My Most Played Songs | Part One

At the beginning of the song I used a patch from Omnisphere 2 that is COPYRIGHT? That can not be true, from a purchased product individual sounds are protected by copy right?!?? This goes so far that you are not allowed to use the strings from VST libraries of, for example, cinesamples, Native Instruments, Sonuscore etc., or what?

What have the Catholic, Protestant and other churches taught us? Charity? Understanding? ...and so much more. They have practiced other things for more than 2000 years. Oppression, people led away from convictions, imprisoned and tortured, raped and abused, even children! Galileo Galilei was one of the victims. Johannes Kepler had to fear for his life when he established his theories. Yes, even the Church was hostile to its followers: Martin Luther!

Where would we be if these autocratic, chosen inquisitors had not existed in the "dark ages"? I claim we would be at least 500 years ahead with progress, technology and knowledge...EVERY SINGLE ONE!

I have no contract with the ground staff of this institution and with it per se!

The biblical account of creation (Gen. 1:27 EU) says: "And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; and he created them male and female." Adam and Eve first live in the Garden of Eden. There Eve is persuaded by the serpent to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, despite God's prohibition. This serpent is often referred to the devil in the Christian tradition; this equation is already found in the New Testament in Rev 12:9 EU. The common image of the apple as the forbidden fruit of paradise is not based on a translation error in the Latin Bible, the Vulgate, but on the fact that in the Latin language the word malus can mean "apple tree", but also "bad, evil", just as malum can mean "apple" or "the evil, the bad, the evil". This resulted in an obvious play on words, especially since the Vulgate translated the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" from the original Hebrew text as lignum scientiae boni et mali. The rejection of God's commandments expressed in eating the forbidden fruit is considered disobedience to God in both the Jewish and Christian religions. Christianity speaks of the Fall.

As a result of the rebellion, the Bible describes Adam and Eve realizing their nakedness, whereupon they make themselves an apron of fig leaves. They try to hide from God. For the first time, something is present in the Garden of Eden that was not known before: the violation of the sense of shame. God confronts them, whereupon Adam blames Eve and Eve blames the serpent. Both are expelled from the Garden of Eden, but God makes them fur clothing as protection. Eve must henceforth bear children in pain, and Adam is given the hard and laborious task of farming. The classic words from Gen 3:19 EU: "For dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return" express, according to Christian interpretation, that death has now entered the world, since humans have remained mortal. Enmity will prevail between Eve, the serpent and their respective descendants.

In the biblical narrative, after the expulsion from Paradise, Adam begets Cain, Abel and Set with Eve. Genesis 5:4 also mentions other unnamed daughters and sons that Adam fathered after the birth of Set. Adam's total age is given as 930 years.

"What has wings, that flies, and had it been born in a mole hole."

I think I have succeeded here quite a beautiful song...🤔

In the video I use a "pimped" version of the song. I was missing a bit of the timpanis & rolls. Maybe I'll replace this one with the YT version 🤔 what do you think?

Upon Higher Wings

A not so nice news reached me earlier this week...A very good friend of mine passed away. My way of coping with grief. Take care, my dear friend! 🌹

One or the other may listen to this song again, possibly comment - and notice that I don't write back or thank you for the comment. But be assured: I read all comments, ALL, and thank you here in the description for it.

Der eine oder andere wird sich vielleicht dieses Lied nochmals anhören, eventuell kommentieren - und bemerken, dass ich nicht zurückschreibe oder mich für den Kommentar bedanke. Seid aber versichert: ich lese alle Komentare, ALLE, und bedanke mich hier in der Beschreibung dafür bei euch.

For the best audiovisual experience, I recommend watching the video on my youtube channel 😍😉... https://youtu.be/j3ncT8xqfmc

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.
