First recorded flight with the Korg SAS-20. Heavily laden with effects. 

The Korg is a gift from http://soundcloud.com/kev7bx

Korg SAS-20 was the first Korg keyboard with a chord recognition computer onboard. It dates from 1983 and weighs 11kg. Solid piece of equipment.

The endless quest for the non-categorizeable. Thanks for listening, and watch your step ; ) (For Tolstoy-esque bio, keep reading. Keep coffee cup at close reach)

I'm in a constant process of thinking about things.  (Richard Brautigan)

Quaternity. An image with a four-fold structure, usually square or circular and symmetrical; psychologically, it points to the idea of wholeness.

These four pieces of music represent a path in sound to Quaternity.

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."

Solitary manipulator of soundproducing stuff. Mostly improvising in some way or many. 

You're free to download and use this music as you please. Sample,mix, fix or mangle it into unrecognisableness, but I want to hear the result. That's the only catch.
Can send you stems etc if wanted... 

Interested in collaborations/remixing/stuff.
Give feedback and hints as you see fit. Peer review is important in this kind of endeavour. I have no charts for these territories, no boundaries are in view, no limits.

Mixed with and mostly for headphones, not sure how it'll sound on sound systems. For some tracks it's advisable to turn the sound up, but some tracks are quite loud. I don't know what I'm doing half(or more of) the time.
Time is elusive and opportunities for spending time on my music comes and goes fast. An hour here and two hours there...I need coffee...

Ich bin ein privater Hobby-Musiker im Bereich experimenteller und algorithmischer Musik. Etliche Geräte entwickelte ich auch, um damit Sounds für meine Bedürfnisse zu erzeugen. Auftritte habe ich keine, wollte ich auch nie. Musik ist für mich nur ein Element, das in meiner Freizeit den gewissen Freiraum bringt.
Grundlegend arbeite ich gerne mit echten Synthesizern, Plugins verwende ich daher persönlich fast nie, und Computer auch nur dort wo es nicht anders geht. Viel Spaß beim anhören der Tracks, habe den Account auf Unlimited geändert, damit ich in regen Abständen ohne Begrenzung über die zwei Stunden-Grenze hochladen kann.

Forward in which direction? First flight with SAS 20
