_____________________________________

Calaminus was a one-man-project from Düsseldorf/Germany, producing groove-orientated instrumental music with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Acid/Nu)Jazz, Groove and Rock/Pop, sometimes enriched by several influences of our Worlds' Music.
From 2009 - 2021, I created more than 200 original music tracks, released 5 albums and actively colaborated with some fine musicians here.

In 2021, I decided to end this project after all these years due to the lack of general interest in my music and my own personal interest in music at all.

----
Many of these original tracks - all arranged, recorded, mixed & mastered by myself - are still available under Creative Commons (CC-NC-ND) for free non-commercial use.

Any commercial use of my music tracks is strictly prohibited.

Here are the archived links to the  5 full album releases  of Calaminus
- enjoy your listen for FREE as long as they are still there:
