Composer, writer and producer specialising in the epic music and stories of Scotland. If theatre is spectacle, then the theatre of Scotland has us spellbound.

A brown punk band from Norway.
A mix of 90's punk, 70's and 80's hard rock with a hint of early thrash metal, dance band, new wave and grunge.

I'm one of those few people that actually listen to your entire tune before reposting it. I love music, and not just my own. If your music is really good I'll put it in either a Spotify or Tidal playlist or both and it will get listened to every day.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

I can still remember the new smell of my first vinyl record.  I remember peeling off the plastic carefully to save that hype sticker and carefully slipping the disc in all its luster from the jacket with the static tugging at my sleeve.   Putting on the headphones, my hands behind my head as I reclined, I must have had a huge smile as I soaked it all in front to back.  I fell in love with music.   Everything about it.  Pumping drums, riffs, driving bass and the big open tone of an acoustic piano.  I really tuned into lyrics too, bathed in the overall space of the effects and enveloped in the rhythm.  

My first multi-tracker recorder was a Fostex 4-track purchased with a friend at age 17.  We took turns bringing it home and recording onto cassette tape and often collaborated on our material.  I still have a few of those early recordings.  I was a kid with a drive for music but I had nobody to learn from who had ever been in the songwriting business.  I was on my own.

My cousin and I formed a band in High School that took on many forms with members coming and going.  But the late 80's to early 90's "Darius" was a staple on the local circuit, playing 40 song nights at various clubs, with a quarter of those being original tunes.  I loved the stage, the camaraderie of the band and the feeling of performing songs that I was part of creating. My favorite part was the audience reciprocation which only drove me to give more of myself to the craft, always hoping to deliver something special that they could appreciate.  

I released my first single "Somewhere Between Mercury and Mars" in 2013 which you can play here on SoundCloud or purchase from Amazon and other streaming services.  It landed in the top 50 of most played tunes in the Guitar Center Songwriting Contest that year.  There were over 10000 submissions to the contest too!  My video entry for the making of the song scored first place, an incredible honor for sure.

Today I'm more driven than ever to create and play.  I spend a lot of time in my home studio, on the guitar and in front of the piano.  I find recording fulfilling and challenging.  Listening to a decent finished mix is truly rewarding for me, I cannot get enough!  

I work on covers in the studio as well.  Its amazing how much you can learn about the process from deconstructing a tracked tune and recreating it from scratch.  Vocal doubling, harmony guitars, mixing clear and distorted amp sounds, quirky percussion, it all goes practically unnoticed until you approach it like a puzzle that needs to be reassembled.  What if Roger Waters never put the lengthy feedback echo after "Hello" in Comfortably Numb? What made him think to do that?  "Born to Run" has a glockenspiel alongside a guitar.  It brings up the treble in the song which prevents it from sounding too muddy, stroke of genius.  Though it sounds like a child's toy if you focus on it too much, it does what its supposed to, it raises the high end of the EQ.  

I hope you like what you hear and share it along.  We are bombarded with music these days as it seems everyone has access to recording software.  In that respect I'm humbled that you take the time to listen!
