannsthal'

Origin And Decay

We humans would finally become more aware of infinity if we would think more often about the fact that for millions of years, with every last breath, a finiteness in the infinite has come to an end.

Die Unendlichkeit würde uns Menschen endlich bewußter, wenn wir öfter darüber nachdenken würden, daß seit Millionen von Jahren mit jedem letzten Atemzug eine Endlichkeit im Unendlichen zu Ende geht.

A Brief Eternity (Forever)

Ein Zauberkünstler ist ein Mann, der Dinge von dort wegnimmt, wo sie nicht sind, und sie dort hinstellt, wo man sie nicht finden kann, weil sie nicht da sind.

A magician is a man who takes things away from where they are not and puts them where they cannot be found because they are not there.

Un prestidigitateur est un homme qui enlève des choses de là où elles ne sont pas et les met là où on ne peut pas les trouver parce qu'elles n'y sont pas.

Second request for my friend who needed a track for her Sky diving videos...
Very cool track...Sounds very nice and Deep House!!!

You got me

EPIC

Lyrics:

I'll try to hide from you for as long as I can
Don't want to feel this love again

I thought I found you in this cold world
But now I realize it was just a lie

A lie...
I can't believe it was just a lie
Maybe in another life I will meet you 
And you love me like I do now

I thought I found you in this cold world
But now I realize it was just a lie

Dear Friends, this year has flown away too ... for the Christmas Challenge organized by Simon Reich I thought of preparing a short composition that recalled the sound of merry bells even if with a pinch of warmth that invites us to meditate and take care of our dearest loved ones. Happy listening and Merry Christmas to You!!

Bells on Christmas Night (Christmas 2022)

Heaven And Earth

1941 in Babyn Jar(Ukraine near Kiev), in probably the largest single massacre in the history of mankind, almost 34,000 Jews were murdered by the Nazis in cooperation with the German Wehrmacht by shooting and "piling them up" in the "Women's Gorge” (in Ukrainian "Babyn Jar"). 

Most of the murdered Jews were completely exterminated. Their bodies were burned, their belongings stolen.

With my song "Babyn Jar" I want to make a small contribution to this massacre never being forgotten and everything humanly possible being done so that such an event never repeats in the future.

And since this massacre leaves one only in speechless mourning for the souls, which are often raped, then murdered and wiped out, there are no lyrics in this song apart from a lament choir this time.

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.

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 😆

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

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.
