O this is such a smiling song - even though I can't understand the words... there is so much happy coming through....yay!  :-)

Waltz of the Hedgehog Maidens

A little world premiere: my first german song released to the public. It's called "Peinlich" and is about embarrassing situations in daily life.

Peinlich (Richard Kapp, März 2014)

Wenn du jemanden siehst
der sich dann als bekannt erwies
als du schon längst weiter liefst
weil du dich immer in Gedanken vertiefst
dann versteck dich nicht wie ein Eremit
sondern singe dieses Lied:

ur ur peinlich
ich weiß, ich weiß
aber in der Peinlichkeit sind wir alle vereint

Wenn du romantisch dinierst
und dich dann ganz furchtbar genierst
weil sie dann bei dir entdeckt
dass da was zwischen deinen Zähnen steckt
dann versteck dich nicht wie ein Eremit
sondern singe dieses Lied:

ur ur peinlich
ich weiß, ich weiß
aber in der Peinlichkeit sind wir alle vereint

SOLO

Wenn du den ganzen Tag
das Gefühl hast, dass dich niemand mag
oder dich mit Stirnrunzeln erblickt
nur weil auf deinem Popsch ein Kaugummi pickt
dann versteck dich nicht wie ein Eremit
sondern singe dieses Lied:

ur ur peinlich
ich weiß, ich weiß
aber in der Peinlichkeit sind wir alle vereint

Glamour and The Baybes - Black Isle

Imagine an old-fashioned jazz club, dark and filled with smoke. A singer, five top notch musicians, breathtaking improvisations. Now transpose the same scene into the year 3147! SKNAIL, a Swiss composer and producer, has done just that and presents a 2nd album of visionary, organic jazz, some sort of a musical sci-fi novel, in which the « not-quite-humans-anymore » play the music of their ancestors, digging it up from some faraway place in their memory. The warmth of the acoustic instruments confronts cold electronics and takes the listener on a journey into the jazz of the distant future, delicate and pure. From their futuristic and ultra-technological world the Snail Charmers are transmitting an important message with the help of Nya’s voice.

Haywyre - Contagious (Hans Baier remix)

Richard Kapp, born 1976, is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, living in the city of Vienna, Austria. He composes, sings and plays his very own quirky but touching music. Some say he sounds a bit like The Divine Comedy, others say Richard reminds them of Rufus Wainwright or Ben Folds.
After all, Richard thinks he sounds like Kapp. His music is always fresh and surprising and you never know what to expect. Living between sarcasm, melancholy and hope, he makes use of all kind of styles without forcing them to come together. He is brave enough to use quirky touches of Jazz, Classical Music fragments or Folk if he thinks that it supports the meaning more than pop can do. Actually, Richard does not give a damn about styles and categories at all.
