Ambient Piano, Solo Piano And Piano Driven Works

This track I played live on my Korg Stage-Piano SP-250. It took three attempts to coordinate the changes and overlapping of sounds (maximum 2 sounds). In the end I needed one break in the recording session for more concentration on the second piano part (in 5:51). I recorded it with a minidisc deck. An excerpt of it you can find in the nightmare sequence of Til Kuhles' filmlet "Double Life" ("Doppelleben"): http://double-k.org/
For this film I also wrote the end title: https://soundcloud.com/wiesenberg/doppelleben-double-life

Dieses neu komponierte Titelstück für das aktuell erschienene Album "Greetings From Australia", welches die Zusammenarbeit mit Heidi-Marie Arapa präsentiert, entstand kurz vor der Veröffentlichung und ist zugleich Heidi-Marie gewidmet, welche meine Kompositionen, deren Originale ebenfalls auf dem Album zu finden sind, so einfallsreich und vielfältig bearbeitet hat. Da es sich zumeist um Ambient-Piano-Stücke handelt, welche Heidi-Marie vor allem mit orchestralen Synthsounds ergänzt hat, ist auch das Titelstück passender Weise ein Ambient-Piano-Stück.

This newly composed title track for the currently released album "Greetings From Australia", which presents the collaboration with Heidi-Marie Arapa, was written shortly before its release and is also dedicated to Heidi-Marie, who my compositions, the originals of which can also be found on the album, edited so imaginatively and diversely. Since these are mostly ambient piano pieces, which Heidi-Marie has supplemented primarily with orchestral synth sounds, the title track is also appropriately an ambient piano piece.

The instrument I learned first was the cello, later on the piano. In my childhood and youth I took part in several orchestras and choirs. At the age of 17 I started playing in rock bands; in 1989 me and my friend Daniel ("Vocebasso" and "Liedschmied", you find him here) founded the progressive rock band "The Lynx"
(my functions: keyboards, cello, backing vocals, songwriting and arrangement). In the early 90s I became more and more enthusiastic about electronic music and the German broadcast radio show "Schwingungen" with Winfrid Trenkler. With the help of my first synthesizers Kawai K1 and Korg T3 I started to compose tracks. After using the internal sequencers I discovered the possibilities of Cubase. 
Beside my activities in the cover rock band "Silent Sound", several projects I initiated in my function as a teacher for music in a secondary school and the singer- /songwriter project "WortSpiel" (https://www.facebook.com/DuoWortSpiel) I never stopped composing electronic music in the last 20 years. 
My music is most influenced by orchestral music (classic, soundtracks), progressive rock and pop music and - of course - by electronic music. I will never forget, when I was six years old and my brother put on the record "Oxygene IV" by Jean-Michel Jarre. Another track, which gave me magic moments, was "Force Majeure" by Tangerine Dream. The year 1990 meant the final electronic wake-up call, namely in the form of Ron Boots and his great record "Dreamscape". It's one of my favorites to this day.
The themes of my music are generally the nature, journeys and landscapes, personal relations and emotions and - within these associations - often the longing for inner and outer freedom, for the breakout of boundaries and fears. 
Wiesenberg: That's the maiden name of my mother (by trade a vocalist), which refers back to my roots and to the long way, my ancestors took from Salzburg (Austria) through Königsberg / Kaliningrad (Russia) to Rheda-Wiedenbrück (Germany, North Rhine Westphalia). I walked on - through Lower Saxony to Rhineland-Palatinate. Next stop: Who knows? In the end I am an expellee and a hermit - an "eremit".
