Happy Summer Everyone!

“Uplifting Chillout” - Prock 2.0 style. The main guitar-synth tune is played by hands on 4x4 Maschine+ pads in a scale mode, very handy :) Also Ableton Live 11, Arturia, IK One, UAD Oxide Tape, Teletronix LA-2A, FabFilters.

My mancave on the cover. Its also featured in the new The Midlife Synthesist synth jam! Get a listen to his YT channel and get hooked to David Attenborough like talks on music tech and anything of important in life:

Ultramarine is mostly made on Maschine+, which is no longer here (but missed device very much, collecting dukats :) (AND NOW '21 it is back home! :). It’s cool but I need more knobs, sliders and LED pads as you can see :) And my music piggy bank was not fat enough, so needed to fund the ultimate to my taste Arturia Polybrute. Roland Versevab DAW-lessy drives beloved Moog Subsequent 37CV and new Polybrute. Prock Studio is finally complete … for now. Can't deny, music technology either soft/hardware is a good inspiration driver and helps to express what plays in your head. Get inspired with any unique music style or instruments you play! TNX!

Fugaze

Can you name a oldie-goldie Electronica song this one is dedicated to? Early space-electronic music lover could tell one of my fave track by the name ... maybe by the vibe? In the video for the song four dudes were dressed up into space suites and helmets (nope, not Daft Punk, but well French). One holding and playing Moog Model D on his laps. Just like the one you hear here. Always wanted to play Space music! 

When playing this track I came across documentary discovering a trace they  spotted from above. It was left by some magic object flying over in between poles in a matter of minutes. What is it?

Special blend of Moog Model D and Arturia Pigments on lead. Korg ARP2600m, more Pigments, MiniV3, plus UAD Opal synth. Mastered with FabFilters, UADx, IK, Ableton Live 12. As always the new and a dozen other tracks are downloadable on my accounts, thanks!

Kameruun - E Ngel Laawol

Winner of the week: 🥇2

Cameroon is a country in Central Africa. It borders Nigeria, Chad, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. The country has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest. The largest cities are the capital, Yaoundé, and the port city of Douala.

Cameroon is governed by an authoritarian regime, and freedom of expression is severely restricted. Corruption and human rights violations are widespread, with torture and arbitrary arrests occurring regularly.

On January 1, 1960, French Cameroon gained independence following a referendum and the expiration of the UN mandate and renamed itself the Republic of Cameroon. In December 1960, the 15th United Nations General Assembly decided that the trust territories should also be granted independence. This could be achieved through full independence, free association with an already independent state, or integration into an independent state. The British trustees denied their trust territories the first option—full independence. The north of the British Mandate trust territory therefore voted in a referendum to join Nigeria, while the southern part opted for federation with the Republic of Cameroon. Independence and simultaneous annexation took place on October 1, 1961. The state thus formed was called the Federative Republic of Cameroon. This is the reason why two official languages, French and English, are now recognized in Cameroon.

Republic of Sierra Leone - Nor Dae Fall

Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, bordering Guinea to the north and east, Liberia to the southeast and the Central Atlantic to the west. The country's capital and largest city is Freetown.

In contrast to the Sahel zone further north, there were no large empires such as the Mali Empire in what is now Sierra Leone. In the 17th century, the English dominated the slave trade on the Sierra Leonean coast. In 1808, the Freetown Peninsula was formally declared a British crown colony. After the country gained independence from Great Britain in 1961, it was declared a republic almost ten years later after fierce controversy.

After a decade of bloody civil war from 1991 to 2002, which claimed tens of thousands of lives, the country is busy rebuilding itself and coming to terms with its recent history. The country is heavily indebted and is one of the poorest countries in the world. The Ebola fever epidemic that broke out in 2014 has further worsened the humanitarian emergency. The United Nations Development Program lists Sierra Leone as one of the countries with low levels of human development.

Lietuvos Respublika - Mes Pakeliui

Lithuania is the southernmost of the three Baltic states. It borders the Baltic Sea to the west and shares borders with Latvia, Belarus, Poland, and Russia (exclave of Kaliningrad Oblast). Lithuania is the largest country in the Baltic region, both in terms of area and population.

From approximately 1253 to 1795, Lithuania was a Grand Duchy, and from 1569 onward, as Poland-Lithuania, it was part of a real union. With the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, its territory passed to Russia and Prussia, which lost its share to the Duchy of Warsaw and Russia in 1807, until Lithuania became a sovereign republic in 1918 with the Act of Independence of Lithuania. After the Soviet occupation (1940), interrupted by the German occupation (1941–1944), it regained its independence in 1990. As part of the EU enlargement in 2004, Lithuania became a member of the European Union and a member of NATO. Since January 1, 2015, Lithuania has been the 19th member of the Eurozone.

Lithuania has a population of over three million (as of 2025). The capital and largest city of Lithuania is Vilnius (612,000 inhabitants). Other major cities are Kaunas (311,500), Klaipėda (165,000), and Šiauliai (117,000). Panevėžys is the fifth largest city with 88,000 inhabitants.

Lithuania - Mes Pakeliui

Leaning on a bannister
The light reflecting in your eye
Blood drains from my brain
My knees are weak, I sway

Your eyes betray the smile
Turn your face away
Look at me out the corner of your eye
My lips return the smile

Step away from the porch
Under full moon, on the bottom stair
Lean into my shoulder
Arms around me I am

Your eyes convey the smile
Turn your face away
Look at me out the corner of one eye
My lips return the smile

Can’t deny this feeling that
I’ve been here before, but may never be again

Stroll along the sidewalk
Kicking stones, breathing silently
Could this night last forever?
Knees are weak, I pray

Your eyes betray the smile
Turn your face away
Look at me out the corner of your eye
My lips return the smile

Can’t deny this feeling that
I’ve been here before, but may never be again 


Blood Drains From My Brain

On The Way

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years...


“I can do many things so intensively that perfection isn’t even necessary.”
