GT LL THT U DSRV
08/07/09 22:05 Themes: Steven Wilson | Melody Oriented
I feel quite full of energy after the break so this time it looks like two improvisations are being published on the same day! This one is loosely based on Steven Wilson's "Get All That You Deserve" from his latest solo album “Insurgentes”. On the just released mini-album “NSRGNTS RMXS” you can find two great remixes of this track as well. Each of them exposes a different feature of this magnificent composition. Highly recommended.

Electric Fridays #12: Of a Long Day
12/06/09 22:40 Themes: Electric Fridays | Melody Oriented
It seems consecutive episodes of Electric Fridays got closer to each other than they were before. We’ll work it out. Nevertheless, this time a very quiet and slow piece, very mellow and peaceful.

Electric Fridays #11: Babylon
05/06/09 20:16 Themes: Electric Fridays | Clandestine
Already the 11th edition of Electric Fridays, weekly e-piano improvisations. This time a subtle song, a variation on the „Babylon” theme by Clandestine. The original itself is a very pleasing and surprisingly deep collage of nursery rhymes and traditional themes. Recommended.
Listen to Babylon 4:09
By the way, I mentioned some great stuff coming up. And indeed, I’ve got three things to mention.

Lantern on the Hill
03/06/09 12:00 Themes: Rhythm Oriented
Backdated because it was recorded yesterday. I just ran out of energy to do the master and publish it. Theme and title inspired by a German movie I saw that day: „Gegen die Wand”.

Lullaby for My Son (Phase 2)

Desire as a Manifestation of Power
28/04/09 21:46 Themes: Melody Oriented
As means of contrast to the more technical or bizarre tunes of the last few days, this time a simple mellow theme composed and recorded in one take.

Silence of the Appearing
14/04/09 23:11 Themes: Melody Oriented
A chaotic tune, recorded in the first days of April. Very edgy, somewhat bluesy and only a draft concept.

As a side note, I managed to prepare an article on how I use categorisation on this site and what use it has for you. Read on.

Key Signature Tackled, Pt. 1
09/04/09 23:09 Themes: Key Signature Tackled | Melody Oriented
I planned for some time to prepare a more structured series of improvisations. KST, Pt. 1 starts a particularly mellow one. Three more parts are planned. You can also be interested in KST, Pt. 2.

20MPH Through The Springtime Snow
24/03/09 19:49 Themes: Jingle Bells | Traditional
A quirky tune incorporating the smooth feel of driving at the speed of cycling because of a sudden comeback of the winter.

Ana Marie Anomaly (Conservatory)
This is originally the first of Anomalies ever created, but this recording is done much later. It appeared as the second track on the album. It is the most peaceful of them all, with many conscious musical references. How many can you spot?

End Titles
18/03/09 21:51 Themes: Anomalies
Fourth of Anomalies, another longer piece from 2007. This is how I imagine a soundtrack for the finale and end titles of an unspecified movie. If you have an idea for a screenplay, drop me a line.

Fall of the Watermelon Man

A variation on the Watermelon Man theme with a metal twist, with apologies to Herbie Hancock.

Comptine de la Fille Trahi
11/03/09 12:25 Themes: Yann Tiersen | Amélie
This improvisation, originally performed in 2007, is a collage of Yann Tiersen's Comptine D'un Autre Été: L'apres Midi, La Valse D'Amélie and some original ideas.

Trust Like Empathy
07/03/09 08:35 Themes: Anomalies
For weekends a single longer piece will be published. This one is particularly heavy but turned out to be pretty successful when it came out. It is the very first of Anomalies, a series of improvisations I’ve done in 2007. Unfortunately the unedited Logic files are gone, so only the processed ones will be published along with the MP3s.
