I really love this composition 🙂it has wonderful harmonics and very swing groove👏❤️🙂

Sparkling piano work here Konrad. Great feel good aura. Bravo!

Truly like this “vintage” vibe with great piano sounds. Original composition and truly nice to listen.

Really excellent swing to this track! Boogie on! Will check the video next!

Such amazing energy here, Konrad...feel-good music at it's very best!

Second Life on Mars

Pull you through (John Taylor Cover)

You can find this track also on Youtube where I filmed myself while playing this. https://youtu.be/s5ytA3aeu6w 

I just wanted to try out whether I could do a Boogie. This is the outcome. Hope you like it and it gives you good energy. 

Composition-wise: The left is a consistent 1/8th Boogie base line throughout the piece and typically consisting of a lower chromatic line and an upper constant note (e.g., C0-C1-D0-C1-Eb0-C1-E0-C1). The right hand dances over this with a partly Staccato theme that is loosened up by repeated Syncopes, Delays and advanced notes. The piece starts in a joyous C and modulates over its course to the minor third and ends in the warmer (and for me richer) Eb. 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90.
The Cover art was created with Stable Diffusion which I continue fuddling around with. I think it is already a far jump from my previous „Sheherazades Tale“ Cover art but still not perfect. In particular, I continue to wonder what kind of music might be played with the very peculiar arrangement of white and black keys on the keyboard.

August marks 3 years since the passing of Per-Olov Lemhagen, Master Peo, as he was known on Bandcamp, mp3u.com and other music platforms.

Peo was a clarinetist and used to play in a swing band in the 50's in Sweden. His familiarity with the instruments, arrangements and all that goes into creating authentic band pieces made him a valuable mentor in the American Jazz classics.

This one, Darktown Strutter's Ball is such a piece, and it was always a joy and a learning experience for me to lend a vocal to Peo's arrangements.  This is loosely based on Ella Fitzgerald's version of this classic.  Peo wanted to slow the tempo for his interpretation...which worked for me too ;)

In memory of Peo.

Lyrics:
Darktown Strutters Ball

I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey.
Better be ready about half past eight.
Now baby, don't be late,
I wanna be there when the band start playing.
Remember when we get there, baby,
Two-steps, I'm gonna have them all,
Gonna dance out of both of my shoes,
When they play that Jelly Roll Blues,
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

Songwriter:  Shelton Brooks
1915

Synthetic Bach - Passacaglia And Fugue In C Minor V2.0
Classical Music Meets Synthi Pop ;)
For this song I took the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor BWV 582 by Johann Sebastian Bach (an organ composition) as a basis. The result is a mixture of classical organ music and synthesizer pop.
I love the music of Bach, you can find so much in it. He was also one of the first to use excellent arpeggios. It's hard to imagine modern music without him.
Have fun listening.

Chaos In Nowhere City

Winter Piano

"Finding Home" is the prelude to "Dreaming of Home" composed in ternary form and so named for its wandering key signature.

Finding Home

Cream

Side by Side 

There’s no end to where we start
Side by side no fall apart 
In silence we can hear 
Side by side 
Side by side 

I have moods you do too 
Side by side we move on through 
Both our worlds are on spin
Side by side 
Side by side 

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now 

Let’s hang out not do anything 
Side by side just sharing space 
Safe in our everything 
Side by side 
Side by side 

We sit tight in between 
Side by side not quite seen 
Hide away it’s our favourite thing 
Side by side 
Side by side 

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now 

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now 

Just undo what’s tightly screwed 
Side by side unwind renew 
Have the light warm down on dim
Side by side 
Side by side

Doing things in parallel
Side by side only we can tell 
When nothing is something 
Side by side 
Side by side

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now

coldplay & the chainsmokers- something just like this (lovely Piano)

The piano is not just an instrument; it is a storyteller. My lifelong companion. Each piece holds the memory of a moment in time, of a period in life. Here, I share my personal journey—one miniature, one experiment, one story at a time.

I’m Konrad Spittelberg, 52 years old. Though I’ve always called Vienna my home, I have pursued various interests, building an interdisciplinary background that spans education in Latin and Greek, studies of Mathematics, Physics and Economics and a carreer in Consulting and Risk Management. Sometimes, you might also find me immersed in games of Go, Chess or D&D. 

But only when I’m not making music. Of course. Still then, all of my interests have shaped the way I think — and, in turn, the way I compose.

The instrument of my life is the piano. I play it since the age of six, the first 16 in music school with my dedicated teacher Margarete Gerlach (and also thanks to the city of Vienna to the incredible publicly funded music schools!). My piano playing saw multiyear interruptions due to travel and workload. But in recent years I’ve found the time to pursue my passion again—with renewed joy. I devote many of my evenings to developing, refining and rehearsing my piano miniatures. 

I inhale music wherever I find it. In the echoes of Renaissance motets or contemporary cluster music with my local choir, which I joined 30 years ago. In music running in the background of a fashion store which I Shazaam for later enjoyment. Or live concerts - there are so many gifted artists in the world! 

My music is a dialogue between tradition and exploration. Rooted in classical and romantic traditions, it ventures into jazz, rock, and pop.  I love to experiment—playing with unexpected tonalities, syncopated rhythms, and dynamic contrasts. My compositions often evolve through shifts in tension, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic modulations, sometimes venturing across the circle of fifths. I’m also diving deeper into the art of mastering, an area where I still have much to explore.

If my music speaks to you, I’d love for you to follow my journey. Follow along, share your thoughts—whether in appreciation or in challenge. Music, after all, is meant to be a conversation—and I’d love to hear your voice in it.
Enjoy your time with my music!
