Just in time before Christmas, a Metz-o-Mix release also arrives for the current year. All of those who're familiar with the previous volumes most probably suspect that, again, everything is possible and permitted in a musical sense. And yet, the assortment is almost as adventurous as the crazy year 2020 itself:

Beside some organ music classics, which are paired with highlights of movie and video game music, a few titles requested by my fan base have their grand entrance. In this case, we're speaking of traditional Japanese folk music, which was joined by additional pieces with an Asian touch in an improvisational temper. Last but not least, even the U.S. presidential election, which in the end might have bestowed a sigh of relief on many people worldwide, got its attention in the music.

Let's hope that a bit more of normality will be restored in the upcoming year — at least the next Metz-o-Mix is going to be released for sure!

Bach Organ Sonata, BWV 528 (II. Andante) [Solo Organ Track]

Full time lead software dev and a passionate spare-time pipe organ player. Adept at picking up, replaying and improvising pieces by ear, but I totally suck when it comes to sight-reading sheet music.

All of my skills are self-taught; starting about 30 years ago back when I was a child, but with the majority added over the past ~10 years, when I first had permanent access to physical pipe organs in Germany and Italy. Heavily influenced by the stuff I watch and play, I'm absolutely NOT the kind of "church organist" that anyone might expect, but focusing on orchestral / VGM / movie / soundtrack themes instead.

If you'd like to know what to expect, you're invited to check out my YouTube channel!
