Many years ago (at the age of 21), I started dating this really cool girl. A few weeks into the relationship, I naturally wanted her to know me better, so I decided to share one of my favorite hobbies. One evening, with precision gaming Fung Shui, I configured the dining room table for an optimized evening of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons; and I began an adventure for her and a few of our friends. I thought it was going well. But unfortunately, after a few sessions, she indicated she wasn’t too hip on my ’mind-numbingly tedious, micro-rules’ play-style (apparently not all people enjoy having the spontaneity squeezed out of an exciting moment, while the Dungeon Master rummages through the rulebooks). It was a hard lesson to learn. My love of gaming rules and nano-details was not as fascinating (or sexy) as I first imagined.

Fast forward 30 years. That girl (despite having a great deal of common sense), is still sitting by my side. And although I was never able to amaze her with the ‘pen and paper’ world of gaming (a hobby that now resides exclusively with our oldest daughter); we both love geeking out over the latest video games. I’ll take that. :D

Interestingly though… one D&D concept stuck. And she recently told me she uses this in real life… and on a regular basis. It is the idea of ‘disbelieving’, as a conscious action (choosing to see past the illusion before you). Seems like a strange idea, I know. But in a fantasy world, that’s how you get past the illusionary dragon guarding the treasure; or avoid the siren song lulling you to your doom. 

And ya know what? She’s right. Disbelief is actually a cleverly disguised life practice awaiting our usage. 

Am I suggesting we can disbelieve ourselves right out of the visible illusion? Pop from the Holo-Deck? Probably not (but I’m not sure about that yet). One thing we can do is disbelieve that it has to be this way; that we have to be this way.

Navigating this life requires a certain willingness to commit to the agreed upon illusion. Every day, we wake up into this man-made idea (and lets face it, this really is the product of men, not women). Every day, we watch our fears grow… “I gotta secure mine. Cuz there isn’t enough to go around”. We find ourselves fighting over the strangest of things (see: COVID Toilet Paper Days). And depending on which side of the fence you occupy, it is absolutely undeniable… the other side is out of their minds, and entirely to blame. It’s a mighty convincing illusion; and I honestly spend way too much time lost in it.

But that’s just it. I’m tired of being lost in the illusion. Believing in the current illusion requires a strong investment in fear. And I don’t have the strength for that anymore. I suspect many of you feel the same way. So for just a moment (or perhaps 24 hours a day), let's play with the idea of disbelieving this is all there is. Disbelieving is a great way to see past the illusion. And when the dragon disappears… we can finally get to the treasure. 

I hope you enjoy my latest musical effort, ‘I Disbelieve’. :)

A few months ago, i was out for a walk downtown . Saw a group of begging people. One of them was a young boy , crying his heart out . 
Fell totally lost . Suddenly overwhelmed by a  huge guiltiness feeling . This confusion melted to some kind of angriness is what i try to describe here .

First written in 2010 with a single verse, the song slowly developed since then, going through several developments since its inception. I wanted the drums in the verse to have a bombastic 1/1 feel, hence the heavy bass drums and tom-toms. The song lacked a proper chorus for several years, so Adam Becker helped me structure one.

The "bones are brittle" passage was originally structured as a third verse; it would have been twice the length of the first two verses with eight lines as opposed to four. In 2019, the third verse was replaced with a new bridge section, and only the first four lines were retained from the original verse. Leo Scarselletta was responsible for giving this section a half-time feel.

Sinny: assorted drums (electronic drum kit, kick drum, bass drum, tom toms, snare drum, buffalo drum, brake drum, toy drum); percussion (congas, bongos, djembe, cowbell, tambourine, sleigh bells, shaker, gong, slapstick); piano, midi guitar, kazoo, conch shell, samba whistle, found sounds (paint can, carpet, fire extinguisher flap, bleacher, scissors); drum, synth, mellotron, and bass programming, lead and gang vocals, yelps

Luke Giunta: bass guitar, rhythm guitars

Sebastian Fredette: lead and rhythm guitars

Adam Becker: electric guitar (sirens, shredding, riffing, interpolations), vibraslap, gang vocals, vitamin endorsement

Dawn of Midi – Nix

If there is anything to be said about Neuronoa's "Curiocity" album, its WOWWWWW!!! With detail so refined, its like staring into the sun. With color so rich and dynamic, your reality is competing and racing with the genius of this music. Electronic rock and gestural sound design are at the speed of light evolving together for a better future, here in this modest package of 5 songs. Could not recommend this album more!

ABOUT THIS TRACK
Creation, the hourlong free jazz album recorded in Berlin, is told in two tracks: the first, a rich introduction to the richness and chaos of Life, followed by an equally energizing conclusion. “Creation (Part One)” is a 15-minute track that opens with tendrils of sound: New York-based Sabir Mateen’s tenor saxophone exploring the very limits of its range, Christian Ramond’s steady double bass building momentum, Klaus Kugel’s layering drums dancing around a beat and Christopher Dell on the fluid, but warmly welcomed, Vibes that manage to pacify and ground the other instrumentation. The track is a masterful feat of interactive improvisation, showcasing the musicians’ talents as well as their chemistry, uniting American and European jazz scenes. Moreover, it offers a transcendent interpretation of their central idea: Creation, and the challenging, beautiful work of being alive.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
FACTS FIRST: CREATION presents one 47-minute, fully improvised 2012 live performance from Berlin, featuring three Germans and one New Yorker. The Germans are drummer Klaus Kugel, bassist Christian Ramond, and vibraphonist Christopher Dell. Kugel and Ramond have been frequent bandmates since the late ‘80s, currently with clarinetists Michel Pilz and Theo Jörgensmann. A beat is optional in this sort of free jazz, but momentum is a requirement, ands Kugel and Ramond, thinking in tandem, are expert at supplying it. I was unfamiliar with Dell before hearing him on Creation, for which I bear blame as a typically geocentric American, because he provides such color and contrast here, both in his solos and his backgrounds, that he’s now among my very favorite vibists,  along with Chicagoian Jason Adasiewicz. The wildcard is the sub-underground shock tenorist Sabir Mateen, who continues to be a mystery man in whatever scene he finds himself. Prepare to be blown away by him—as close as possible to literally. - Francis Davis, July 2020

Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, was fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations.
