Fulmine Iovis Deiectus (Demo)

Most of this track is based on an unfinished style I created in my teens (ca. 15–17, I cannot date it precisely anymore). Although it bothered me to leave it unfinished, I was frustrated with most of my musical endeavours back then and tried to start something completely new. In early 2013, more than a decade later, I rediscovered the idea and decided to add the missing parts and flesh out the arrangement in order to preserve it and finally make it into a proper track. "Ceremonial Trance" was the name of the original style; I decided to keep it for the sake of authenticity rather than think of a proper title so many years later.

Ceremonial Trance

This was one of the first entirely self-programmed styles I created back then, and marked the beginning of a new sound for me. Before exploring electronic (dance) music, I used to write pretty conventional Pop/Rock songs for the most part. This is also the first track with a somewhat heavier edge, including distorted guitars; it may be seen as a foreshadowing of things to come. I made this recording of the track in early 2013 upon rediscovering all those old styles. A few minor changes have been made since the original arrangement was somewhat clumsy (and I didn't even remember all of it, it's more than a decade ago after all). In the original version, the guitars were programmed as well; this time I recorded them properly, and I believe the overall quality benefits from that.

I Am the Redeemer

The Real Redeemer ist my side project which started off when I revisited some of the electronic tracks and ideas from my teens (as presented in the two-track playlist "The Real Redeemer revival 2013"). The alias itself has its origin in this time period, too. I am well aware of the limitations under which those old tracks were composed, so preserving them was really a nostalgic endeavour above all.

As illustrated by the first all-new track, "Fulmine Iovis Deiectus", I am planning to expand on this project in the future and have already gathered some ideas. My vision is to combine an old-school sounding electronic backbone of Trance, Drum'n'Bass and/or Trip-Hop with acoustic instruments and elements of improvisation.
