hilarious!

Erfindungen, die die Welt nicht braucht...

Patent 962 : Der Multimedia-Kamin

just 'nother bout of music

I hardly believe it myself, but I had a few hours with my piano these days, which I used to experiment with a few instrumental tracks.
Finally I got around to make a kind of compound of 4 of my demo outtakes, which can be heard in my myspace profile as of now.

Furthermore I just made a rough mixup of a few Elton John covers I recorded from time to time, which can be downloaded here. More info on why the sound sucks so much can be found in this myspace blog entry.

I also had the chance to do some interesting new stuff : I recorded a piano segment for a quite cool track ("inquisitors") created by paul garcia, a spanish musician (www.paul-garcia.com). I'm not sure if it will ever be available for public listening, but I'll keep you updated.

So, I get to do things, but hardly have the time to improve my recording quality...well, this life's still got some days in it for me, I hope...

php5 likes transitive access levels?

When working on a singleton class in php, I noticed a funny behaviour.
The following code will lead to an error

Access level to B::__construct() must be public (as in class A)

class A
{
 public function __construct(){}
}
class B extends A
{
 private function __construct()
 {
  parent::__construct();
 }
}
$B = new B();
?>

Weird...

Yet another CD recommendation

Richie Sambora, who probably makes most of his fame by working in the Bon Jovi Band, has made some really good solo stuff in the 90s and probably before (I don't know). As far as I'm concerned, this is the best I've heard from him.

Check out my favourite track [Hard times come easy] from this album

Halleluia...

...is what I recorded two days ago and finished last night.
It's a nice song, written by rufus wainwright. check it out on www.myspace.com/edelmeier

edit : that's what happens if you don't inform yourself. the song was originally written by the man himself : Leonard Cohen
