Nata had the good idea to add her voice on one of my tracks (Kind of Superfluous https://soundcloud.com/samybr/kind-of-supefluous).
I never imagined a voice when I made this music and this came as a very good surprise. Thank you Nata!

Composer, Singer/Songwriter of ethereal folk, dreamy ambient and chilled out electronica .

I first started posting my music on Soundcloud in late 2012. 

I've found it to be a very inspiring and supportive community of music creators. 

I have also made friends with great people and collaborated with some really talented artists on here.

Thanks to all who support - It means a lot to me :)

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'm interested in all music styles, especially classical, jazz and rock. Sometimes I try to connect non-connectable... I'm an architect by profession - maybe that's why form and construction  in music are very important to me.

I'm open to any kind of cooperation!

Enjoy!

I'm a Swedish composer & lyricist. Plays bass in The Backbeat Conspiracy & Dödsdansen and whatever in Maskinpark.

First album, "That's Sin", is out on Bandcamp @ https://tethsin.bandcamp.com/album/thats-sin

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement.

Playing and creating some music, drawing cartoons and baking bread. That's what I like to do!
I play guitar and mandolin. I used to play sitar and learn Hindustani music - but not anymore - so you might hear some influence in my music, especially the pieces with mandolin. I don't play accordion, despite my profile photo. I wish I could pay it though, and many other instruments.

Some selected reviews written by my cat in the in-house Music & Arts magazine: 

"The equivalent of an acoustic waterboarding!"
"Music? What music?"
"Just noise"
"No place to sleep with all these instruments"
"A daily torture"
"I wish I was deaf"
"Noise arrogantly called music"
"A pleasure... when it stops"
"Can't even unsubscribe to this"

I'm very glad to have stumbled upon very fine artists on Soundcloud and honored to have collaborated with some very talented individuals.
