Apparently, I make weird music. Fusing electro, braindance, experimental, glitch, contemporary classical, and progressive electronic

𝚃𝚞𝚗𝚎𝚜, 𝚗𝚘𝚒𝚜𝚎𝚜, 𝚋𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚜, 𝚍𝚊𝚏𝚝 𝚜𝚝𝚞𝚏𝚏

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.

Trance is the music of heaven.  Maybe, we can share some samples of heaven, with each other.

Wouldn't you like to walk into your favourite EDM club, and tell the DJ "12 hours please of (what music I feel like right now)" - and be able to change your "like" when you feel the need?

Going to a Live Club / Rave is great!  If you can't, there's SoundCloud, at Home.  Your friends can enjoy your music, with you (in your home, or theirs).

That's 12 Moods Trance, the club that never closes.

Enjoy.

If you click on the Quora Playlists link below, you may get a (bogus) "Danger Will Robinson" alert.  Click on "more options", then "continue onwards" to my blog.  It's worth it.  SoundCloud does not handle Quora links, apparently.  If you can use MeWe, try that link.

And as always, apologies for length.

your world is mine

Hello everybody 
I am a native German who emigrated to this lovely country in 1991. As a teenager I bought a Korg MS20, Korg SQ10 and a used PPG Wave 2.2 :) 
Made some noise with friends... 
When I went to Portugal I sold all the hardware ( what I deeply regret now) and never again touched a synth for 2 decades. 
Until a friend of mine ( a local producer) 
Invited me to his little home studio and showed me his DAW and some vst. I immediately got fascinated and curious. 
So he gave me a copy of Cubase 5 which is still my DAW... 
After a while I discovered Reaktor 6 and started to program some Block Patches.
In my free time I mainly explore those patches and once in a long while I actually finish a project ;) 
My influences are a broad , mainly may be J.M.J, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and a lot of others. 
So thank you for listening. 
Critics and tips are always welcome. 
P. S. Thank you Ricardo for giving me the best hobby! 
Have fun everybody.

I love the sounds of the 60s and 70s especially. I try to write songs that I would enjoy listening to myself. It’s the only gauge I have. My songs are just the sum total of all my positive listening experiences. I'll let you try to guess who they are!
