„Allein“  (13.09.2022 )

Schweigend schaue ich auf meine Klaviertasten. Es weit über Mitternacht.
Ich finde keinen Schlaf. 
Meine Hände fangen an die Klaviertasten zu berühren. Ohne Gedanken an eine Melodie beginne ich zu spielen. 

Eine improvisierte Pianofantasie zur Mitternacht.

Nur ich und das Klavier. Ich bin nicht „Allein“ ich habe meine Musik.


Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Alone" (09/13/2022 )

I look at my piano keys in silence. It's well past midnight.
I can't sleep
My hands begin to touch the piano keys. Without thinking of a melody, I begin to play.

An improvised piano fantasy at midnight.

Just me and the piano. I'm not "alone" I have my music.


Thank you for your valued attention.

Alone

„Nachtschicht“ (14.01.2023 )

Dies ist die Fortsetung meiner Musikreihe in loser Folge :
Anthologie „Nacht Musik“
Fragile einsame Selbstgespräche, zerbrechliche Zwiegespräche.

Der Weg in die Nacht und durch die Nacht mit all seinen Facetten.
Die Straßenlampen und deren mal grelles mal warmes Licht versetzen uns je nach den Wetterverhältnisse eher in eine andere dimensionale Stimmung.

Manche Menschen müssen in die Nacht hinaus. Viele haben einen nächtlichen Arbeitsweg.
Sie scheinen diesen zu kennen und sind in Gedanken versunken fast schlafwandeln auf ihren nächtlichen Weg. 

Und die, die nicht zur Ruhe kommen und in der Nacht umher wandern.
Jeder ist auf seine Art auf seinem Weg durch die Nacht.

Könnte auch ein Boulevard der Dämmerung sein in dem sich viele in ihren nächtlichen Träumen verlieren.

So begeben sich viele Menschen in ihre ganz eigene Nachtschicht.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Night Shift" (01/14/2023)

This is the continuation of my music series in loose order:
Anthology "Night Music"
Fragile lonely soliloquies, fragile dialogues.

The way into the night and through the night with all its facets.
The street lamps and their sometimes glaring sometimes warm light put us in a different dimensional mood depending on the weather conditions.

Some people have to go out into the night. Many have a night commute.
They seem to know this and are deep in thought, almost sleepwalking on their nocturnal journey.

And those who don't get any rest and wander around at night.
Everyone is on their way through the night in their own way.

Could also be a twilight boulevard where many lose themselves in their nightly dreams.

So many people go into their very own night shift.


Thank you for your valued attention.

"Route 66" by James Lawrence Nesser

There are hundreds of covers of this classic, written by Bobby Troup in 1946 and first recorded by Nat King Cole that same year.  Here is one more, a version that is influenced by a number of different artists, but mainly by The Rolling Stones on their self-titled 1964 album.

Epiphone Casino
Epiphone Viola Bass

"Route 66"

method: adding voice and vst to a preexisting song
narration: One of the greatest creative artist on soundcloud, stonerjazz https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/tracks, my friend Jeff, has composed a song shock full of paranoia, existential threat and hope for redemption and salvation - a truthful portrayal of the human condition. It is a mesmerizing work of art as it stands. When I approached him concerning a possible collab for my upcoming soundcloud-only album 'songs to pacify extraterrestrials' (out by the end of November 2023), he offered this to me. I was in a fix: How can you work on something that is already perfect, complete in itself?  Eventually, I decided to take a cynical approach and turn it into an intergalactic commercial for tooth --- no, fangpaste. There was a challenge in bringing about the non-music so typical for the advertising industry. Virtual midi-operated synthesizers helped. During gestation, I called those interludes and overlays PCBs, short for 'psychotic commercial break' or 'paranoid commercial breakdown'. They are of somewhat juvenile humor and also have some Douglas Adams vibes, I hope, Marvin-style. None of my recontextualization does the existential thrill (and especially the hope for liberation) of the original any justice at all - quite in the contrary. It was a morbid kind of fun to create, though ... and, to my utter astonishment, Jeff liked it and edged me on during the process. Well, here you are. It's (be)coming for you!
