The world’s gone wobbly — the floor tilts, the stars giggle, and gravity’s just a rumor.

'SPiNNiNG' is a carousel dream dipped in melted color and looped on tape — a 6/8 swirl of upside-down laughter and sideways light. Organs wheeze, guitars shimmer, the crowd fades into cotton-candy fog. Every fall is a flight; every spin a new sky.

Round and round we go —
upside down, inside out,
no one knows where the colors flow.

"SPiNNiNG" 

Spinning around, 
upside down, 
it's as great as can be; 
then you turn rightside up, 
and fall down, 
and you get a broken knee.

Life is good, life is hard, why do we have to make it harder for each other?

So Much In This Life - It's Hard Enough

So Much In This Life (It's Hard Enough)

Finding #1 for Mellotron and Buchla Modular System. Recorded November 15th 2025 in Naperville IL USA

Saturday November 15th 2025 Finding #1

Blending the soul of alt-country with the spirit of Día De Los Muertos, “Waiting” tells the story of love lost, desperate pleas for forgiveness, and fate’s cruel grip on the heart.
Haunting cries of pedal steel guitar, woven with the vintage warmth of a Fender Rhodes and the eerie beauty of a Mellotron, carry this acoustic tale of lust, loss, and redemption. Let the ghosts of memory guide you.

Waiting

It's Happening Again

Here is a rediscovered classic track from the now mostly forgotten Norwegian electronica pioneer Jan Mikkel Jarelesen. In the second half of the 1970s he released two groundbreaking electronica records called  CO₂ and Equinor. This is track 4 and the lead single from  CO₂. They did not get any traction outside of Norway and were banned from radio play already in 1978, despite being 100% instrumental. They were both a sharp critique of the oil industry, which Norway was new to at the time. Oil was found in the Norhtern sea in December of 1969, and full scale production did not start before 1971. At the time the only audible public media available in the country was radio and TV available through NRK (Norsk Riks Kringkastin=Norwegian domestic broadcasting), which is owned and run by the state. Such sharp critique of the new wealth generator was deemed unfitting by the state owned media at the time. The records faded into obscurity, but they still sound the same in 2025, and even though many things have changed over the years, a lot of things are still the exact same.

And is any of this actually real? Or is this just fanta sea? I will let you make up your own mind.

lyrics:
I can name a few things that you should not have said
All of these baleful things should've stayed in your head
I can name a few things that you should not have said
All of these baleful things should've stayed in your head
I hope you hate yourself
Its for my benefit
I hope you- yourself
I'm addicted to it

I have felt so many things you could not comprehend
It's no wonder I so desperately want my end
I have felt so many things you
It's no wonder
My end
It's about time, you know
Do you know why it's this way?
How are things for you at home?
How about I ruin your day?

Corruption of innocence
Malicious compliance 
Hate is the eighth sacrament
Beat the adolescent
Biological neglect
Such a pure mind to dissect
Insist that the defective were born that way

I don't want my last day
I just don't understand
I don't think I hate you (Love)
I just need reprimand (Love)
I don't think I need you (Love)
But I don't know if I can quit love (Love)
It's not good if it hurts you
I will help you understand

Fallen Down

Finding #3 for Buchla Modular, Mellotron, and Lyra-8.

Wednesday November 26th 2025 Finding #3

I am, on the maternal side, Haplogroup T
(Subclade T2) and, on the paternal side,
Haplogroup Q (M242)!
I have been walking the earth since the
early '50s. I am an ex-mill-rat,
ex-(Calumet)region-rat, ex-chemist,
dead-mathematician, ex-programmer,
musician, composer, earth-walker.
I have two musical directions, I play,
perform, and teach traditional Japanese
classical music for the shakuhachi
(an end blown bamboo flute), and I play,
compose, and perform experimental
electronic music. All the electronic music I
compose and perform is and can be done
in real-time (i.e. I don't use multi-tracking
or computer manipulation for my compositions).
Whenever I record anything, either electronic
or on the shakuhachi, it is done in real-time
just as it would have been done on the stage
or in an intimate setting.

Sometimes I pretend that I am a musician. It never turns out the way I want  but it is very fun.

Most of the sounds you hear here comes from VST instruments that try to mimic the old synthesizers from the 70's and 80's. And most of them are freeware.
You can also hear an old Eminent organ and a Gibson SG.

Thank you for listening!

Greetings and thank you kindly for listening and reading. Gracias, grazie, Danke, mercí, dyakyu, shukhran, dank u, spasibo, děkuju! Slava Ukraïni to listeners in Ukraine.

Music has always been a fundamental part of my life, even if not always at the immediate forefront of my activities. I've studied classical guitar, and had some keyboard lessons early in life, unfortunately from an uninspiring teacher. I disappointed my guitar instructor when I bought my first electric guitar. In the late 70s through the 80s I played with friends in various bands with varying levels of ability and seriousness. During the 90s and into the 2000s I focused my life on other things. Then, beginning about 2015, I began building up a home studio, trying to renew my ability to play multiple instruments, and working on writing and recording my own music as a creative outlet. I've always enjoyed writing, and want to become better at integrating music and words to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions in a way that others might appreciate. Good music has the power to move people, to communicate at a deeper level than words alone. I hope I can create some music that others might consider good! Also, It's just damn fun to rock out and create new things. I plan to work up a coherent set of tunes to play live and record for the world to hear, or at least a few people! 

I ignore bots and fake messages about my uploads and offers to promote my music. If you're not real and honest, I have no time for you.



AMOR*LEBEN*TODO
Music, Mystery, and the Multiverse of Michael Lemmer

Somewhere between a mountain echo and a memory of the future, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO hums.
It’s not just a label — it’s a living signal. A constellation of songs, poems, and visions beamed from the heart of the Rockies into every corner of the cloud.

This SoundCloud page is a crossroads — a place for wanderers and one-offs, sonic sketches and stray transmissions. Here drift fragments of the greater work: folk and funk, dream and data, dub and dawnlight. Every sound is part of a larger conversation — between art and accident, code and spirit, love and the long road home.

Founded by artist-producer Michael Lemmer, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO carries a simple mission: to keep the signal alive. The music, the words, the images — all vibrate from the same pulse. A celebration of life, love, and the strange electric hum that connects it all.

Tune in, drift wide, and listen closely.
Every track is a little transmission from the in-between.
