The coming two weekends will be very different in terms of musical style: Tonight at about 11pm, I'll be playing rock and covers with Panta Rei at Bliss, Stuttgart. Next week (Nov 6-8th), I'll be playing three concerts with the songwriter Martin Pepper in Weinstadt, Winnenden and Ludwigsburg...
This month, I've been working on a very interesting assignment: I arranged the music for the theatre production “The Meg and Mog Show” for the Players Theatre Singapore, a non-profit children's theatre. “T...
Tomorrow, Future Music Camp 2009 will start at the Pop Academy Mannheim. It's a barcamp focused on music and entertainment with a lot of high-profile participants. The camp will start on Friday night with a meet & greet session. Saturday and Sunday there'll be sessions on different topics...
A new review I wrote (in German) has been published on Musician's Life. This time, I took a look at 112db's Redline Monitor. It's a tool that helps you optimize the sound for mixing with headphones. And of course, I included a few sound samples I made. All my articles for Musician's Life
Originally, I wanted to take part in the Popkurs Hamburg this year. Unfortunately, that didn't work out, so I decided to use those three weeks I reserved for that in March to have a working phase of my own...
Currently, this blog is a bit quieter since a lot of things are going on. I hope that will change soon! At least there's one piece of news: Tomorrow I'll be playing with Panta Rei at Zwölfzehn. Thats a Greek pop/rock band I got to know recently. They are currently recording their debug album....
Via Kompoz, I got to know Ollie Green from Scarborough (UK). I played bass for one of his tracks. On December 20th, he published his album “Hold On” using BandCamp. You can give the album a listen and download it in different formats. The track I played on is called “Party Fuel”. The lo...
“Ich steh an deiner Krippen hier” is one of my favourite chrismas hymns (sung to the melody by the great Johann Sebastian Bach), because of the depth of Paul Gerhardt's lyrics. Th...
Another weekend with nice colleagues, but this time more stressful than the previous one. I definitely learned one lesson: A Vito is not a suitable car for a band...
Michael Preidel has published another wonderful Bossa Nova song called „Kleine Katze“ (little kitten). I'm glad I could contribute about 1.5 lines of lyrics and am looking forward to hear the band version!
Almost like being on holidy: I spent a weekend in a lovely little resort to play for a choir musical. Five choirs (young and old), a very dedicated choir director, single room and nice colleagues left nothing to desire. Since it was mostly pop stuff, I travelled with my six string and the fretless...
Another review I wrote (in German) has been published on Musician's Life. This time, I wrote about SugarBytes Effectrix, an interesting step sequencer for effect. And this time there's a few bass licks (in the sound samples) :-).
This May, I went to the studio to record bass tracks for the gospel choir The Gospel House from Winnenden, for their new CD “Looking for You”. Th...
I guess that everyone who has been playing an instrument for a while knows about Gear Acquisition Syndrome, the desire to buy more and better equipment. It seems it is a hot topic not only for musicians, but for photographers as well...
