The title is motivated by some new sounds I have created. The sounds for Blofeld, Microwave, ANA 2 and other synths are partly orientated on the sound of orchestral instruments from the woodwind section.
But since this is a classic EM track, I designed the video accordingly. There are hints of electronic music from the 80s/90s in the song and the video.

Just as our last episode aired during Black History Month in the UK, this one arrives in time for Black History Month in the USA!

What meeans "ⓁichtⒷildⒼestalter" ? 
Could be translated as  >>LightPictureDesigner<<
In the past, a photographer was also called a light-image designer (LichtBildGestalter in german).

All tunes I publish here are free works and non-commercial!
I returned after the hearing loss (deaf in the right ear) and a long abstinence to electronic music in 2014/16.
While I used to make music exclusively on hardware synthesizers in my early days, a number of virtual instruments are now in use. My DAW is Ableton Live with a lot of Plugins ;-)
For many years, I have only been able to hear on one hearing. This makes it difficult for me to mix them but I give my best.
Besides music, photography is my great passion, that's also where my artist name comes from. Therefore all pictures and photos that can be seen on Sondcloud are my own work.
Enjoy the music, the pictures and have fun!
