What started as an experiment in December 2011 turned out to become a real project that resulted in a full album. The experiment was simple but challenging: try to create ambient soundscapes by exclusively using bass guitars. As an extra challenge, every track should be recorded as one take, one flow of sound, one improvisation.

The result is six long tracks, six sonic adventures in which the listener can get lost and discover new details and nuances with every spin, and a solo bass piece called "Below", which is an exception to the pattern. This track was written more than ten years ago. Somehow the vibe of this piece of music fits perfectly on this album and also functions as an interlude to the final track of the album, "Heliograph", which is a bit brighter in sound color than the other tracks on the album.

Welcome :-)

I'm an ambient musician, composer and producer from southwest Germany.
I started to produce music somewhen in the early 90ies, and up until now count more than 90 full-time albums (self-published as CD-Rs with stylish art work...) and a huge amount of music in digital formats...

My main focus is ambient, soundscapes and sometimes also retro space music (especially the teutonic variety, known as "Berlin School") but I stray also in neighbouring styles (dance, drum'n'bass, new age - and all such stuff...), and even pop, jazz and rock at times.

This space here, however, is reserved to my ambient work.

Please note:
I'm NOT a die-hard SoundCloud user - my main point in using this service is the possibility to share my music via the embedable players.
So communication via this lane is of smaller priority to me (I beg Your pardon - but if I tell You that I have a daytime job, a family to sustain and several older internet presences to maintain, hopefully You can understand...).

If You're seriously want to get in touch with me (I'm not against getting in touch with people as such... ;-) please contact me via Facebook:

(Unless You have a serious Facebook allergy - in that case, hopefully we'll find some other way...).

Thank You for Your attention :-)

Peace + good wishes,
Michael

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories--and I've been doing that since. Near the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in the songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past year, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on the wonderful Kompoz creation site. I hope you enjoy!
