cool new home-made toy :)  it sounds very fun.  i like all the different sounds it makes.

First there were some steeltongue-drums, then a Diddley-bow, now an upright bass... maybe there will be soon some more.... enough for a set, I think... : ))

Selfmade instruments

Today I made a diddley bow (as shown in the picture) and this is the first try.... I recorded it with a contact-mic and a Zoom-player (guitar-effects)..... looped first in the Kaossilator then in Ableton...

Lovvarion - AllesWirdGut (DiddleyBowBlues)

As shown in the picture, this is my new upright bass I built the last 5-6 days....it's about 1m 90cm high, made out of a piece of an old bed of my children, a wooden oval box, some guitar and bicycle-pieces and 3 strings normally used for tennisrackets....was a lot of fun to make it and now a lot of to discover the possibilities.... looped in Ableton with Ableton-effects, here's a teaser... : ))

Lovva'sSelfmadeUprightBass - Teased?

Made some loops with my (third) selfmade SteelTungueDrum, then finished it in Ableton with effects and drums....

MnmLovva - Touch (MinimalAmbient)

All together: My selfmade Bass, my DiddleyBow, my voice   .....   and my love ; )

Lovvarion - NoBluesAfterAll (Lovva'sLove, Voice & Instruments)

Build a new Instrument... call it AEOlia... The body of an old selfmade Cigarbox-guitar with a singlecoil and some pieces of piano-strings... cellar music, recorded with my handymic in front of a little Axl-amp...into Ableton, into your ears...
Enjoy!

Above the burnt out Earth a satellite with a decaying orbit attempts to play classical music from it's shattered data. I tune to the old emergency channel to record the last remnants of beauty.

changes in the sun

Wishing for rain wherever needs it! 🍀


To Rain 💦

May the rain reveal
Let the snow fall
Spirit sending some drops
A clear elixir call
Asking arid to end
To hydrate your soul
Nature, don't pretend
Clouds east, Please roll

Fill the lakes
Run with the rivers
Moisten that land
Mend dryness shivers
Carbon cycle please wake
Deliver your voice
For beauty larks sake
Give drink now by choice

May the rain reveal
Send the snow to fall
May you wet all piped steel
Trend water torrents to galls
Hydrate their real
No sanctions for luck
End double edged sword
Water full every brook

Rearrange your letters
You'll find your place
As drops make better
Bring some smile to face
Tame the farms
Sucking human race
Rearrange your letters
Rain find that grace

To Rain (Poem)

Are you Free?

Made in November 2025

Lone Wolf

This, what seems to be the Best I've ever made, is for my son M. in Berlin.... hope he likes it, listening to it,  
while coming home from his BIRTHDAY-PARTY... Misch: big hugs, the SunDrum ( which I sampled for this track), is yours, but you'll have to come to get it.... ALL THE BEST.... Babba

Update Nov 2025: Lots of selfmade, mostly bed-& livingroom-produced tracks here, different styles because of different moods and music tools, often selfmade instruments, allways experimenting (f.e.: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/experimentingwithovertones) and in search of sounds and soundmaking stuff (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/experimental-4 or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/ashtrayrecordings).... harmonic or non-harmonic....mostly mixed in Ableton ....and all free to download ...if you want to use one of my tracks or try a collab, just do it and tell me about it... all in terms of Creative Commons...
you'll find some of my collabs here: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/cloudersremixesorcovers or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/bellalovvacollabsnsessions with my beloved partner&wife&everything or, with my son: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/berlintapes, or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvarisade-collab-with-christiansade or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/santiagocordobahadjiahmedlovva or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/the3blueelephants...
 I have to make music every free minute, allways full of it, and, about time, over the years, I have a lot of nice instruments, percussions, synths , grooveboxes & toys & effects (listen to: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/novation-circuit-kaossilator,  https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/pushedtothemax, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/synth, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/thereminstuff,  or selfmade Instruments to do this (for example the WonderBoXX: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvari-klingerling-best-of-my or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/selfmade-instruments)... and more and more, I like to sing ( https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/akapellastuff or https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvasblues, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/la-bretagne-oktobermusik-2025)... and I like to tell musical stories (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/lovvasjourneys) ... I like to switch between the genres (https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/whataboutjazz, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/mnml-2, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/any-kind-of-hops, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/darksides, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/dubbystuffs, https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/electronicvibes...
All of these tracks are my kind of relaxing and meditation and I will do it till the end of time...
I hope, you like, what I do....You may find a lot, but no autotune and no AI, I swear...
You cannot OWN music, you only can MAKE it.... (something, Neneh Cherry said)... and so I do...
I never learned an instrument, I am an analphabet in music theory, but that's not important: 
I AM an instrument and there's always music inside me.... and I go on...
SC is my diary: The diary of my steps into the world of music since 2012....
if you want to know something about that: you're welcome!
One of my tracks is especially made for you... 
Enjoy! 
Try the playlists ; ) ... If you want to, you could listen to my music now for over 4 days nonstop...  ; D
...and if that's not enough, listen to those wonderful soundclouders: https://soundcloud.com/lovvarion/sets/thingsilike-inspiring
