Just stumbled over this great US-formation of youngsters who make pretty cool music. Beats and synth like we used to get in the 'olden days', flashy melodic stuff. I just like it and feel inspired to make use of some more synth here and there.
Nice Performance of 'LE DISCO'
their space on myspace
their homepage
Keep it up, guns.
Update: Their studio album "We are pilots" is quite nice, but definitely overproduced, the great drum sounds of the LE DISCO performance from the video linked to above is nothing alike.
You should see them perform to get the best of it. Still, nice for a change.

"Old Iron" - First vocalized song ready
Ciao,
I have finished recording all I wanted to for my Happy-Birthday-Elton-John-Song "Old Iron".
It is audible in my myspace account .
Please use this blog to criticise it, be fair but tough. I can take it. C'mon.

Web-Update : Missing Images and Ugly Errors
Hi folksy bits,
as you might have noticed, there are not all images and contents on my websites as of now.
The reason : I moved to another server. My backup via FTP didn't work in all path-depths
as it seems, so that everything deeper than 2 folders got lost. I think I have most of the stuff
at home and will restore my own world order somewhen tonight.
Cheers and happy existing

What January brought so far...
G'Day ;)
January is a very great month as far as I'm concerned:
Family
My family is in good shape, my daughters have their toothing and coughing troubles, but develop so well...I can't even imagine that a mere 3 years ago there was none of that in my life, they're absolutely the best thing that ever happened in my whole life...
...Gaming
After Metal Gear Snake Eater, which seemed the one and only extremely great game on PS2 I sold my black and blue console more than a year ago. Now "FF12" and "FF7 - dirge of cerberus" made me curious. So i went out (alone on horseback) to collect me a ps2, all used and torn, to try those games.
Not a bit of a disappointment, both games rock. I never would have thought that real time battle (like FF12) or an action-shooter concept(D.O.C.) would work that well for me, but i was wrong. I guess I will have to invent a spare-time-multiplier to get everything i want to do done in what little time i have. Final Fantasy 12 is so much better than it's soundtrack, far better than it's predecessors (talking leagues here, friend!), so I give it a lot of my time. Square is the best. Final Fantasy X and X-2 were notches in their otherwise perfect portfolio. Bring back Uematsu and you'll have me until FF-M!
Audio
my first audio-track, 'Old Iron' (a birthday song for sixty-years-on.com) is as far as finished by 99%. This week i will add another few keyboards and revise all that's in there already, then do some remixing and send it to Stephan Heimbecher.
Writing and mixing the song was such a great exercise to get to know the software...As usual, real-life usage turns out to be the only useful exercise. In February I will start other tracks, some of which have been named here...
I hope your January was as fine as mine.
Cheeeeeeers!

PS3 is rocking it to the fattest
I just watched another few videos and reports and have come, once more, to the conclusion, that the ps3 will be worth a penny.
the graphics may be a bit below what x360 offers, but the capabilities are endless. nearly, that is.
I really see forward to the EU release of this mighty machine and hope that I will be able to get my hands on one of those.

Sweet January
After quite some time it seems we don't have to make trouble a hobby.
The keys for our real estate will be handed over shortly, all flaws have been discussed away (that's talking until they don't disturb you anymore, because talking is far worse a nuisance...), and we will most probably be in the rotten bunker by the end of Sweet January.
Musicing goes on pretty well at the moment. nearly completed my never-to-be-released song "old iron" and will compose more after that.
I am in a good mood to do more right now. I hope I'll find the time. Business as ususal.
