BassMalDrei

Another one from "Smile On Your Face" (1999)

dreadFUSION - Hope

1999 with dreadFUSION ... this happens when you record reggae music in a german Schlager studio :)

dreadFUSION - okuantuni

Around 2000. Found the tracks recently and remixed it. Still like it (with Johannes Finke and Jörg Ferl)

sex mit monika kruse

Somewhen in the 90s. A track entirely created with sounds from a german encyclopedia - love it.

wussten Sie schon, dass? (early sampler experiments)

Please excuse the bad quality. This was rescued from some copy of a copy of a tape. If any of you guys have a copy with better quality, please send it to me. just love the relaxed atmosphere though. Guitars: Michael Kratschmayr, electric thingies: Gernot Lange, Jörg Ferl and Markus ?, Bass: Me


Kellerkinder (lo-fi - salvaged from old tape)

Early 90s - sorry for the sound. Was just something I put together on my Ensoniq KS-32 (32 voices with 8 Track Sequencer!!1!) and recorded to some rotten tape which lied around for about a decade before I digitized this. Would love to record this properly one day.

for p. (lo-fi sketch)

90s - Fragment of a groove recorded to some other rotten tape with my KS32. I would have loved to play that with a band. Never happened. If you have a band and like it: take it and run with it and post me the results if you ever record it :)

Us2 (lo-fi fragment)

90s - a while I dreamt of making soundtracks for imaginary films ... this must have been a circus scene ...

Zirkuskind (lo-fi fragment)

Early 90s -  my trusted Ensoniq KS-32 again salvaged from some old audio tape - archived for eternity here. I really pushed it to the limit there :)

Dance In The Sun (lo-fi sketch)

January 2000. This was the last session before I completely stopped for quite a long time due to a nasty injury.  I had hurled  myself down a steep hill on a skateboard (no I never really was a skater *sigh* long story - short version: I am an idiot). 

This was a session with a guy with a didgeridoo (Johannes if I remember correctly) and Michael Kratschmayr on guitar. I had my arm in a plaster already and programmed the sequencers and played keyboards with one hand :)

dreadFUSION - Zabuzebe

1999. 
Music: Oliver Bestwalter, Michael Kratschmayr

Sound: Jörg Ferl

Text and voice: Johannes Finke.

dreadFUSION  - Ohia

This is a great song. Period. Written and performed in 1998 by dreadFUSION: Atta Boison (drums, vocals), Steven Opoku (vocals), Michael Kratschmayr (guitars) and me (bass and hammond organ).

dreadFUSION - Okese Afrika

My dear old friend Markus came for a visit and decided to abuse my old acoustic guitar. It has only five ancient strings left and a hole in the back. I recorded it nevertheless :) The additional plinki plonki parts are the first results of my experiments with the vocoder of Ableton Live. Bass is my old Stingray.

Brighten Up The Coral (sketch)

Dabbling in music (mainly bass in several bands and piano) since the 80s on and off (mainly off now :)). Got into electronic music around 1999 and the samples here are from about that time. The band recordings are from the end of the 1990s with dreadFusion. My main focus shifted from making music to programming quite a while ago, so do not expect much activity here ;)
