At first I wanted to make a beat tape...I think I ended up doing a mix of lo-fi beats, Electronic, Kraftwerk and chiptunes. =)

The theme of this album are computers and things related to them.
I spent a good portion of my life with computers, gaming, making music, chatting, watching series or just wasting time...

After starting with the story of a typewriter that wants to be a computer, Konrad Zuse creates the "Elektronenhirne", which bring you fun and nostalgia with "38911 Basic Bytes free" and "Good old Amiga Days". 

While "Cryptocurreny Miner" relaxingly make your Bitcoins go up in smoke, "Kasparov`s Nemesis" is Deep Blue.

On from Track 7 "Cyberwar", we come to the serious stuff. War starts, the evil intelligences Colossus and Grim Reaper  try to exterminate mankind, an Artificial Hero saves the day, the bad "guys" get dumped in Agbogbloshie and the Peace Algorithm grants prosperity to mankind for all time.

This is my debut album. I started working on it in January 2019. Im making music since 1991. So it just took me 28 years to get past sidetracking, losing interest in a project, always starting new projects I never finish. I broke these chains, focused on this project and got it done.
I hope you like the outcome. =)
cheers

Its about a typewriter that wants to be a computer....^^


lyrics

I want to be a Computer
Computer
I want to be a Computer


I want to have a processor
I want to have RAM
I want to have a soundchip
I want to process data....data....data
I want to be a Computer
Computer
I want to be a Computer


I want to be a C64
with fancy sprites
I want to be an AMIGA
And sing with PAULA...lalala
I want to be an ATARI ST
or even a PC
I want to process data....data....data
I want to be a Computer
Computer
I want to be a Computer


I want more
I am a typewriter
I want more
I am a typewriter
I want more (3x)
I want to be a Computer
I want more (3x)
I want to be a Computer
I want more

I want to be a Computer

This track honors Konrad Zuse, the German computer pioneer.

Vocal samples taken from the "Abendschau", 28.03.1958, a report named "Das erste in Deutschland konstruierte Elektronengehirn" produced by the Hessischer Rundfunk. A BIG THANK YOU to the Hessischer Rundfunk for officially allowing me to use the samples in my track!!!

My first computer was a C64...that was 1988 and I still love the blue startup screen with the blinking cursor...<3
Playing C64 games on emulator on a regular basis even today....=D

38911 Basic Bytes Free

I started making music on an Amiga 500 back in 1991 using a Soundtracker derivative called "DOC Tracker". It had 3 discs with samples, the first two were the legendary original sample discs ST-01 and ST-02. This track is an hommage to my happy times back then and honors Karsten Obarski, the creator of Soundtracker.

Good old Amiga Days....do you remember....?
AAAAMMMIGAAAAAAAAA!
