Lyrics:

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said

Something was wrong 
this spring was dead 
something was wrong 
this spring was dead 

A sun reflection 
on the dish
no consolation 
in the air
I went out
lost in the park
mile for mile
lost in the dark 

What you said
what you said
don't get sad

Once I figured out
the unwritten truth 
the jugdes gavel 
still didn't fall

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said 
what you said
what you said
don't get sad

You never really asked me
Yyu never really asked me

We lost our glue 
in challenging times
I've no clue 
how to fix the crack

Fullstop

Present Paradox

The Crack

Support / Buy / Stream

these are short songs ,poems more than musical songs really,that are meant to emphasize the lyrics that address what I think are critical issues for all of us : our relationship to each other/the planet/ourselves.. so please have a listen and let me know your thoughts. nothing fancy/cell phone recordings/take care be safe

Welcome friends!
Hope you find something you like here. I sing and play some guitar, piano, bass and drums (do not record my own drums due to lack of fitting recording environment-unfortunately). You'll find some collaborations with other SC artists too. I have a job in a totally different field (doctor of cardiology). I am not into AI generated music.
Let's keep this place peaceful, respectful and honest (like any place should be kept)!

Rock, Rock, Rock and no Alternative …
Rock is not dead, you can validate the evidences here.
People who want to get mellow might be wrong on this site, but are more than welcome to take up some energy here 😀
I am playing guitar and Bass. Keyboards and Drums are programmed.
Mix and Mastering was done in the „N.o.b.S. Moonshine Studios“ in Mainz Germany.
Nearly everything had been recorded during the night, sometimes at daylight on weekends.

The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.

Experimental Elektronik 
Meine eigenwillige Interpretation von elektronischer Musik. Ich bin beeinflusst von meinen alten Helden- alle aufzuzählen würde den Rahmen sprengen. Nur einige: DJ Hell, Dave Clarke, Laurent Garnier, Surgeon, Dopplereffekt, Drexciya, Arpanet, die ganzen Detroit Leute, Aphex Twin und eigentlich alle die den Sound der 90er geprägt haben.  Das waren so viele. Verdammt gute Musiker.
Vielen Dank für,s Folgen.
Ich schaffe es momentan arbeitsmäßig nicht alles gegenzuhören. Ich hoffe Ihr verzeiht mir das. Keine KI in den Tracks..

Welcome!
All tunes are performed, recorded, arranged and mixed in my personal home studio: next album scheduled for 2025. Work in progress…
I am thankful for your precious listening here and also if you pay me a visit on Bandcamp.

On Earth One, all of the music and lyrics are written by Dragonsail, aka Greg Hester. Likewise, all of the playing and vocal performances and recording and mixing are done by Dragonsail as well. But that's not as interesting as what's happening on Earth Two.

On Earth Two, these songs are created and performed by a scheming diva named Surrenda and her enthusiastic but clueless dog sidekick Bruce. Additional songwriting is provided by their septuagenarian feline keyboardist, Catatonia, and Onree - the sweet pup with the mean shaker. There's also some old geezers in the band who've been with Surrenda for a couple of decades who actually play real instruments, but they mostly loom in the shadows.

The range of styles in their music includes funk, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock and disco, which they tear away at with whatever instruments and found objects they have stowed away with them aboard their ship, the Club Dragonsail.
