fun to read about your process, it is neat to hear how long it can take for a song to come to completion, you have such a nicely distinctive vocal style

How come...I don't know you but I love you Michael??? ha ha....you surely can write and sing it out !

I've listened to a few of your songs now and I'd have to say I'm most impressed with the lyrics.  Having said that, I really like the vocals too and you seem to have a way with arrangements.  I'm glad I stumbled upon your work.

excellent songwriting, while I think the chord changes are not so mainstream

Such a fine song. Great vocals on this, tis a grower!

Love the whole thing, lyrics, gentle vocal delivery, arrangement, even the accompanying picture, which is what first caught my eye.

lyrics to sixteen worlds away


Let us glve you what we've got
there's no reason for the things that broke your heart
that was the last thing that he sa!d 

l'm feeling pretty good
considering the circumstance
he sald with a sigh

he got a little Jaded
he decided joy and pa!n
both were slightly somewhat overrated
Simply incidental to existence ln the Ether

she was standing on the road ln the Rags of her remorse
eyes so Bright
and on her golden platform ln the 
mud of what was Lost

l'm sixteen worlds away from you
she sa!d
l know lt's hard to get lt through your head

l'm here and there
and lt's getting difficult 
to keep my continuity-
(for reasons that are not exactly clear to me)

Sixteen Worlds Away

'Armachairon' is a Jazz Fusion track.........We have no doubt all heard of the expression 'Armageddon', well this is 'Armachairon' and is my personal strange sense of humour. As we probably all spend far too long sitting in/on CHAIRS, and probably all moan at some point about a sore or stiff back, well this is 'Armachairon' My teacher used to say that the only good thing that the back of a chair was useful for was hanging your jacket on. How right he was.
However the track itself is shared by myself and the inimitable Mr Georg Boehme. Georg being responsible for all Wind arrangements and Wind solos.The overall arrangement and all other instruments are by me, including production.
Georg's own page is here https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme
Again my huge thanks goes to Georg for his part in the track and again just honoured to share music with him.

Angelika ist meine Schwester, und es handelt sich um einen Drohnenflug. Dabei entstand ein kurzes Video, das den Ort zeigt, an dem sie lebt und arbeitet, und zu dem ich eine kurze Musik geschrieben habe, für ihre Webseite www.human-unfoldment.de .
Wir alle haben schon erstaunt unsere Fähigkeit zu Fliegen zur Kenntnis genommen - in unseren Träumen, von Zeit zu Zeit. Das tun wir dann mit der größten Selbstverständlichkeit, Leichtigkeit und Gelassenheit. Und wir haben den Wunsch, das unser Leben so wäre.
We all have the ability to fly - in our dreams, from time to time. It happens to be very simple, we do it relaxed and withour any effort. And we wish our lives would be like that.
This piece grew out of a little music I wrote for a video for the website of my sister, which is about yoga and personality building. The video shows a drone flight over the place, where she lives and works - a lake, trees, houses, nice weather.

Accusations of the unhealing wound & the eternal wait
A voice from the light once told me with true love it is never too late
In this down pour of emotions that flood from the eyes that hide away
Bury My Heart & Forget Me, said the gullible poet who wanted you to stay

Is it true that this haunted heart is delving too deep for anyone to ever save
Opened my life to you & granted you secret wishes upon everything I gave
If you are here to Bury My Heart & Forget Me, then tell me love is just a lie
Confront the poet you called King & release me so I can finally die....

This is what happens when I listen to Louis Armstrong again: I pick up my clarinet and start playing !  I'm using an A clarinet on this one , tried to play as a trumpetist (whish I was also BTW...  I did have a little try with my old bother's trumpet...but not there yet ! ) .  Anyway, I hope you like this little swing cooked up Home in New Orleans-style with a little help from  Ireal Pro !!
Have a good WE

PS Let me know if these vibes make you feel like playing along, i'd be more than happy to send you a base track and come up with another even more fun track !!

Last Call To NOLA

Because of the Marshal's popularity in the first installment, we thought a sequel would be fun as he embarks on another daring mission of bringing Old-West law and order to another planet where criminal mischief has broken down the rule of celestial law. Central Galactic Intelligence(CGI)received a frantic call for help that anarchists had taken over a peaceful and prosperous world and needed the Marshal to set things right.  The track begins with him and his crew (Curtis, Seagull, and David)being cleared for takeoff.
A big thank you to Curtis Gremmel(center-left in the mix) for his superb playing, Seagull @farout-music-studio for his visionary and production expertise, and Clara for being the angelic voice of CGI.

In the year 2002, Gusgus was touring the states with the new lineup and album Attention.  One of the tracks in the set was though a cover of old Human League track called "Things that dreams are made of".  Not shure if we have any live recordings of it but here is the lave backup version we did in case of equipment breakdown.

