I really dig how you use your synth arsenal to produce these ultra-organic esoteric sounds. Excellent.

eine wunderschöne welt hast du da gemalt. unterstreicht die mystik und magie des textes sehr gut!

Got a little sidetracked here, Yo Yo Yo

Pete (Rosen Corporation, S. A. Fred) and myself caught up for another live improvised hardware jam session.

PEAR Lab improvised 061023

Since I'm trying to learn the Scottish Gaelic language, I will be giving my tracks Gaelic names.
Mathan (pronounced MaHan) means bear as the picture suggests.

Dol Fodha Na Grèine

Rituals - Part 2 (Excerpt)

I wasn't really conscious of it on playing the parts, but I realised afterwards I had been inspired by the idea of a Fairy Tale, or Faery Tale, and that was because of these words written again by Andrea Campanile :) 

Hasel / Hazel

Unter Deiner grünen Kuppel / Beneath your green dome
Sitzt ein Kind / a child sits
Wartet / waiting
Auf die anderen / for the others
Warm ist es und stickig / it is warm and stuffy
unter deinem grünen Kuppeldach / beneath your green dome roof
Das Kind döst, ist schläfrig / the child is dozing and sleepy
Da! Ein Kichern! / Listen! There´s a giggle!
Kommen sie? / Are they coming?
Deine Blätter zittern / Your leaves shiver
Das Kind schaut auf / the child looks up
Da steht jemand / someone stand there
wo eben noch keiner war / where no one has just been
Nur schemenhaft erkennt sie etwas / it can only be seen vaguely
Die Gestalt ist grenzenlos, ohne Kontur / the shape is limitless, without contour
Steht ganz still und / stands very still and
schaut sie unverwandt an / looks at her steadfastly
Deine Blätter zittern, deine Kuppel ist grün / your leaves shiver, your dome is green
Das Kind sitzt und starrt gebannt / the child sits and stares in awe
Wer bist Du? / who are you?
Ich bin Hasel, flüstern tausend Blätter / I am Hazel, thousend leaves whisper
Du darfst mich sehen / you´re allowed to see me
Was willst Du? / what do you want?
Ich will dir erzählen / tell you about
von den Geheimnissen des Waldes / the secrets of the wood
Du sollst mein Lied singen lernen / you shall learn my song sing
wenn Du willst / if you like
Du darfst bei mir sein / you´re allowed tob e with me
Die Gestalt öffnet ihren Blättermantel / the shape opens its coat of leaves
Breitet ihre Arme aus / spreads her arms
Das Kind steht auf und / the child stands up and
schmiegt sich in die Arme von Hasel / hugs the arms of Hazel
Das Kind ist weg / the child is gone
Die anderen kommen und rufen / the others come and call
Doch sie werden sie niemals wieder finden / but they will never find her
Warm ist es und stickig unter / it is warm and stuffy
Deinem grünen Blätterdach … / beneath your green roof of leaves
Hasel / Hazel

Der Märchenwald

I've been making and releasing music under this moniker since 1998. 
Becoming more inspired with live improvisational approaches which are posted here and/ or on YouTube, alongside other tracks produced using Ableton and various hardware & software instruments.
I also release music as "The Rosen Corporation" & "Non Dreamers", and have several collaboration projects on going.
