Very clever. I am old enough to remember.

I never got lovely messages, but I love the idea behind this innocently optimistic music. Helen  x

Proud to announce this track is another successful composition having reached No. 1 on the Soundcloud New & Hot Classical Charts within 72 hours of its release.

I have a great passion for classical composition and am inspired by many past classical composers.

Finally had a moment to complete a rather complex classical composition comprising of the cello, violin, full strings, bass strings, viola, violins 1, violins 2 utilising legato, tremolo, staccato movements.   I hope to make a proper cover for this one over the next few days.

Grunt Follicles of Buddha

1. artifacts
visible but often indecipherable (e.g., behavior, artifacts, negotiation tactics)
2. values
only limited detectable, partly unconscious (e.g. respect for elders).
3. basic assumptions
are taken for granted, unconscious (e.g. man is good/evil).

2. Werte

Do you remember? (Part One) "Yes - No - Maybe!"

In this little series I try to awaken memories in less than 4 minutes that probably every one of us knows (who is our age, of course).

This is about those little pieces of paper that were passed around - just like you see in the cover picture. Will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend? Let's be honest: what were you given back the most back then? Where were the crosses? Yes? No? Maybe? Or did you give out more than you got from others yourself? 😆

Have fun on this trip down memory lane!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erinnerst Du Dich? (Teil eins) "Ja - Nein - Vielleicht!"

In dieser kleinen Serie versuche ich innerhalb weniger als 4 Minuten Erinnerungen wach werden zu lassen, die wohl jeder von uns kennt (der in unserem Alter ist, natürlich).

Hier geht es um diese kleinen Zettelchen, die herumgereicht wurden - genauso, wie sie im Titelbild zu sehen sind. Willst du mit mir gehen? Mal ehrlich: was wurde euch damals am meisten zurückgegeben? Wo waren die Kreuze? Ja? Nein? Vielleicht? Oder hast du mehr Briefchen verteilt, als selbst von anderen bekommen? 😆

Viel Spaß bei dieser Erinnerungsreise!

Work Your Magic 2022

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
work your magic
now work your magic
work your magic
now work your magic

cross your fingers sevenfold
bow down and put your own needs on hold
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
now work your work your magic 
work your magic work your magic
work your magic
  
this is your captain calling
with an urgent warning*
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
work your magic work your magic
work your magic 

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all of your time

* first two lines of the third verse borrowed from  ”Sweet Bird Of Truth“ by The The (1986)

Always inspiring and rewarding to hear what he brings.

The Still Bastion

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.
