Monument [Stumpy Intelligenz]

I have always had an admiration of electronic synthesizer music. Particularly that of the the late 1970's and consequently the golden age of the 1980's, where groups like Depeche Mode, Japan, Gary Numan, OMD, Human League made their mark.

A bizarre influence was Mantovani to name a few. 

He was an Anglo-Italian conductor, composer and light orchestra-styled entertainer with a cascading strings musical signature

All these musicians were a great influence on myself and the music I now produce.

Along with the bass guitar, in which in my opinion works so well with this genre of music, I am happy with the sound produced in my compositions.
So here I am, producing my own brand of the quintessence sound.

music journalist, writing at the intersection of music and politics. creator of ‘class war radio' and former host of the ‘make politics boring again' podcast.

I have always loved to try and create music - and I have an eclectic taste!  

Now that I'm older I can listen to a much larger range of music than I did when I was younger - and appreciate it a lot more.

AI has given me the opportunity to produce some tracks which make me smile, I upload them to Soundcloud to share with family & friends and if anyone else likes a track or two, even better!

Der Synthesizer war schon immer für mich ein magisches Instrument.
In den 80ger und 90ger Jahren war er für mich unbezahlbar.
Jetzt im Zeitalter der virtuellen Instrumente und Homerecording Studios
sieht das ganze schon viel anderst aus. 
Inspiriert von Gruppen wie  Depeche Mode und Ultravox u.v.m habe ich meinen eigenen Musikstil gefunden.
Ich hoffe er gefällt Euch !
Tolle Musikvideos zu meinen Liedern findet ihr in auf YouTube

The synthesizer has always been a magical instrument for me.
In the 80s and 90s it was priceless to me.
Now in the age of virtual instruments and home recording studios
the whole thing looks a lot different. Inspired by groups like Depeche Mode and Ultravox and many more, I found my own style of music.
I hope you like him !
You can find great music videos for my songs on YouTube
