For many years I have wanted to see the beauty of the Celtic Highlands. I imagine it would be wonderful. I have been inspired by the previous track ("Ginger Angel") by my friend David Dunham, in which I was able to play.
I know that David has a similar wish and he loves celtic music. Since I have come to appreciate him very much in the past, I would like to dedicate this song to him. This song is for you and "Keep Celtic", David. And please forgive my poor guitar playing. 😉 

I invite you to explore the Highlands in your mind with this track to my music.
I wish you a pleasant journey.

71_ Lautsprecher - released on 15 December 2024 only on Soundcloud

On Friday night I was testing speakers, old-fashioned german word “Lautsprecher”, with a friend for her future vocal gigs and told her that I wanted to use only synths for my next track! Here it is! ;-) #minimal #nodrums #trance #acid #liverecording

(produced with BlocsWave & LaunchPad)

Sounds generated entirely by a Yamaha CK88, recorded onto six different tracks.

Settling the Mind

Mayflower

Sketch For Faro

Track 4 is a Drum Drops R&B beat. Track 3 is  a chord progression I wrote with Two guitars mixed low and high comping along. Track 2 is my bass line and Track 1 is my lead guitar with the melody.  I was thinking about how fast the summer season is flying by as I adjusted my final mix for  this one.

Harold Nono - "We're Almost Home" (BS048)

It's a collision of Neu!, John Barry, John Coltrane and My Bloody Valentine, which Joe Meek has collected up and put into one great melting pot.
[Monolith Cocktail]

The tracks swerve into curious realms, carrying static, opera and theremin in their wake. As a result, “We're Almost Home” seems intensely cinematic, with a sense of humour
[A Closer Listen]

What Nono delivers is a brain-bending sonic tempest, with ideas lifted from all corners of the planet.  If you’re curious to take a walk on the weird side, then this comes recommended.
[Aural Aggravation]

Brilliant stuff – off of the irrepressible Bearsuit Records. An excellent LP. Ever evolving is Harold Nono. Wonderful stuff!
[In-Tune]

A kooky, experimental music mix of electronica, synthwave, pop, jazz & rock with cinematic touches. An album that's genuinely different. Really fresh & unusual...
[D. Soulscorch - I Heart Noise]

*

Haq - “Evaporator” (BS044)

60s spy theme sexiness merges with the avant-garde dreampop of a bewitched Stereolab playing hopscotch with Delia Derbyshire whilst sucking on the feedback of a JAMC lollipop. This album really is a beautiful work of aural magic and makes for quite a moving experience: maybe there is a God after all.
[Monolith Cocktail] 

It's the weird and wonderful world of Haq... Ballistic beats and floaty mellowness collide, and often, as they explore the space between The Cocteau Twins and the Prodigy and somehow, in their state of dementure, attempt to bridge it by fusion
[Aural Aggravation]

Of course, being Haq there’s always that possibility that things will go south and rattle your expectations and morph into something resembling Captain Beefheart or the Residents crossed with Faust and Einstürzende Neubauten on summer holiday at the beach! [A] challenging listen that encourages to drop the distractions and listen to what music can sound like when it doesn’t follow traditional linear song patterns
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

It’s a fascinating listen and it comes with the bonus of hope –  that sometimes connections which lead to fresh crops of creativity can still be found...
[Popoptica]

Harold Nono - "Ideeit" (BS032) 

Absolutely gorgeous stuff! An excellent LP!
[Phil Vickery, In-Tune, BCFM]

Bearsuit mainstay Harold Nono returns – and once again, he’s come up trumps. Nono’s latest effort is as inventive as ever. An intriguing album that is – as you’d reasonably expect from Harold Nono – difficult to place, but a lot easier to dig
[Aural Aggravation]

[‘Tahiik’] a bit of a gem ghosted in shadowy noir trimmings and spy themed mosaics all presided over by brief moments of the kind of sinister edgy chill that recalls Budd and Barry
[The Sunday Experience]

All of these twelve tracks together make up a highly varied album, but it works very well. Nono has crafted an excellent album of moody, orchestral tunes
[Vital Weekly]

The tracks on this album are complex thematically, but yet melodic and accessible. Evoking different moods and textures Nono brings together a master work, worthy of any concert hall 
[Floorshime Zipper Boots]

An absolutely beautiful album, wonderfully orchestrated electronica punctuated by euphoric instrumentals and gorgeously downbeat string passages. An awesomely nuanced Nono masterpiece. 
[Gnomefoam]
