HOBOCOP

This Mendelssohnian theme came to me in a dream two years ago.

Impromptu for Cello in D Major

Dialogue With You

This piano piece is dedicated to all people that need to leave. Their homes, their loved ones, their lifes that they had so far. Because they see no future, because some regime presses them to go to war, because they have broken with their loved ones. All the best to you and may you find a new home!

Compositionwise: The piece is structured into 4 parts (starting @0:02, @0:45, @1:38 and @2:44). Each of the parts starts with a question-like motive built around Ninths. As with most of my pieces, I investigate applied perturbation theory also in this track by starting these 4 parts almost – but only almost – with the same notes and exploring, how initially tiny tweaks in the beginning of the parts evolve over time into distinctly different melodies, harmonics and moods.
Overall, the piece constantly oscillates between melancholic minor and consoling major harmonies and periods of relative calm interrupted by more restless forward driving parts. The transitions between the parts are made more seamless by ritardandos and by question-answer pairs such as e.g, @ 1:28 or @ 2:33. Most of the accompaignment in the left hand is in Vienna classic-like triad decompositions but for the climax of the track starting @ 2:02, the left hand switches to rock-piano-like octave jumps to increase the sense of emotional agitation. The track starts in A major and ends in Eb major which is said to be a warm and melancholic tonality. Tthe two keys are opposite each other (6 jumps away), so I guess, this is the maximum range of modulation possible to emphasize the sense of distance and leaving. 
The track can also be found on Spotify and on Youtube. Enjoy!

I normally go for "light and melodic" in my music but here i've gone for "dark and percussive" for a change!!

on a frozen berm
in a carriage house
with a veil of gauze
on a frosted hearth
 
on a ledge of iron
in a blinding storm
on the peat and earth
of the winded moor
   
in the ink and lead
in the skin of men
in the final beats
of a trembling heart
 
it is quiet, shhh
oh but it is quiet 
 
it is quiet
oh it is quiet
 
on the rolling sea
in the folds of sails
in between the planks
on the salty rail
 
in the thorny vines
in the rumpled flowers
in a nest of crows
on a crumbling tower
 
in the swirl of smoke
from a dying fire
it is grey and green
and it is quiet
shhh

It Is Quiet (with Janine Levinson)

TheReign (Instrumental)

In the Christian world to which we belong, the Advent season has begun and there has even been a bit of snow in some places, just like in our city. The Christmas season is perhaps also a good time to say thank you. We were lucky enough to grow up in families who looked after us and did everything they could to make us happy. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes you only remember to say thank you when someone falls seriously ill or dies and you realize what that person has done for you. One day it may be too late to say thank you- nobody lives forever. This song is a big thank you to our parents and families. In this sense, it is also our contribution to the Christmas season, even if it is not a real Christmas song. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas time, including of course those who do not belong to the Christian world.

"Thank you for our happy home where we never felt alone!"
❤️
Thank you, family!
Mom held me when I fell down, dad picked me up from the ground.
My sister consoled me when I cried, my brother always made me smile.
Dad taught me how to cook, Mum gave me my favourite book.

Thank you so much mom and dad, my sister and my brother,
always there like no other.

Daddy still wants to protect me from the dangers I might not see.
Mom so sad when we moved away, her day was so dark and grey.
From the days when we were young, together we fought and won.

Thank you for our happy home where we never felt alone.
Thank you for all the great love, it’s like a gift from above.

We've grown up and moved on, but our bond is still so strong.
We may quarrel and disagree, but our love is stronger than the sea
All the great memories that we share, forever they will be there 

Thank you for everything you have done, making our lives so much fun.
Thank you for all the great love, it’s like a gift from above.
❤️

Thank You Family!

My head it hurts so bad
I can't read my writing on the page
I scanned the lines but I can't see
What's become of me

It's true that I ain't been the same
Since you saw me that last day
When you wore that worried smile across your face
As you wiped the tears away

You said tell me where you're going
'Cause I know what you're going through
And I wanna be thinking about ya
What's become of you

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

You said tell me where you're going
'Cause I know what you're going through
N'a don't wanna be thinking about ya
What's become of you

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

It's a question that I ask myself
All the time
What's become of me

What’s Become Of Me

True Love

I knocked on your door, you didn't let me in
I hammered all I could, it didn't change anything..
You had made yourself a golden plated key
Which no one was allowed to touch, not even me..

The key was your protection
You used it to shut out
All that was difficult, and when you were in doubt
You wore it on a heavy chain around your neck
Like a precious piece of jewelry..

Let me in, I promise to be good to you
Let me in, I promise to be positive for you
I will help you carry your golden plated key
Let me in, open your door for me..

I will help you carry your golden plated key
Let me in, open your door for me..

The key is heavy to carry all alone
Eventually it will feel like the weight of a stone
You need to share the burden, so open up your door
Let me in, so you're not alone anymore..

Let me in, I promise to be good to you
Let me in, I promise to be positive for you
I will help you carry your golden plated key
Let me in, open your door for me..

Let Me In W/ Janne Hennie

Valley's Boy

I'm just a Valley's boy at the heart
Wind me up and I'll play my part
Son of a couple who couldn't get a start
Always loved the underdog
Never felt a part

The dirty shanty lives of the working class
The Rhondda Fawr and the Rhondda Fach
Washing the working souls down the fractured hills
Into the River Taff the Rhondda's running still

Sandstone pavements and rusted steel
Cold wet wind on my down at heel
Pick your future boy, forget your dreams
Mining our lives like those deep coal seams

Valley's Boy

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!
