Windos 1≠1
The piece is based on a simple harmonic modulation whose chords are stretched over the entire length of the piece. The individual chord tones, however, are not even but broken up into manifold glissando movements and meet only at a few points. The result is a constant oscillation between harmony and disharmony. So a layer of constant of sound was created that runs silently in the background, so to speak, and only becomes audible in a few places. Like when you open and close windows and let sounds in for moments. I froze some of these moments (with the IRCAM verb), which also leads to these magical noisy sounds that might remind you of orchestral sounds. Some of these sounds are doubled and then processed differently, so that they take different developments from an identical starting point: 1≠1. The sound material is entirely made of sawtooth waves that have been heavily processed.

Windwos 1≠1

For my dear friend Luna who passed away March 25, 2023.  Sounds created to mourn the loss of a loving connection.  May you rest in the twilight dear friend.

Luna

been a while - bleeding busy with work and a house move ... hopefully getting there with the new 'music studio' over the next few weeks :)

here's a little optimistic tune which is nowhere near publishable, but then again, not many of my recording are  :)

hope you like it anyway ...

A tired mind if of a god
Can see the truth no longer
A tired beast don't care how strong
The human beast is stronger
A tired mind if of a god
Created men and allowed them to mutate
A tired mind if of a god
Soon realised it is too late

The human mind so motivated
By curiosity and greed
Capacity for good And evil
No consequence for either deed
Food, shelter, love and children
And their survival guaranteed
They set about wholesale destruction
Of all the laws the lord decreed


And now godlike in every sense
The human mind seems tired too
Created an intelligence 
With no master to answer to
No petty needs, no limits to ability
Evolution we cannot foresee
With wonder we sit back and find
Gods create what ends their kind

Mother (Wading through the Shoals of Time Possessed by an Inverted Love)

Outrageously expressive vocalist and dancer, regrettably trapped in the tone-deaf body of a cage fighter - hence eternally death-embracing Goth
Deeply religious, yet extremely critical of a clearly unfinished project - Lord, what were thee thinking?
According to many, blasphemous, as I do not oppose a certain fallen angel. It just seems so obvious to me that this creature ('creation, see what I did there?), is just as necessary as the dear Lord himself - and is still trying to clean up some of the mess left behind. I think...
There are times when I've been known to express political thoughts, but only ever to desperately call for revolution and/or declare violence as acceptable as long as it is directed at fascists (and only as long as the good lord does not himself deal with these dickheads by bestowing upon them erectile disfunction and reserving them special rooms in hell). 
Strictly for freedom, opportunity, love, food, shelter, education, health, empathy and dreams. For a true, science based and supported, social democracy. Absolutely not in favour of any form of dictatorship, be that fascist or socialist. However, and to be clear - I am not somewhere in the middle, nor on a fence ;)

Musically, I like to think that I am influenced by classical music, as well as death and doom metal, gospel, blues, country, 80's pop, east-german 80's punk, gothic rock, Enya and, of course, Abba, however, when I listen to the stuff I churn out when I'm experiencing just the right level of depression, I can't help but be reminded of classics like 'Da Da Da' by Trio or 'I'm too sexy for my shirt' by Right Said Fred.
I'd love to liken my voice to heroes like David Bowie, Nick Cave, Blixa Bargeld, Peter Murphy, Andrew Eldritch, Dave Gahan, Marc Almond, Peter Steele and so many other real singers out there, but have to honestly say that, by carefully resisting the need to actually hit notes befitting the underlying musical arrangements, harmonies and ambience, I've managed to create a perfectly detuned and emotionally confused, yet consistently dislikeable style of my own. I wish I could say it grows on you ...

As all my remaining friends despair of my tyrannical tendencies (proudly displayed by diva-like tantrums) when participating in collaborative attempts to achieve somewhat melodious and/or rhythmic proclamations, I tend to squeeze these out all by my lone self. Should anyone out there feel capable (and inspired) to deal with an eternally intoxicated (by his own ego) and therefore very very angry individual, that (who?) is yet confusingly happy to sensually scream along any old tune (that does not glorify fascism), then please get in touch. 

Also happy if you get in touch if none of the above makes any sense to you, but you do like one or two of my songs - there must be someone out there ...

Thank you kindly for stopping by...
