Winter NAMM 2011 is rolling –
A little bit curious what DSI will reveal, as there were some rumours and tech specs already spread on sequencer.de. Also some new Korg synth seems to be on the way, but no real information is available yet.
New Album – “Interlude to a Daydream”
On January 1st 2009 I decided to put the whole album online as free download.
You can find it here.
Enjoy!

Some Music online now
Greetings to You out there!
For all of you who wondered where my music is, what it might sound and where all the announcements have gone into:
I added a track on the TZTH myspace site, a second will follow soon. They came up around Haloween/Samhain this Year – a very special time for some of us…. These tracks have passed the test for going public, in contradiction to most music I did before …
The myspace blog contains also some background infos about these tracks, how they emerged from the depth, along with some lyrics, etc.
Hope you like it!
Tokafi
Since this summer I am also occasionally writing for tokafi.com besides my main mag medienkonverter, that I join since august 2006.
Tokafi covers a slightly different part of the musical world than medienkonverter, that is more “scene” focused. Medienkonverter has a very good staff and enjoys a good reputation among the online music mags and readers, as they are one of the few really critical voices on the net. Tokafi’s background is the avantgarde and classical scene and musical innovation is stressed, regardless of sales figures and hype.
A first interview of the swiss musician Bernhard Wagner is online now.
Enjoy!
cleanup your plugin folder
After being totally bored with synthesizers and VST plugins for a long time I cleaned up my plugin folder. Having heard the new synths like the Rob Papen stuff, that sounds at first glance interesting but rather cold after some time (not to say that his christianity evangelizing attempt on his website is rather disgusting!). So I listened to the Arturia emulations of the old synths and must say that they have it, but they do cost something. I like the ARP2600 and the CS80. I was also quite surprised how fat and rich the CS80 sounds, always thought it was just a lame old string machine. Wrong. So if you look for warmth and that beautiful analog strangeness – there are also some other geeks producing even free stuff that’s really great in that matter:
urs heckmann (Zebra2! – far beyond the usual 3 OSC additive synths, that have flooded our Computers)
ohmforce (every serious mad musician must at least own one instrument of them 
)
tapeworm from tweakbench (rather funny but better 3 nice sounds than 14000 mediocre)
e-phonic (invader rules – all free!)
Or take some time and a cup of italiano espresso and search through KVR
enjoy!

Soundfiles and pictures from our session are here.

I guess all editing is done now – listen to the stuff we played here!
7-7-7
Der 7.Juli 07 ist ein guter Tag.
Zuerst werde ich wohl dem Normalstrom den Rücken kehren und Naturstrom in Zukunft beziehen.
Wo? Jederzeit – sogar online, die Deutsche Umwelthilfe e.V. hat die besten Anbieter hier zusammengestellt. Am 7.7. in der Münchner Muffathalle – hier steigt nach den ersten Leipziger Naturstrom-Wechselparties die erste in München. Ein gute Idee wie ich finde.
Danach werd ich wohl etwas das Geschehen um liveearth verfolgen, Live Aid anno 1985 nachempfunden – zugunsten des Klimaschutzes.
Ob’s was bringt sei dahingestellt, sinnvoller sind Taten. Einfach und naheliegend: der Wechsel der Stromanbieter, Energie sparen und effizient einsetzen. Wen das jeder macht, ist der Effekt sehr gross und keiner bricht sich einen Zacken aus der Krone. So einfach geht’s.
Neben entdeckt: Auch Michail Gorbatschow bleibt übrigens nicht untätig: das grüne Kreuz
