In another sense, also romantic, like the love that could not be obtained.

Lammbone

Just banjoing around (fiddling with a banjo). Realizing ( again and again ) lately how much tension and strife there is globally, and how I am really working to lessen that in myself and the world. This song is rough and once again, a simple freejam idea, tossed together quickly. That's OK. Pic is back when I was 18. Thanks for dropping by.

Yearning. The pain when you long for something and yet can't get it. When periods of depression and self-immersion are interrupted by outbursts of hearfelt desire and longing, only to collapse into themselves again. And yet, excruciating as this bittersweet state of mind is, the heart nevertheless seems to also derive pleasure from it.

Compositionwise: 
The track is of the form Intro (@0:00) - Main1 (@0:33) - Main2 (@1:29) - Diversion (@2:19) - Main3(@2:53) - Outro (@3:17)
Overall, the track lives from its sequence of low-energy parts and muffled outbursts. Over time, the track increases in intensity, in two ways: First, its speed increases from the Intro in the Mid 60s to the Low 70s lateron. Moreoever, the melodical intensity of the variations gets increasingly dense (see below) 

The track starts with a low-paced introspect Intro where the left melody line goes up and the right hand down. This contraction in the used space of tones resembles the seclusion of the proponent of our story. The desparation is underlined by sudden crescendos and abrupt falling back into pian(issim)o. This effect is held up throughout the remainder of the track. The left hand in the Intro follows a low-paced half note beat. The right hand first introduces the lead theme that is later varied in the parts (M, M', M'') but then modulates in a unique way that is not repeated throughout the track again.
@ 0:33, the Intro is over and the first of the main parts, Main1, starts. The left hand increases its intensity from here on throughout the track by switching to quarters instead of halfs. The lead theme is modulated with more energy (and will be ever more intense in the later variations of Main). After that, the track goes @0:57 into a series of outbursts and resignations. This series is repeated in Main2 @1:57 in more intensity and a chord inversion higher.
The Diversion is characterised by chord inversions that gently fall down, just like rain that pours down that window that our protagonist stares through. And then reaches the biggest outburst of the whole track.
Finally, after Main3, which includes the most intense version of the lead theme and harmonically altered variation, the piece finishes with a questioning yet pieceful end.

In mastering the piece, after MIDI editing, one of the challenges was to find the right balance between the plaintive metallic overtone-rich outbursts versus a rich and full sound for the resignative parts. I chose the Pianoteq Warm Peterov Mistral (with some minor tweaks) as the piano. On this, I used three basic Cubase-inate effects: (1) some light-touch EQ (a scaled-downversion of Basic Piano), (2) compression (Ratio of 1.8) and (3) Reverb (the Cubase-equivalent of the Goldener Musikvereinssaal in Vienna of course :-)). The mix has been balanced at -1db to allow enough headroom for the streaming services' normalization magic to happen ;-).

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!
