The last leaf dropped to the floor, leaving the branches naked and exposed. As far as the eye could see every living thing had perished here. Life couldn't survive in this place, there was no light, no water, no love. The foundations of building still stood but these were now empty shells, skeletal spaces that no longer had tales to tell. It was a dystopian land void of any hope or any happiness. After years of turmoil, many living beings had moved away in hope of better climes and better days. Now the land was a barren graveyard.

To launch his new label Fangodischi, Italian producer Fango has reached deep into his arsenal of heavy drums for a two track EP called Lento. The slow builder evolves into a menacing industrial trip smothered in dystopian rhythms and metallic sounds, whiffs of steam and disturbing noise. The EP recollects the dual vision the artist has of his homeland: Venice, a “Disneyland” for tourists, and Marghera with its industries and poisons.

New Year Message

Hi everyone, I hope you and your families are well. 

As we hurtle towards another year I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your enthusiastic support. 

It has been a busy year with the completion of the box set project making all the 1st five albums available in lovely remastered form. I am very pleased with the way they turned out and I hope you enjoyed some of the rare tracks we were able to include. 
We managed to take the DIA/HL tour around the world visiting Japan, Australia, the UK, and the US, and it was a blast to play those albums for you. 

A couple of highlights of the year for me were "The song that changed my life" documentary

and the Voices Around the World project
http://youtu.be/qqNY1j7nmwc

I hope you are able to download my New Year gift to you of 4 tracks that were recorded live for the documentary which can be downloaded by clicking the download link here.

Next year will be the 30th anniversary of the first single release and it seems like a great excuse to do something special again. I'm planning a show or shows for the end of the year which will feature new music and video composed primarily for live performance and a selection of my favourite tracks from the whole hojo canon. In the new music I hope to write specific parts for audience participation and I hope you will feel like joining in the fun of this (parts will go out before the show). 
We also plan to release a DVD set of all the promo videos to date with remastered audio in the box set format. 

Who knows what else might happen!

Once again thank you for another memorable year!

Couldn't have done it without you!

Please take good care of yourselves! 
Happy New Year
Love
Howard Jones

Depeche Mode - "Big Muff (K_Master Bootleg)" [DEMO]

Hello, my name is Markus, I was born in 65 Geneva Switzerland but my origins are german, so some life time past. 
I learnt piano with different teacher, and  throught conservatoire, and between on my own using my ears.

Enjoyed a lot tweaking keyboards and synths throughout the eighties, were I used a long list of gear, bought and sold for a part.
 like listen to the music from that time and before, favourite seventies, and eighties.

 then also played here and there with different regular pop and rock bands.
 
Couldn't stop to love great Synthesizer, and I experimenting with several machines, 
even when most of them became a lot more virtual today, it was fantastic to get back to all these old clones of unaccessible hardware.

However this my music under the name of horizons that should be less common even if I try to keep a harmonic, like melodic edge along with some more experimental investigations. 
I recorded or composed on time, there is an album called "Dreams of the Maiden", you can check or listen to. 

Thanks for your visit

These are soundbits and glimpses from it, good to listen on the road if you like smooth, or  this also meant to relax. enjoy!

 I have also a blog talking about music and essential albums, with infos and links - but this will be in french. thanks

In another area I spend my time teaching music and the Piano, 
hereby you can also find my french blog related to Piano learning

Musiques à écouter est un blog sur les albums et les musiques qui m'ont marqué, vous aussi, venez et partagez!
Des infos, des videos, et des liens concernant chaque sujet. A bientôt.
