☀💛💚🎶The most sonorous and sparkling Ludvig Van Beethoven’s 254th Birthday onwards...

As most of us is aware Beethoven lives forever everywhere we go and how his music has always effect to every day life so many incredible ways...

In my part I can finally share one of my own variations inspired by Ludwig Van Beethovens Diabelli Variations Op. 120 aka 33 Variations...

This has been recorded and filmed during the Theatre production "33 Variations" at Åbo Svenska Teatern in the Autumn 2013 and finally the recorded material have been able to restored after so many years...

Thank you very much for the invitation directors Dick Holmström and  and to have this ones in the life time opportunity to play all those beautiful and dazzling variations for the first time in my life and keep them in my heart until to this day,  composed and created by the one and only, Maestro Ludwig Van Beethoven...

Psychosynthesis - Variation Nr. 1 inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven´s Diabelli Variations Op. 120 (Excerpt from the live performance in 33 Variations by the play by Moisés Kaufman, inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's Diabelli Variations premiered in Åbo Svenska Teatern 2013. Originally débuted on Broadway on March 9, 2009, starring Jane Fonda.)...

“…The music is absolutely beautiful but it gives you also the dramatic side... Pianist Pauli Kari characterized the Diabelli Variations with classily… His own variation from the theme of Diabelli´s walz was also fascinating…”
– Irmeli Haapanen, Turun Sanomat News 21st October 2013

Psychosynthesis - Variation Nr. 1 inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven´s Diabelli Variations Op. 120

This track was created for the pianist's gf, cause she had a headache and asked us to stop playing our crazy music, so we made this especially to appease her, a delicate little flower that had to be appeased, for us to hold claim to our regular night of recording our music. It worked. The track turned out exactly how it was supposed to and the musicianship in this work is just phenomenal in how these two instruments can touch someone's soul without being overwhelming or alien to regular people. People that never developed any musical skillsets, should still be able to appreciate what we've done here, for it can literally be used to help an infant fall asleep when it seems to be distressed at night. Trust me. It works.

Unicorn to the Max

A real freak out bassline with lots of variation, kept on track by the old school organ sound from the keys and a steady beat. It's not flawless, but the energy we put in this track makes for impressive fast paced solo work on thee bass guitar and don't forget that none of it is rehearsed, but recorded in one go without any preparation other than agreeing perhaps on a key or a genre for the track, but the rest is all muscle memory and playing by feeling instead of memory. 

You have to learn this and it takes time. The first ten years I played mostly by memory, which gave me solid foundation of muscle memory; activated as soon as I plug in and feel the deep vibrations going through my body and mind, while my hands always seem to know where all the right notes are, making sollutions come effortlessly...  

Not to brag, I would love to teach our method to people and guide them into the world of freeflow music and how to frame what is played afterwards as I don't register the music when I'm playing in the heat of the moment, but I will discover the structure of the recorded track once I can listen to it.

Psychosynthesis creates new experimental minimalistic piano and electronic music which has been compared to the music of Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis. Improvisations that combine mostly Synthesizers and other keyboards create tunes from underground film music to game music and thru pop, disco, techno, jazz and krautrock caricatures to meditative music in a style of Commodore 64 admiring the SID. Produced by Homespun Record Company.

*Introduction:*
We are Ludo Loco, an Experimental Independent Improvisation Ensemble from Leiden, the Netherlands. 
We are an ensemble with Jeroen Keereweer on the keyboard and Robert Veltema on the bass guitar.
Ludo means, in Latin: to Play/Mock/Tease/Trick and Loco just means: Crazy, Mad or Insane, in Spanish. When you listen to our music you'll understand why that is our band's name. '

*The Ludo Loco Way of Making music:*
Hi, I'm Robert from Ludo Loco and I would like to tell you about the Ludo Loco methods of how we make our music and why the end result is always unique and original. 
All of our songs, already over 160 tracks, have only ever been played once and  this is always recorded on a computer. We are not capable of any reproduction of our tracks. In fact, in my case after I finish playing the bass part, I usually have no idea what I have just played and I have listen to the recording to realize if it was any good, authentic, original, but above all, doesn't contain any ugly errors that would ruin the whole track.

We usually need two takes, because there's only two of us and we usually want: bass, keys, drums (keyboard drumming) and sometimes an electric guitar. So the second take is usually the keys, if the bass and drums were laid down first. Sometimes we record piano and bass simultaneously, which often results in very sensitively played music with a lot of emotion poured in it from our inner muses.
 
We have the skills to create music in the heat of the moment, without it being erratic, random or filled with errors. It has to be great on the first try. Though we do have nights were we really suck, but those tracks we just discard and we move on.

I honestly haven't heard any other ensembles or bands that come close to our unique Ludo Loco Sound, or that match our Playing Style.
So, everything is improvised and because we've played together so much in our lives, we respond very well and immediate to each other, as the song evolves and grooves into different intensities, building up, playing variations, climaxing, bringing it down eventually with a proper ending. 

I think that if people know their instrument very well and have become bored with playing fixed songs and don't like rehearsing the same tracks over and over (like I was), they could learn how to cast off these chains of regular, written music, and develop the skill of playing by feeling only, while still being able to implement a song structure while you record it. I say people who know their instrument very well, because you need the muscle memory to help you guide your improvised track.

At least for me, this way of creating spontaneous, authentic, original music, is way more fun than practicing with a band and getting it all perfectly memorized. 
I use that space in my brain; from not memorizing anything; for allowing me to play with a lot of feeling and be creative, but also critical of how I sound, whether it is nice to listen to, whether I'm playing something totally new. Just monitoring myself and directing the creative process mentally into the next phrase of a song. I love when I make it sound cool and groovy, so that's what I usually prime my head for and for the rest it's just about having great fun with playing my part. 

In all, I have yet to hear anything anywhere that compares to our music style. I would love to know about others who make music this way. When you talk about improvising, people automatically think of Jazz, but with Jazz you have to know the standards and you're kind of only allowed to improvise over a standard from the real book. Jazz is kind of weird like that. 

We use freedom of expression to the max and I feel like we are doing something good, but also very rare... It's definitely not mainstream music, but as a niche, there's still many people who will enjoy our music and if we can find a way to reach these people, then we will be enriching their lives with something that I feel is very special.

I started mixing dance music at the age of 18. My style is a mix of different techno styles. listen to my Techno productions  on Sound Cloud
