Wenn ich Dich so spielen hören, sollte ich meine Gitarre auch wieder mal in die Finger nehmen. Das klingt bei Dir so wunderschön!

Such a lush atmosphere such a build of emotion with the nylon strings carrying it thru just beautiful!

Perfect soundtrack for the morning ride on the bus

The words in the stanzas are a quote by F.M. Dostoyevsky in: „Notes from the Cellar Hole“ (1864), translation by machine
The songtitle refers to a book by P. Watzlawik of the same title
(I added the refrain)


The Pursuit Of Unhappiness


(Never stop, never give up, never rest…)

"What can you now expect from a man [...]? 
If you shower him with all earthly goods, 
Immerse him in happiness 
Up to the ears, 
Up to the head, 
So that only bubbles rise 
To the surface of happiness 
As to the water level, 

(Never give up, never stop, never rest
From the cup, just one drop of bitterness)

Give him a pecuniary livelihood 
That nothing else remains for him to do than to sleep, 
To eat gingerbread 
And to care for the continuity of mankind - 
Then he, this same man, 
Will play a trick on you 
On the spot 
Out of pure ingratitude, 
Solely out of spitefulness. 

(Never give up, never stop, never rest
From the cup, just one drop of bitterness)

He will even risk the gingerbread 
And perhaps wish 
For the most pernicious nonsense, 
The most uneconomical nonsense, 
Only to add his own disastrous fantastic element 
To all this positive reasonableness. 
It is precisely his fantastic ideas, 
His banal stupidity 
That he will want to keep ..."

(Never give up, never stop, never rest
From the cup, just one drop of bitterness
Never give up, never stop, never rest - 
In the Pursuit Of Unhappiness
Never give up, never stop, never rest...)

The Pursuit Of Unhappiness

The aim was to use a very simple melodic phrase then point the data at lot's of plucky synths and mangle them within an inch of their lives.

Then extracting more data from the outcomes of each sound and piping that into the fx control functions.

I Beg To Differ

This is the first pass at a new song

All I Can Do In These Circumtances

In the morning when I wake beside you
I wonder whether I made it
Through the night
Or did I fall asleep alone
And open my eyes to an angel
In the afterlife?

I don’t know which one of the two
Just as long as my gaze can fall upon you


When you’re in my arms in the afternoon
I touch your face to be certain
That I still can
Or are you just a trick of the light
A case of wishful thinking 
For a deluded man?

All that I ask is if you’re not real
Then never stop me believing what I feel


At night time when the sun descends
I think about tomorrow
Will we still be here?
Or will the clocks freeze, will memories seize?
Will the pilot lights in our bodies
Just disappear?

All I can do in these circumstances
Is love you and carry on taking my chances
