At last, I have finished my remix of Anchor's Atlas. Now, it may seem that I am on a roll here, but I started quite some time ago with both Atlas Reshaped and A Comforting Solution. Not that I have been working on both these songs all that time, but still, both were not exactly created overnight.Next up is a serious attempt at completing my version of Blind Date. This one I have been working on when I got stuck with everything else, but now it is time to try and finish it.read more...
Hi friends,
I've recently added four new songs to my page, relatively old for me but new for this site:
Two more or less spontaneous instrumental improvisations (category: humor) and two songs, 'Bushmensong' and 'Mystery to Me'. The latter being based on an improvisation of words, guitar and Groove Agent. The lyrics seemed meaningless at first but in retrospect they reveal some meaning, at least to me.
Song art will follow…
I hope you like them.

I have finished another track for my Orpheus In Hell project. This one features Snowflake's spoken word piece Freedom, which is therefore the title of my song. You can also hear some excellent clarinet playing by Fireproof Babies, which he recorded specifically for this song.The track opens with a flute solo, originally called Still Life, which in its final version was inspired by the Dead Can Dance song Piece For Solo Flute from their splendid live album Toward The Within. I used a stretched and reversed version of my flute solo as an extra layer in the second part of the song.read more...
There is a new remix to be enjoyed. It's called A Comforting Solution and it's a remix of Artie Q's song Belief. I could waste your time by talking at lengths about it, but Artie has said it all here. The only thing I would like to add is that it was Duckett's drum loop which got the creative juices for this remix flowing again. So, thank you Duckett!read more...
Yo, Boys & Girls! Well, 'es only gone and done it, ain't he? The Master of the Mind Manipulation, The (un)Scrupulous Subjugator of Subconscious Suggestion, SUBLIMINAL has done a Mind F**k on me and subverted the course of normal remix procedure by eliciting a bunch of vocal samples from me (while I was sleeping!) and produced a fab remix of my song BELIEF, called A COMFORTING SOLUTION ... OR DID HE??? Maybe I sent them of my own free will; you know, asked him to do it in the first place. "Hmm ..." See ...? That's what 'appens when you get involved with a top notch spoon bending psychic like SUBLIMINAL/TRIPLE M/THE MOUSE MANIPULATOR FROM THE LOWLANDS. Anyway, enough of my nonsense, check out A COMFORTING SOLUTION and let him know what you think. Thank you, Michel. Nice!

Unfortunately I had to stay the hospital about 5 month ago. Because I sat in front of the PC for a long time and I got injury on my hip depth and I got high fever that's why I staied the hospital.
And then I was treated and I came back to my home but I had still the injury. that's why I have needed to take a rest long time, I mean that I couldn't sit in front of my PC long time. I couldn't

Everybody, take a rest, enough sleep, eat much and move your body !!!!!
Don't concentrate too much for your creating music also doing internet, All right ?

HIROTO.

As mentioned in my previous blog entry, I have uploaded the individual tracks of With Friends Like These for others to remix. You can find VBR mp3 files here and a plethora of different file formats (like WAV and FLAC) here (where you can also find the full mix).
I also want to use this opportunity to thank Steve and Edwin for their valuable and valued contributions. Their willingness to contribute to this song should not be taken for granted and deserves the highest gratitude.read more...

Aah yes, as any seasoned campaigner will tell you, Love, is a double edged sword. So be careful what you wish for, boys & girls, as undoubtedly it will appear ... just not quite in the guise you expected. Ain't that always the way! Anyway, if you want your very own digital copy of The Monster to have, hold, and hum along to, go here ... ARTIE Q/BEAUTIFUL MONSTER or here, ITUNESread more...
Not only was I proud to take part in this wonderful project, I'm as joyful to announce that it is now available as a music download—Nice! Well done, Jef, Achim & Artie.

This will be the opening title of my upcoming first solo album. If you find some time please take a listen and if you want to feel free to leave me a comment. Audio quality is below my normal standard as the song is 8 minutes long I had to go down with the bitrate to 160kb. Anyway I hope you may enjoy.

Escaping the land of the dream stealer. Fleeing for my sanity. I'll be at home with the real dealer. I am who I wanna be.
Fleeing the dream stealer; I'll be who I wanna be. I'm getting out of Dodge.
Small minds don't dare to dream, because in reaching for the stars they are made aware of how far it is to fall, so they dont try. I say dream big dreams, people, and fear not the fall, nor heed the fool who laughs at those who do. The fool is only jealous, for in laughing loudest he hopes that others wont notice he has no dreams of his own. Nor the courage to pursue any.
Fantasy, I'll make you my reality; I'll be who I wanna be
