Musician & songwriter driven just by passion for songwriting and singing. I am releasing "SoundCloud first" but some selected songs are also on https://potbarley.bandcamp.com or Spotify etc, sometimes in older versions though.
Since spring 2023 I have been writing and recording mainly as a "one man band", using acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, an old piano, conga, etc. and a voice.
Former member of German bands: In Rags (with Sami Yli-Sirniö and Roman Keymer), Sharkpool and Dutch bands Garbitsjkeng, The Wit, Trio van Putten and and a few others. I baptized my Alter Ego and named him "Pot Barley".

I am a 'long suffering' songwriter.  What I 'suffer from' is a lack of ability to learn or play instruments or read music in real time from a staff with notes on it. Initially, I just wrote lyrics that no one would read.  So I began creating a capella vocal melodies that no one would listen to.  
     I learned to drag and drop notes onto a staff with software. . . which helped a little.  Microsoft came out with (for a little while) a software they called a music creator, but was actually just useful as a "chord generator".  That helped a little bit more.  I collaborated with talented musicians. . . and eventually found an incredibly talented professional musician who helped me to 'professionalize' some of my amateur offerings and didn't charge me money.  WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.  I had over 400 songs that were (according to musicians) "good ideas poorly played."  Then a friend suggested A.I. music.  Six months ago, the A.I. allowed me to create better music than I could manage on my own.  But it was "hit or miss."  A lot of work to make it do what I wanted instead of just letting it create what it wanted, and a lot of just plain luck involved.  THEN. . . within six months, the A.I. site allowed me to "cover my own songs," keeping MY vocal melody and vocal treatment (for the most part anyway) and MY (or my collaborators') instrumental melodies and finding far better and more professional instrumentation for the same melodies.  THAT was heaven.  I am truly blessed, and finally have justification for musical ideas I had as much as twenty five years ago.  Now, you can listen and evaluate whether it truly WAS worth sticking with it for the last thirty years.

A playful, joyous mood, happy vibes, uplifting tunes -  EDM & Dance are my favourite! #electronic #edm #dance #instrumental 💟🎈   Creating music is amazingly FUN and all I want is to share JOY!!! I do everything by myself - MIXING & MASTERING too - this is so enjoyable!!! 😍😊 
Love and Respect to everyone who spares time on my playlists and tracks. I'm deeply honoured and I thank you all immensely!!!  🙏😊💟🌹
