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 ; )

SandyDreaming (CellarSession With Ahmed & Ergün)

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

 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....
