Actually meant as a sketch, but the idea is quite apparent already, so I'll post it as a preview of sorts. There's a lot to tell about this chap, maybe man ...

the weird and wonderous adventures of a maybe man 

Wer ist da?  [the amazing adventures of one MAYBE MAN pt.4]

I replaced the old recording of this idea with a current one, featuring a metronomic drum loop and two stacked electric guitars, mainly because I had hoped to fend off any attempts at rising an eyebrow from the rest of the band. Indeed, I have not heard back from them since.

Recorded in the fledgling "starmaus studio". The first take to make use of studio monitors rather than just headphones - it shows immediately. The lyrics are still missing here: JA!? / NEIN!? / VIELLEICHT?!?

der wahlspruch [maybe man S01E03]

This is a sweet and somewhat stunning little piece which I love a lot. It's fully improvised, with me on the guitar and my bandmate Pilar on the children's xylophone, while her buddy Philip, who I'd met this day for the first time ever, picked up my bass guitar and began playing this wonderfully sounding riff as if it was the easiest thing ever. We end up delivering something that might as well be a real composition, flowing and ebbing naturally throughout. An iPhone lay around to record it, and at the end you can hear us discovering the guitars are not even in tune. Beautiful.

Metill showed up for the rehearsal with a bassline and a metronome set to 240bpm. 24 hours later I had derivedthis concept; intended to open yet another theme for a few tracks: pehnomena of physics.

An impromptu version of an idea - some kind weird logician's humor, still lacking the real intended punchline here. I'm still giggling.

Pharao Noses (Skizze)

Mantra 7 serves as a ground. The pulsating isorythmic drums convey an undercurrent of energy without bending  the somewhat compact dynamics of the groove. The bass guitar is a third layer, it conveys the joy that I felt upon realizing I could actually do that. The recording is spontaneous, yet clean enough to carry the spark of the whole idea, whatever it may be - I'll probably like this little piece for a long time to come.
