Well, this is somewhere between the 70s and modern progressive psy-trance.. I guess 😉 I started with some vintage sounds (samples from the Mellotron, Minimoog Bassline) and built up from there. And yes, I know it’s somewhat cheesy. I like it in this case. I think it’s somehow “consistent” in style 😉 I thought of […]

Analog Synth and drum stuff in a house-like style. I was a bit ill last week and was short on time. Didn’t get this as far as I would have liked to, arrangement and overall sound are somewhat unfinished. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Sitting in the park, the sun shining through the trees, playing with Nanoloop for iOS.

This would have been a very typical track for me back in the days when I my artist name was “surphaze”. Still like doing stuff like this, had a lot of fun while making it. Thanks to Nine Volt Audio for their nice loops which gave me some basic inspiration for this track and provided […]

I played with some sounds I made in Nanoloop for iOS – amazing little app that evolved from an old music program for the Nintendo Gameboy. I’ve been tired very often lately, because I’ve been physically exhausted from exercising a lot. Maybe that’s why this track seems to have a somewhat sleepy atmosphere..

This is a piano solo track. Last week there was a lot of fuzz about Valentine’s day. So I guess I caught some of the spirit and wrote a piano pop piece 🙂 Usually I take weeks to write a piano piece. This one was done in less than a week. So it’s a bit […]

Had a very nice jam session with the band “Styronauten” on wednesday. I cut the last set we played down to 8 minutes. This was recorded with a field recorder in the middle of the rehearsal room so please don’t expect too much in terms of sound quality. Thanks to Styronauten for the awesome jam. […]

Since last step was very joyful and rhythmic, I wanted to do something quite different this week. I had some emotions to cope with and made this track the day after. Thanks to Ms. Pflaume for taking care of me when I was down.

Alright.. this was a lot of work.. I guess it was worth it.. at least I had a lot of fun making this.. It’s kinda groovy and a little bit funky:-) Phorsicht wished for a “joyful” track.. so here you are… enjoy 😉

I wanted to do something more straight and rhythmic this week. Many thanks to Anna for lending me a “Tempest” Drum Machine by Dave Smith Instruments. I’m really impressed by what this beautiful little machine can do 🙂