Things that dreams are made of (livebackup)

Written April 2012. This is from my 2012 backlog when I was really trying to concentrate on basic mainstream song structure. It started with the melody for the chorus – though I was stuck for lyrics. Also independently I had the lyrics for what are now the second set of verses. I then came up with a lyric for the chorus, and later realised that this would fit with the verses I'd been working on separately. I then did a melody line for the verse, melody and lyrics for a bridge, and then put it all on the computer (so I had to work the chords out properly) and this led to the second bridging part from the end of the chorus back into the verse. I recorded some vocals in May 2012, and then shelved it until the start of this month (Feb 2013) when I made myself finish it off by writing the rest of the lyrics and recording the remaining vocals. I worry that the chorus sounds *too* familiar though.

Sometimes Love Is Not Enough

It's the culmination of what has been a roller coaster debut year: the eponymous debut album by the phenomenal Vienna duo HVOB is a lesson in how versatile, intelligent and creative electronic music can be.

It's been just twelve months since the first snippets appeared on Soundcloud, during which time the young electronic duo HVOB (short for Her Voice over Boys) have been causing a real stir throughout Europe: "… this is what deep house sound should sound like. Pure love …" (hmwl.org, Sweden), "… sure to be spoken about …" (delicieuse-musique.com, France), "More please, and soon!" (thegap.at, Austria), "… sleek and beautifully crafted beats …" (electronicbeats.net, Germany). 

HVOB have been a hit with the most influential music blogs and with the public: acclaimed appearances at the likes of Germany’s MELT! Festival, number 4 in the Beatport Deep House charts with their debut EP "Dogs", number 10 in the Top Live Acts of the Year and number 11 in the Best Singles of 2012 in DE:BUG’s readers' poll. At the end of 2012, leading Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab used HVOB's music for the soundtrack of his collection video.

Vienna-born Anna Müller (composition, production, vocals) and Paul Wallner (composition and final production) are kicking off the second year of their collaborative project with another release, only this time with more than just tantalising snippets: their eagerly anticipated debut LP, "HVOB", released March 8, contains twelve tracks that showcase the duo's distinctive sound – intelligent and sophisticated, emotive and melodic. 

The opening track "Hold Your Horses" could be a signature tune for HVOB: organic beats, soft piano sounds and Anna Müller's stunning voice give way to compelling deep house. Further highlights of the album: scheduled for release in February, the single "Jack" with its emotive beats, the complex electronic ballad "Fog Machine", and "Always Like This", HVOB's interpretation of the track by British indie rock band Bombay Bicycle Club.

HVOB, who on stage perform live and with a drummer, are planning a European tour after the album's release. Venues will include: Paris (as part of Paris Fashion Week), Berlin, Zurich; further information: www.hvob-music.com


SVT098 - HVOB - Hold your horses (Original Mix) [Snippet]

HVOB have only just released their impressive debut album, but the next EP is already on the way: "Always Like This" is almost a tribute to the Vienna-based electronic duo's current wave of success.
Number 1 in the iTunes Dance Charts in Austria and number 3 in Germany, number 3 in the Beatport Deep House Charts – and HVOB's eponymous debut album continues to win the band critical acclaim in a success story which began when the first snippets appeared on Soundcloud a year ago. HVOB's Berlin-based label Stil vor Talent, which is no stranger to success, has been delighted by one of its best selling albums to date.
HVOB's third EP is scheduled for release on April 26 – and the track selection seems to be more than mere coincidence. "Always Like This" is an accurate reflection of the young Vienna electro duo's life right now. Anna Müller and Paul Wallner are "super happy" with the way things are going, busy as they are with all the live appearances in cities like Berlin, Paris and Istanbul, long nights spent in the studio and the formation of new partnerships: alongside Four Artists, Primary Talent, one of the world's major booking agencies, will in future be looking after the interests of HVOB.
"Always Like This" is the third single from the album "HVOB". HVOB's cover of the track by British indie rock band Bombay Bicycle Club mixes warm synth pads with soft beats, while Anna Müller's distinctive voice puts an entirely new spin on the melancholy of the original. Oliver Koletzki and Andhim have both made remixes of HVOB's interpretation of "Always Like This": Oliver Koletzki's version is powerful, emotive and melodic, while Andhim's shows incredible attention to detail and is intensely deep and original.
HVOB, which stands for "Her Voice Over Boys", are Anna Müller and Paul Wallner, who formed the duo in spring 2012. Müller (composition, production, vocals) and Wallner (composition and final production) produce intelligent, sophisticated electronic music, which is both easy to listen or dance to. The Vienna duo, who favour live on-stage performances with the backing of a drummer, will be appearing at the Donaufestival in Krems, Lower Austria, the Lighthouse Festival on the Lanterna peninsula (Porec, Croatia), the Pratersauna in Vienna, the Übel & Gefährlich in Hamburg and the Ninkasi in Lyon.

I made a remix for the new EP of the Canadian songwriter Valery Gore

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
